Rating: A --
Lamorisse's lyrical tale, largeky told through imagery, holds up extremely well, and it's still the only short feature to ever win a major Oscar (original screenplay).

To see THE RED BALLOON is to laugh, and cry, at the impossible joy of being a child again. -- Grade: A

Rating: 3/4 --
The story of a boy and his toy, The Red Balloon is widely praised for its narrative and visual "purity," but not enough is said about the movie's delightful manipulation.

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.

A beautiful little meditation on childhood, on imagination literally taking flight.

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.
