I watched Le Ballon Rouge for the first time yesterday after Pia Jane Bijkerk wrote about it. Its absolutely gorgeous - even when its a bad quality upload (but thats ok its free!) - I can't wait to see it on dvd.
Its a short film (32 minutes) set in postwar Paris (1956). It follows a young boy - Pascal - who one day finds a big red balloon on his way to school. Gradually he begins to realise that the balloon has a mind of its own...you'll have to watch it to find out the rest, but it involves lots of beautifully portrayed little adventures as they go through the streets of Paris.

I keep hearing about this film! I really must sit down and watch it someday.
So lovely, I've got to watch this eventually too.
I really need to see this film, especially with all the balloon hype all over the design blogs. Putting in on my list of things to do!
