 One of My Favorite French Films! March 12, 2004

I have fond memories of Watching The Red Balloon when I was a little girl in the 70's. I remember it being shown in my Elementary school with an old movie projector and I also remember watching it on TV and this is still one of my favorite French movies. It is a short film about a little French boy who follows a red balloon throughout Paris and it is a very endearing movie. A Couple of years ago this movie was shown on TCM and I taped it and I see that Several reviewers have wrote about owning this movie on DVD and I would love to have it on DVD but Amazon only seems to have the video in their online catalog and no DVD so I guess that the DVD is out of print or Amazon just doesn't sell it but anyways I very highly recommend this delightful movie which is great for all ages! BTW: I liked the movie so much as a child that when I saw the book in our public library I borrowed it several times and I loved the book too!

I first saw Lamorisse's "The Red Balloon" in Kindergarten. It was years before I saw it again at a public library in Seattle.This is one of the best films about childhood and its existential affections. It captures the wonder and the woe and has a ... well, I will let you discover the end. It is still my favorite short film. Especially, if you have children - this is a keeper!

i remember this stupid movie.
i may have blocked it from my memory if all my teachers didn't show it when they were absent and make us write 5 page papers on it.

I had read great reviews of this movie a while back and was so excited when i saw it in the tv guide. What a disappointment. Unless you've seen this movie as a child, chances are you won't see the appeal. It's a very average movie about a boy whose balloon follows him everywhere. The concept is cute AT FIRST, but after 20 minutes of the same damn thing, you're hoping someone will put the balloon (or yourself) out of its misery. It's difficult to make a successful film when you find no reason to care about it's characters, like this little boy who we know absolutely nothing about. However, on the upside, it is quite aesthetically pleasing, and the best part of all...it's only an hour:)
 Scandal June 20, 2003

It is a scandal that such a poor quality DVD of such a great children's movie would be released in this fashion. The VHS tape is of much better quality!
