Film Review – The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure

“The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure” is the brainchild of Kenn
Viselman, a marketing wizard behind “The Teletubbies” and “Thomas the
Tank Engine” who decided to strike out on his own, overseeing a family
film geared toward the short attention spans of pre-schoolers. Billed as
“interactive,” “Big Balloon Adventure” encourages young viewers to
twist and shout in front of on-screen characters, getting into the
spirit of this lackluster musical blasted with puppetry and nuclear

isn’t worth punishing multiplex pricing, delivering small-scale thrills
on a limited budget. It’s definitely a rental, offering parents a chance
to escape while wee ones bop around for 85 minutes. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
