As enjoyable for adults who wistfully view scenes of post-war France in all its black and white chicness, as it is for kids.

Rating: 4/4 --
A beautiful little meditation on childhood, on imagination literally taking flight.

Rating: 59/100 --
For those of us who don't have childhood memories driving our analysis, it's a passable kids movie that could be so much more.

The absence of one key scene near the film's end renders the entire thing pablum.

Product Description:
Perfect for all ages, this beautiful French film is a short with music and sound but no dialogue. The focal point is a bright red balloon, the psychological companion of a young French boy as he goes to school and plays with his friends. This classic won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. In 2008, Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao Hsien reimagined the beloved film as THE FLIGHT OF THE RED BALLOON.
