I will give this film 5 stars.
This film was filmed in 1956 and set in Paris, France.
The boy is very funny because he had to climb up a pole to get a red balloon. He also was able to make the balloon stay there and made it fly up in the air. People were trying to steal the balloon but the balloon could fly away. Later on in the film the balloon had shrivelled so he trod on it and burst it.
The balloon is very funny because he was able to fly and escape from danger all the time. People were trying to throw rocks at it but it flew up and down but it could not escape because there was a rope tied to it. The boy saw it and pulled the balloon away. Sadly the balloon died.
The colours in the film were black, white, grey, green, blue and red.
The sounds were footsteps, air, water, talking and horses.
I would recommend this film to all my friends because it was very funny.
