Editorial Reviews:
Newly restored and available for the first time on DVD Albert Lamorisse's exquisite The Red Balloon remains one of the most beloved children's films of all time. In this deceptively simple nearly wordless tale a young boy discovers a stray balloon which seems to have a mind of its own on the streets of Paris. The two become inseparable yet the world's harsh realities finally interfere. With its glorious palette and allegorical purity the Academy Award-winning The Red Balloon has enchanted movie lovers young and old for generations.System Requirements:LENGTH: 34 minutes Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC: 715515028820 Manufacturer No: CC1746DDVD

Summary: An Automatic Purchase!
Comment: As with many other reviewers here, I saw this movie on a klunky, noisy film projector several times in elementary school in the 60s.

When I became a teacher, naturally I haunted book stores and movie sections. When I saw "The Red Balloon" on VHS, it was an Automatic. No pocketbook scrutiny was involved! I went with my heart.

I have used it in classes from kindergarten through 6th grade, encouraging retelling through Beginning-Middle-End format or having Limited English Proficient students generate a word bank. Both ends of the age spectrum have to generate the vocabulary, since the main intelligible words are, "Balloon!" and "Pizza!" (in French). I ask high-level "Why?" questions to encourage high-level writing. The story is straight-forward enough for the students to identify the answers, so they can concentrate on expressing themselves. Not many students have been able to resist the charm and magic of the story. These days, that is high praise, indeed!

I am looking forward to purchasing this DVD. I am very relieved to read that the color and sound qualities are better than some have reported.

Summary: Tops!
Comment: No wonder this film ran away with so many prizes! For audiences accustomed to trite story lines and obvious symbolism, Red Balloon remains a prime example of how film art can tell a pure story with enough levels of meaning for the youngest child through the oldest sage.
