Mesmerizing!
I wonder, is there any other 30 minute short produced in the history of film that is more enchanting and moving than “Le Ballon rouge”?

The vivid colors and the wonderful use of Paris scenery is only part of the experience, another large part is the touching performance by the director’s six year old son Pascal in the lead (how lucky he didn’t fall and break his neck in that opening scene where he finds the balloon!). The look on his face in the final scene is every bit as heartbreaking as that of Jackie Coogan in Chaplin’s legendary “The Kid”. The whole movie is reminiscent of the best Chaplin had to offer, mixed with a little Jacques Tati and a touch of storybook fantasy. On the basis of only *one* *short* film Albert Lamorisse will forever see his name in gold print in the annals of movie history, which is quite an achievement!

It will tear your heart with joy, fascination, sorrow and spellbind you with jubilation in just 30 minutes! A true classic, well deserving of it’s screenplay Oscar, only a demon could be cold enough in his heart to dislike it!

Now pleeeaaase; release it on DVD!

Beautiful. Simple. Essential.
This film is one of the most beautiful films ever… Visually, the idea of having a red balloon fly through the gray-filled landscapes of the long-lost neighborhood of Belleville is such a magnificent visual element that it will make some viewers’ lower jaw drop. The symbolic story, along with the elements into which it unfolds into a dramatic and lyric masterpiece, are as simple and therefore as stunning as the visual thematic of the film. I have seen this film again a few months ago, and was amazed at how well it ages. I presume it has to do with the fact that the film’s central topic is the journey of this boy, his joys and sorrows, his hopes and disappointments, friendships and conflicts, or just his imaginary world. But I would also bet that the unmatched simplicity of the plot, the mesmerizing color tones of the film and the cinematography that deserves it are equally important in what makes it universal and a must-see for every child in the world.
