One World for Families

Don't Blow It Up

(Odpusť)

Two little girls are playing together with a balloon. After a small disagreement, the friends get angry at each other. Eventually their anger swells so much they become floating balloons themselves.

This animated film tells the story of two friends who, as balloons, float high into the clouds and must figure out how to get back down to Earth. But how can they do it when they’re not talking and still upset with each other? As they drift through the sky, they meet other quarrelsome human balloons who can’t get down either. Yet their anger melts away when they decide to work together to rescue a kitten stuck in a tree.
