A unicycle dreams.

The relfective water and rain really shows us something that was not yet commonplace. Like other of the early Pixar shorts, this has some impressive animation that pushed the boundaries, and is otherwise not all that interesting. It's slow, repetitive and not especially funny. The cartoon physics gag especially is weak - Looney Tunes had done substantially better decades earlier.

Basically the titular Red imagines that a Pennywise level creepy clown would use him as part of his juggling act. Three and a half minutes. It's on Disney+, at no extra charge after the subscription fee.

I recommend this only to completists. 6/10.
