Le Ballon - Neatorama

[YouTube - Link]

Have you ever wondered what happened to that balloon (or le ballon) that slipped out of your hands when you were just a wee lad or lass? This video may explain it all to you.

When I was a kid the very first (and last) balloon I ever got slipped out of my hand. It was an elephant. I cried the whole day. Not a spoiled brat type of cry, but true, sincere sadness. I kept wondering what would happen to it, when will it stop going higher and higher, will it be lonesome. If not for that event, I wouldn't have looked twice at that video. Now, it almost brought me to tears.

Bad physics ruins it!

I remain unimpressed with the French space program.

I liked it up until it reached space.
Then flaws against physics kind of kept popping into my head. haha.

Bad physics does ruin it. It would be much nicer the balloon burst and the ghost of the balloon hits the ceiling at the edge of the universe. (You know, since we still can't prove ghosts.)

Oh come on. Everyone knows balloons float in space. Have you ever NOT seen a balloon float in space? I rest my case.

Boy was this thing well storyboarded. That thing with the astronaut's helmet was wonderful.

I've always told my daughter that her lost Trader Joe's balloons go to the moon. It hasn't backfired on me yet, but that's probably a matter of time.

And the wind from meteors wouldn't be as depicted, if any.

Loved the ending. I'm surprised nobody's commented on the fact that there probably isn't a big ceiling on top of the universe - physics, you know.

The astronaut's helmet part was the best.
