4.0 out of 5 stars FOR CHILDREN OF ALL AGES, July 16, 2001

This review is from: Balloon Farm [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am 67 years old, so I guess that I am a child at heart. The cast was uniformally wonderful. I am a big fan of Mara Wilson, and all of the cast performed equally well. The movie is a fantasy, with it's basic moral that faith can do miracles. While, unfortunately this is not always true, in this movie it certainly provides a feel good ending. So, please, lose your disbelief and enjoy this movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Balloon Farm, a charming story, July 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Balloon Farm [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Like many fantasy stories, you have to have a suspension of disbelief to enjoy it. I thought the cast did a good job. Perhaps other reviewers shouldn't have watched it many times if they didn't like it the first time. I have watched it many times and still enjoy it. I enjoy most Disney films and am a fan of Mara Wilson.

I thought the concept was well executed. I didn't expect that the balloons' contents would be what they were. I thought all of the characters gave fine performances, that includes the balloons as well.

If you have never believed in magic or can't enjoy a fantasy, this is not the movie for you. If you can you will be thoroughly entertained.

This review is from: Balloon Farm (DVD)

"Balloon Farm", based on the Jerdine Nolen children's book of the same title, takes you and your family on a ride to a drought-ravaged town. A strange visitor (Harvey Potter) tries to boost the morales of the repressed townspeople by turning a simple seed of corn into a crop of colorful balloons. With an all-star cast including Rip Torn, Mara Wilson, and Laurie Metcalf, this movie is a sure winner with kids and their families alike!
