Famous Balloon Movies

I wanted to post a whole bunch of videos but then the post will fill up the front page of Neatorama. So, I decided to pick my favorite instead: ‘Floating in the Rain’:

You’ll laugh for sure. The project is described as follows:

An independent director (who asked to remain nameless, but often works for Disney), did these sequences a few years ago for an overseas theme park project. The show was an homage to classic movies, tied together by a running gag of a stray balloon that gets loose. The director added the balloon using After Effects and did an amazing job matching each film’s cinematic style. The balloon subplot was eliminated from the project, but the director has now posted a bunch of his test clips on YouTube.

Those balloons are seamlessly introduced into the movie. Here’s a full list of chapters as links to Youtube videos:
