[00:00:00]Oh, no. It's already 7:30 in the morning. We are late for our big trip today.

[00:00:07]7:30?

[00:00:10]Our flight to Costa Rica is at 10:00. We need to hurry right now.

[00:00:16]David, wake up the children quickly. We have so many things to pack.

[00:00:24]Mom, what time is it?

[00:00:28]Are we really going to the airport today?

[00:00:32]I am still sleepy.

[00:00:35]Can we sleep a little more before the trip?

[00:00:40]No, my dear. We cannot be late for the airplane.

[00:00:44]Let's start packing now.

[00:00:48]First, we need our passports and flight tickets.

[00:00:53]Where did I put them last night?

[00:00:56]They are on the table in the living room.

[00:00:59]I kept them ready yesterday.

[00:01:04]Mom, can I take my favorite doll with me on the airplane?

[00:01:12]And I want to take my toy cars and the little monkey toy, too.

[00:01:20]We need to pack clothes, swimsuits, [music] hats, and some snacks for the journey.

[00:01:28]Don't forget the chargers for our phones and the mosquito spray for Costa Rica.

[00:01:36]Anna, please put your books and coloring pencils in the small bag.

[00:01:44]Mom, I cannot find my red shoes. Where are they?

[00:01:49]I want to wear them.

[00:01:51]Look under the bed, Peter.

[00:01:54]We have to finish packing very fast.

[00:02:00]I have the passports, tickets, and important documents.

[00:02:04]Check everything once.

[00:02:08]I am so excited [music] to see the beaches, jungles, and volcanoes in Costa Rica.

[00:02:16]Yes, we will see many animals like monkeys, sloths, and [music] colorful birds.

[00:02:24]Will we see real airplanes at the airport?

[00:02:28]Can I watch them take off?

[00:02:32]Of course, you will see many big planes.

[00:02:35]Now, let's call a taxi quickly.

[00:02:40]Hello, we need a taxi to terminal 3 at the airport as soon as possible.

[00:02:48]The traffic looks very heavy today.

[00:02:51]I hope we reach on time.

[00:02:57]Mom, what will we see first when we reach Costa Rica?

[00:03:04]We will see green jungles, beautiful beaches, and tall volcanoes.

[00:03:13]Will there be monkeys in the trees? I really want to see them.

[00:03:18]We'll have to see, sweetie.

[00:03:20]Yes, and sloths, too.

[00:03:23]They move very slowly in the jungle.

[00:03:26]How slowly?

[00:03:29]Remember to use mosquito spray because there are many mosquitoes there.

[00:03:34]We will.

[00:03:36]I am a little nervous about my first airplane ride. Is it scary? It's an adventure, sweetheart. We'll be right there with you. It will be amazing, honey. It is fun. You will feel like you are flying in the sky like a bird. Wow.

[00:03:48]Okay, Dad. He's right, sweetie. It's amazing.

[00:03:52]Look, we can already see the airport building from far away. Isn't it big?

[00:04:00]Finally, we have reached the airport.

[00:04:03]Everyone take your own bags.

[00:04:08]Stay close to us, children.

[00:04:10]The airport is very big and crowded.

[00:04:16]Wow, there are so many people and so many big airplanes outside.

[00:04:24]Mom, look at that huge plane.

[00:04:27]Oh, wow, it's so big. I want to go on it.

[00:04:32]Now we need to go to the check-in counter for our flight.

[00:04:40]Good morning. We are flying to San Jose, Costa Rica today.

[00:04:45]Wonderful. Let me check you in.

[00:04:48]Hello. May I see your passports and tickets, please? Yes, here you go.

[00:04:56]Here are our passports and the flight tickets for four people.

[00:05:04]Your luggage is okay.

[00:05:06]Here are your boarding passes. Gate number 22. Thank you so much.

[00:05:12]Thank you very much.

[00:05:14]When does the boarding start?

[00:05:21]Now we have to go through security check. Follow me carefully.

[00:05:28]Why do we need to take off our shoes at security?

[00:05:34]Mhm?

[00:05:36]For safety.

[00:05:37]They check everything very carefully before the flight.

[00:05:44]Can I keep my toy car in my pocket during the check?

[00:05:52]No, Peter. Put all metal things and toys in the tray.

[00:06:00]Good job, everyone. We have passed the security check successfully.

[00:06:08]I am feeling hungry now.

[00:06:11]Can we buy some snacks?

[00:06:16]Yes. Let's get some coffee, sandwiches, and fries for everyone.

[00:06:23]Anna, you have a window seat. You can see the clouds from there.

[00:06:29]>> [laughter] >> Really?

[00:06:33]I want to see if the clouds look like cotton candy.

[00:06:40]>> [music] >> Wow, look at this place. The supermarket is so big today.

[00:06:48]Yes, it is huge. Ooh.

[00:06:51]There are many new things inside.

[00:06:53]>> Mhm.

[00:06:56]Mom, Dad, can we go inside now? Please.

[00:07:01]>> [laughter] >> Okay, children. Hold my hand. We will go inside together.

[00:07:12]Remember, stay close to us.

[00:07:20]Wow.

[00:07:21]This place is really huge. I can't wait to go inside more.

[00:07:27]Mhm, it smells so good in here.

[00:07:31]There is bread, fruits, and fresh cookies.

[00:07:36]Look at these lights.

[00:07:38]Everything is bright and clean.

[00:07:44]Yes, and the floors are shiny.

[00:07:46]But, be careful, okay?

[00:07:48]Mhm.

[00:07:52]It is red and shiny.

[00:07:54]>> Ah. They say it can clean the whole house in just one go.

[00:08:00]This dishwasher could save me a lot of time. [music] I could bake cookies every weekend without washing plates.

[00:08:07]>> [laughter] >> These plates are really pretty, too.

[00:08:12]Blue with white flowers. I like them.

[00:08:15]Huh.

[00:08:17]Anna, Tom, come here for a minute.

[00:08:24]>> [crying] >> Anna, Tom, come here for a minute.

[00:08:28]>> [laughter] >> And this phone, Cassian, the camera is really sharp. You can take clear pictures of everything. Ah.

[00:08:37]Anna, let's run over to that aisle.

[00:08:39]There are many toys there.

[00:08:44]Hey, wait for me, Anna.

[00:08:51]>> [screaming] >> Whoa.

[00:08:55]>> [gasps] >> Whoa.

[00:09:04]>> [snorts] >> Oh my gosh.

[00:09:09]Anna, are you okay?

[00:09:16]Yes, Mom. I am fine.

[00:09:20]But, the floor is slippery. I >> [music] >> You are not allowed to run in the supermarket. Slippery floors can be very dangerous.

[00:09:33]We're sorry, Mom.

[00:09:39]We won't run in the supermarket again.

[00:09:42]We promise.

[00:09:49]We're sorry, Mom.

[00:09:54]Good children.

[00:09:56]Always walk slowly and hold hands if needed.

[00:10:03]Wow! That toy airplane looks so cool. It is red and blue with big wings.

[00:10:11]They are so high on the shelf. I almost got it.

[00:10:19]Maybe I can climb a little bit.

[00:10:21]>> [music] >> Just a little.

[00:10:27]Hey, buddy. Stop right there.

[00:10:36]You should not climb on the shelf, buddy. Shelves can fall at any time.

[00:10:43]You should always ask an adult for help.

[00:10:46]I can get it for you.

[00:10:50]The I'm so sorry, Dad. I was excited.

[00:10:59]It's okay. Here is the toy airplane.

[00:11:02]But next time, ask first. Safety is important. Important.

[00:11:10]Mom, the apples look really fresh and red.

[00:11:14]Important.

[00:11:18]Mom, the apples look really fresh and red.

[00:11:24]Yes, they are fresh from the farm.

[00:11:27]We can buy some for home.

[00:11:30]Happy birthday, my sweet Lily. We have a very special surprise for [music] you today.

[00:11:38]Look at this beautiful big red balloon.

[00:11:42]It is shining so brightly in the sunlight.

[00:11:46]Oh my goodness. It is the most beautiful balloon I have ever seen in my whole life.

[00:11:54]Hold the string very tightly and never let it go because balloons can fly away very easily.

[00:12:02]This balloon is not ordinary. It feels like it has some magic inside it.

[00:12:10]I promise [music] I will never let go of it. It is my favorite birthday gift ever.

[00:12:18]Today, we are going to the big park for a lovely picnic with all your friends.

[00:12:24]>> [laughter] >> Yes!

[00:12:27]I cannot wait to show my new red balloon to everyone at the park.

[00:12:34]Remember to be careful because the wind can be strong sometimes.

[00:12:42]Do not worry, Dad. I will take very good care of my magic red balloon.

[00:12:50]Wow, Lily. Your red balloon is so huge and shining. It looks really magical.

[00:12:58]Thank you so much.

[00:13:00]I think it is a special balloon that can take me on adventures.

[00:13:06]Can I [music] please hold the string for just 1 minute?

[00:13:10]I want to feel how light it is.

[00:13:14]Okay, but only for a short time. Please hold it very carefully for me.

[00:13:22]It feels so light and it is pulling upwards.

[00:13:26]Look, it really wants to fly high.

[00:13:30]Give it back to me now.

[00:13:33]The wind is becoming stronger and stronger.

[00:13:38]Children, come here quickly. It is time to [music] cut the birthday cake and enjoy the picnic.

[00:13:46]Just give me one more minute, Mom. I want to play a little more with my balloon.

[00:13:54]Lily, hold the string properly with both hands so it does not fly away.

[00:14:02]Oh, no. The wind is so strong. My balloon is slipping from my hand.

[00:14:10]My beautiful red balloon, please come back to me right now.

[00:14:19]Lily, stop. [music] It is dangerous to run after it in the park.

[00:14:25]>> [crying] >> It is going too high in the sky.

[00:14:29]We cannot catch it anymore, my dear.

[00:14:34]No, that was my most special balloon.

[00:14:38]I cannot lose it like this.

[00:14:42]I am really sorry, Lily.

[00:14:45]It was my fault for asking to hold it.

[00:14:48]>> [snorts] >> Why did I let the string go?

[00:14:54]>> [snorts] >> I feel so sad and empty inside now.

[00:14:58]I should have listened to Mom and Dad and held it more tightly.

[00:15:06]Do not cry, my sweetheart. [music] We can buy you another balloon tomorrow.

[00:15:14]But this one was different.

[00:15:17]It felt [snorts] alive and full of magic.

[00:15:22]>> [snorts] >> Let us enjoy the party now and try to forget about the balloon.

[00:15:30]I cannot just sit here. I have to follow my red balloon and bring it back.

[00:15:38]Wait for me, my magic red balloon.

[00:15:42]I am coming to [music] find you.

[00:15:46]Lily, come back here right now. It is not safe to go alone.

[00:15:54]I am sorry, Mom, but I have to go. I cannot let my dream fly away forever.

[00:16:02]Where are you taking me, Mr. Balloon?

[00:16:05]The park is so far behind now.

[00:16:10]Follow me bravely, Lily.

[00:16:13]I will show you many wonderful things.

[00:16:18]You can actually talk?

[00:16:21]This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen.

[00:16:26]I am feeling a little scared now because I am so far from home.

[00:16:34]Do not be afraid, little one. Keep believing in yourself and hold my string in your heart.

[00:16:42]Look at this.

[00:16:44]I can see a beautiful glowing forest down below us.

[00:16:50]Hello, brave girl.

[00:16:52]Why are you flying so high with a red balloon?

[00:16:58]My balloon flew away and I am following it to get it back.

[00:17:06]Be very careful in this forest. It has many hidden secrets and surprises.

[00:17:14]Everything here is glowing and shining.

[00:17:17]It looks like a real dream world.

[00:17:22]Welcome, courageous child.

[00:17:26]Tell me what your heart is searching for.

[00:17:30]I just wanted my balloon back, but now I want to see all the magic around me.

[00:17:38]This balloon only shows the way to children who never give up easily.

[00:17:46]I will never give up. I promise I [music] will keep trying until I find it.

[00:17:54]Come with me, Lily. There is a sparkling river of stars ahead.

[00:18:02]This place is more beautiful than anything I have ever imagined before.

[00:18:10]The balloon is going even higher now.

[00:18:13]I am not sure if I can reach it.

[00:18:19]You must believe in yourself strongly, Lily.

[00:18:22]That is the real magic.

[00:18:26]I am getting very tired.

[00:18:30]Maybe I should turn back and go home now.

[00:18:34]Never stop following the things you love with all your heart.

[00:18:42]You are right.

[00:18:44]I will keep going no matter how difficult it becomes.

[00:18:50]Look up there.

[00:18:51]A magnificent castle made of soft white clouds.

[00:18:58]Who is this brave little girl entering my sky kingdom?

[00:19:06]It is me, Lily.

[00:19:08]My magic red balloon brought me all the way here.

[00:19:14]Only kind and very brave children are allowed to visit this special place.

[00:19:22]I tried my best to be brave today even when I was scared.

[00:19:30]You have learned a very big and important lesson on this journey.

[00:19:38]What lesson have I learned, Mr. Cloud King?

[00:19:46]Never let go of the things you love.

[00:19:49]But if you do, never stop trying to get them back with courage.

[00:19:55]Yes, I understand it clearly now in my heart.

[00:20:02]It is time for us to go back home, Lily.

[00:20:06]Your family is waiting.

[00:20:10]Thank you so much for this wonderful adventure, my magic red balloon.

[00:20:18]I can see my park and my family again from high up in the sky.

[00:20:26]Lily!

[00:20:28]Where have you been?

[00:20:30]We were so worried and scared for you.

[00:20:34]I am really sorry, Mom, but I had an amazing magic adventure.

[00:20:42]Are you safe [music] and okay, my brave girl?

[00:20:47]Tell us everything.
