* SpiritualSuccessor: To Lamorisse's own ''Film/WhiteMane''. Both feature young boys who feel isolated from the world around them, and form a deep friendship with a non-human character. Both protagonists are persecuted by those around them as a result, and both end up being borne away to a place where they can't be followed (the sky or the sea.)
* TheWoobie: Pascal, who seems neglected at home and regularly bullied at school. The balloon is his only friend, and then he has to watch as said bullies destroy it in front of him.
