This was a nice kids' cartoon but one in which adults should find enough entertainment to watch along with the toddlers. It's old, and it looks it, but it's original. As one who has seen hundreds of cartoon, I appreciated the originality of the story.
All the creatures here are balloons, and we see some of them "birthed," which is fun. One of them is a young boy and his sister and the kid is brash. He's already heard about the "Pin Cushion Man" of the forest who goes around the pops everyone, meaning kills the balloon people. He's not afraid....until he comes face-to-face with this sadistic guy.
Later, when the Mr. Pin Cushion, who is an interesting-looking creature, sneaks into Balloon City, the alarm is sounded and the latter's army goes into full force. The alarm, the battle and other scenes are all pretty clever and should keep everyone's attention whether one is three or 83. It's a deceptively good cartoon by UB Iwerks.
