Balloon Guy (1987) - Chris Wedge

Another of Chris Wedge’s early Ohio State University short films. Once again he bucks the then-dominant trend of rigid, mechanical shapes and motion with these extremely flexible characters and classic animation techniques. Wedge would later go on to co-found Blue Sky Studios, best known for the “Robots“ and “Ice Age“ feature films (also providing the voice of “Scrat“ in the latter).
