The black balloon

This is a must see DVD. I went threw all the emotions watching this movie.

Its about an Australian family that just move into a new neighbourhood. Mum, dad and two older boys. Mum is pregnant and one of the boys has autism.

I wonder if it's in NZ on DVD yet

I watched this recently, and strongly recommend getting a hold of the DVD to watch if you can.

I'm really glad I didn't go see this at the cinema as I spent large amounts of the movie in tears.

For me it was a window into what Annie's life will be like as a sibling of a child with autism. There is the downsides, but they are far outweighed by the positives. I think Annie is a luck girl to grow up with a sister who can show her the world from a whole new point of view.

haven't seen it.........where can i get it ?

So far it does not seem to be available on Amazon.com.

I watched it at my sister in laws place will find out where she got it from.

oh yes i had read about this a while back, but forgot about it since it wasn't released in my area. i am now on the waiting list for it on netflix
