Re: Red Balloon (Criterion Version) 3.00 plus shipping walmart.com
First, I kept thinking that if I were to buy cheap pills from Wal-Mart, i.e. below cost, I cost them money but I also rive independent pharmacies out of business. Well, in this case, I don't think I have any independent DVD retailer I can help, so the pure effect is that I MIGHT cost Wal-Mart money.
And therein lies my second issue: since this film was released quite some time ago, I suspect that the newer batches have much lower costs (since the fixed production costs have already been covered during the sale of earlier batches), and I don't see why not Wal-Mart could even make some money at the $3 price point. Well, not if I only buy one item and I pay with a credit card, that is. Although they're quite resourceful.

I remember seeing this in elementary school years ago. I am not sure what he is doing with the balloon in the UNCUT version, but it must be pretty risque

Ordered it along with the 12 Movie Collections of Savage Cinema and Big Screen Bombshells for $12.51 total. Can't resist the cheap grindhouse offerings.

This is so annoying. I tried ordering it on Monday evening when it was listed 'in stock'. By the time I logged in, it was already taken off the site entirely. I see others have been ordering it since, so I add it to my cart and it lists 'No longer available'. This thing has been out of stock/in stock/out of stock/in stock and back out of stock all in the span of 48 hours!
Keep it Wal-Mart.

If anyone is interested, Red Balloon/White Mane is available at bn.com for $10 (+shipping/tax). Cheaper if you use one of the 20% coupons in the bn thread.

Coupons are now disabled online, but they still work in-store. And going thru various links will add another 7-10% off online.

I just got a look at my copy and it really looks fantastic.. I first saw it in elementary school on a projector. And this new version really has wonderful colors. They must have used computers on the red balloon to make the red really pop. They really did a first class job on it as it is really beautiful.

^ Whatya know? It happened again.
I actually persisted and managed to get an order through this morning before it "sold out" once more - but with their system it will probably be available again before the night's out.

Glad I borrowed this from the Library before dropping the 3 bucks on it.. I didn't care for it at all and don't see what the fuss is over it.

Drats... it's out of stock again. Anyone know how many times they've been out of stock, only to get them back in?
