Trivia
In Iran, films depicting children are the most likely to avoid censorship or political controversy, and The White Balloon was screened exclusively in theaters that specialized in children's films. Because of this the film had low attendance on its initial run in Iranian theaters, with only 130,000 tickets sold.
