12	DAR Tue 4/8/2008 9:11a	I've never seen or heard of The Red Balloon. I've heard of The Red Shoes but never saw that. There was a short film in grade school I remember seeing called The Boy Who Liked Deer. I remember that even at 8 years old I thought it was terrible.

Interestingly, there's a CURRENT movie, also French (but made by a Chinese director), with Juliette Binoche that was inspired by this film, called "The Flight of the Red Balloon." http://www.rottentomatoes.com/...balloon/

15	jdub Tue 4/8/2008 4:08p	Oh, and another classic from elementary school--Jiminy Cricket's "I'm No Fool" series!

18	Dabob2 Wed 4/9/2008 7:29a	Yesiree! I could watch them at a-hundred-and-three!
19	mawnck Wed 4/9/2008 8:59a	I remember that the Disney films were always so full of tears and splices that you couldn't follow the first couple minutes at all. The Coronet films, not so much.

Loved that high-tech clicker for the teacher's use. Ahhhhhhh... The good old days! With school district budgets cuts running amuck these days, I wonder how much crud the teachers have to deal with from kids who have MUCH better a/v equipment at home...
