Would you have heard of Hello Kitty? She is a Japanese Anime character with the neutral expression that many kids around the world adore.

We loved how he chose to use hundreds of smaller balloons instead of a couple of bit ones, it makes the whole visual effect look like something out of a kids dream. The colours are also absolutely awesome.
Jonathan must be a huge balloon enthusiast as this is not the first time he has attempted something like this. Last in in 2012 he flew a model of a house that was in the hit cartoon "Up," by Disney.
On the 12th of September this year he made an attempt to fly across the
A few weeks ago in Sydney Martin Place on the 7th, of September the Taronga Zoo held a public awareness day for endangered animals.
