A Burton-created backstory distributed by Macy's says the balloon boy was "stitched together from rejects of old birthday party balloons." The parties were thrown for children at a London hospital. But B. wasn't allowed to join in the fun. Instead he watched the French short film "The Red Balloon" repeatedly.
B.'s only dream was to fly and make a child happy -- just like in that movie.
Now B. will get his chance at November's parade through Manhattan.....Enjoy!!
Awesome!!!
