le ballon rouge

Have you ever been followed everywhere you went by a red balloon with a life and mind of its own?

This is what happens to Pascal in "le ballon rouge", a short film by Albert Lamorisse that takes place in the late 50s in the Ménilmontant neighbourhood of Paris, France.
Thanks aboutsomethings for this discovery. So poetic, so beautiful.

You can watch this short film here, here, here and here.
