If You Love Balloons and Movies

Though environmentalists would hate the idea of balloons wafting about the landscape, I don't think they'd mind them digitally dropped into our favorite movies.  Take a few minutes to watch.  It's a lovely idea (what a sap I am!).  The balloon punctuates emotional moments in Casablanca, dances with Gene Kelly in Singing in the Rain, annoys King Kong, saves the life of Anne Parillaud in La Femme Nikita and meets Clint Eastwood at high noon.  Kudos to Jerry Rees, a director and Cal Arts grad, for creating Helium and Celluloid
