Billy's Balloon Inspired by Zack_Replica's link to so much (Canadian) animation goodness, I thought I'd share one of my favorite animated shorts ever. The subtle animated expressions, and the impeccable sense of comic timing, are brilliant in this.

Ah, The Red Balloon finally gets its revenge...

That was great, by the way!

Oh yeah... Billy's Balloon is by Don Hertzfeldt.

And you're right LeeJay.. this is definitely The Red Balloon II: Killer Balloons

What a coinkidink. While looking for something else today, I found this profile of Hertzfeldt.

I was one of the first 700 to order his DVD so I'll get a special prize. I love the Hertzfeldt. He was nominated for an academy award for his film Rejected.
