The Red Balloon (French: Le Ballon rouge) is a 1956 fantasy short film, directed by French filmmaker Albert Lamorisse.

The thirty-four minute short, which follows the adventures of a young boy who one day finds a sentient, mute, red balloon, was filmed in the Ménilmontant neighborhood of Paris, France.

It won numerous awards, including an Oscar for Lamorisse for writing the best original screenplay in 1956 and the Palme d'Or for short films at Cannes. The film also became popular with children and educators.

Lamorisse used his children as actors in the film. His son, Pascal Lamorisse, plays Pascal in the main role, and his daughter Sabine portrays a little girl.

djjd62, did you see the recent remake Flight of the Red Balloon by Hsiao-hsien Hou?

Are you an american citizen. Why are you so interested in communist balloons?

Actually, rabel, these are balloons sponsored by Republicans from the "Red States."

Well MIT won. They offered $2000 to the first person to submit accurate coordinates and additional smaller payouts to anyone who referred them. Money talks.

No real difference.
