- Synopsis
- Le Ballon Bleu (The Blue Balloon) is both a prequel and a continuation to the 1956 classic French film Le Ballon Rouge (The Red Balloon). When a girl with a blue balloon crosses paths with a boy and his red balloon, it's clear a greater magical force is at play in the streets of Paris. Like the film it celebrates, this is a story about the magic of childhood and the importance of friendship. The film showcases many of the same Parisian locations as the 1956 classic to connect the two stories visually, and the filmmakers designed the film so that it could be intercut seamlessly with the original.
