the Orange Balloon

An orange balloon with a life of its own follows a little boy around his apartment. Boy and balloon play together in the playroom and try to elude big brother who wants to reclaim it.

Ahhhhhh, the Red Balloon, do you remember the film? It takes me back to 1st grade, in the 70's.  It was one of the many reel-to-reel movies we watched while seated in front of the black board.  As we sat and waited for the film to start, all of us girls compared who had the longest knee socks.  I never won.
