This is a beautiful movie with virtually no dialogue (the dialogue there is is in French; it has subtitles), about the relationship between a seemingly sentient balloon & a young boy. Our son began watching this movie before he was two & still loves it, as I did as a child. There are a few scary moments (other boys chasing the boy & his balloon, trying to pop it & then succeeding) but it's really one of the sweetest kids' movies ever made.
I'm a foreign film fan myself, I could not wait to show my kids this movie, it was a hit, my daughter was fascinated, it's such a simple but sweet film. You must watch!
I don't see why this is rated 7+??? Other than some older kids chasing him (doesn't that happen on every playground in the world at all ages??) there's nothing even remotely scary or anything else about this movie. Even a 2 or 3 year old would probably just like watching the balloon. A true classic.
