2 Episodes

The everyday world becomes a playground of enchantment in these charming childhood classics from Albert Lamorisse. One of the most internationally beloved films of all time, THE RED BALLOON tells the transportive tale of a young boy whose grey Parisian world is enlivened when he finds an unexpected playmate in a bright red balloon. Another boy discovers a world of freedom and adventure through his relationship with an untamed stallion in WHITE MANE, a deceptively simple fable shot in gorgeously poetic black and white.
