Well, I bought a uni and figured life couldn’t get much weirder. I was wrong. I
found the Unicycling web site, browsed about some, then downloaded th “Red’s
Nightmare” animation.
Entertaining, yes. Fun, yes. Explain it to others, not a chance!
What is that thing anyway? Is this a parody of another short? Is there something
you need to know to understand this? Have I fallen on my head too many times?
(Slow learning curve – painfully slow.)
C’mon, have a little pity on the new guy and help me out some…
>What is that thing anyway? Is this a parody of another short?
Yes! It’s a bit of a spoof of “Red’s Dream,” a computer-animated short film done
many years ago by Pixar… the very same folks responsible for “Toy Story.”
“Red’s Dream” is about a unicycle that has been relegated to the bargain corner
of a bike store, and dreams of juggling in the circus. Very nicely done.
(disclaimer: I worship Pixar collectively as a god)
