Tessa LOOOOOVES it. She is glued the whole time that this little boy is chasing his magical red balloon around Paris and she shouts at the tv 'oh no!', 'find it'...'the balloon!!!' The first time we watched it she actually cried, yes real tears, when the boy lost his balloon.
Just a few days ago she started handing out invisible balloons to us and likes to pretend like it's flying away and she's trying to catch it.
If you're like me and have never heard of it, here's a little info: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048980/ The cool thing is that it's only 30 min, so it's a nice little snippet of tv time for Tessa. Who knew?

I LOVE that movie! I remeber watching it as a little kid to. I agree with Jeremy, an absolute classic.
oh my god I love this movie - it's been years since I've seen it... Good call Jeremy - I can totally get why tessa loves this movie!
Dear Laura:
You won't believe this, but this is also one of my favorite movies. I think I first saw it when I was about 8-9 years old, around 1960. It was my first exposure to an avante gard film and I thought it was wonderful. I'm so glad Tessa enjoys it!
Love,
Dad
