I was thrilled to read that Le Ballon Rouge, a wonderful, timeless movie, has been re-released. I remember watching it in Elementary School. I think we must have watched it every year. Do you remember it?
It is the story of a little boy, Pascal, and a red balloon with a mind of its own. It was produced in 1956 and was filmed on the streets of Paris. The movie has virtually no dialogue but is set against a beautiful musical score.
I think it will be perfect for our next family movie night. It definitely meets Eva's criteria of no villains. We watched Mary Poppins last week which was wonderful! I'd forgotten what a great movie that is. Again, no villain. We're talking about Pinocchio. I can't remember if there's a villain in it. Anyone know?
No sure if Le Ballon Rouge is available for download from itunes (since our move that has been our favorite way to rent movies.) But I decided that this was a movie I *had* to own. I bought it here. Then I noticed this movie that I also saw in Elementary School. So I bought it too. Nostaglia. I can't get enough. Look through this site, though, it's pretty cool. Foreign, classic and independent films for sale. I remember this one too.
I'd love to know if any of them ring a bell with you.
