Poor Billy.
Poor other kid.
Poor kids!!

This one is kind of boring and repetitive. I didn't find it as funny as some of Don Hertzfeldt's other films.

Note: never trust balloons.

A kind-of psychotic remake of the Red Balloon, but a lot less upsetting. And more boring.

Mind, the starting point for Quentin Dupieux's Rubber is right here...

Don Hertzfeldt's final student film is a darkly comic tale of a world where balloons terrorize children.

If you like seeing kids tortured by balloons, you'll love this. By now Don is getting a bit tedious for me.

A scathing and dark feature, an insane script with dark undertones of torture, loss of innocence and social oppression. A visionary work of art.

Repetitive, unfunny, and in poor taste. I've tried many times to extract meaning from this but it's fruitless. At least the comic timing is excellent.

The Good: The beginning is kind of funny.

The Bad: Gets tedious, repetitive, and quite sadistic.

The Bottom Line: Very, very, very disturbing. The antithesis of Albert Lamorisse's The Red Balloon.

That was quite disturbing...

Jei vil ha ein blååå balloooong!

The Birds, with balloons.

Don Hertzfeldt's final student film is a darkly comic tale of a world where balloons terrorize children.

Unlike 'Rejected', this short film by Don Hertzfeld gets very repetitive, isn't all that funny and its actually rather disturbing.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.
