Pic Description: I don't know if any of you have seen this short movie, or even heard of it, but when I was a kid they used to show it in school whenever it was raining to hard for us to go outside for recess. I just have found memories of this movie :)

I remember those rainy days when I was a child... Sigh...

It was the time for movies like "nigth of the living deads" "the exorcist" and so on ...

boy what a childhood...that explains...ahh, that is nice tormentor

So nobody's heard of the movie "The Red Balloon"? It was made in 1956 and I think they must have shown it at least a dozen times during my elementary school years.

I do remember it, GP, but it was so long ago that my recollections are very vague and I can offer no comparisons.

As a stand alone image, I like this in it's own right.

The late French filmmaker Albert Lamorisse made this classic, 1956 short work about a lonely little Parisian boy (Pascal Lamorisse) befriended by a large red balloon, which seems to have a will of its own. As with his preceding short, 1952's White Mane, Lamorisse took home a grand prize from the Cannes Film Festival for The Red Balloon, and the latter film also won an Academy Award. There have been some stimulating pieces of film criticism (some pro, some con) written about the aesthetics of this little movie over the years, but there's no question it makes for a touching, allegorical piece always certain to prompt conversations among viewers of any age. --Tom Keogh
Just in case anyone's interested in this movie

I remember a movie with a doll which seems to have a will of its own.... And a big knife...

I remember the Red Balloon.

Forgot it until I came her though.

(Tormie, shopping trolleys have a will of their own too, luckily no knife).

I've found that to do well with any figure you really need to have a passion for that figure,

...and I hope you develop that passion for yours.
