Red’s Dream is a 1987 Pixar animated short film directed by John Lasseter. The film follows the story of a unicycle named Red, which is stuck in a bike shop, surrounded by flashy modern bikes. Red daydreams of being a star of the circus, but his current state is one of loneliness and neglect.
As the rain pours outside, the circus comes alive in Red’s imagination, with him performing daring stunts under the spotlight. However, the dream fades and reality sets in, and Red wakes up back in the shop all by himself.
The film captures the desire for escapism from bleak reality, which further personifies the unicycle. The film simultaneously also urges people to have beautiful dreams and to never succumb to the despair of the current scenario.
