Synopsis

While hiking in the mountains, Albert slips and falls off a cliff. Fortunately, the Cloud Children rescue him with magic words, allowing him to float among the clouds. Albert enjoys thrilling adventures—jumping off clouds, making thunderous noises, swimming in the rain, painting rainbows, and walking on aircraft trails. Eventually, he misses home, and the Cloud Queen arranges for his gentle return, but not before a grand feast with the Man in the Moon.
