The Remarkable Riderless Runaway Tricycle (1982)

When a tricycle is accidentally taken away by trash collectors, it grows to great lengths to reunite with its little boy.
This short is one of What Could Go Wrong's Favorites!

They used to show this to us (among other films) at the overnights at YMCA day camp. I laughed my butt off the first time I saw it. Then I saw it on Calliope shortly afterward. Good times! 😆

Manic-depressive music. Strange. Carefree. Sad. A full range of musical emotions.

We showed this short film during "Library Class" to EVERY kid in the school I used to volunteer at in 1982 when it was first released . . all classes, K through 6th Grade saw it and most of the kids had the same reaction - near the end, when the tricycle FLYS over the police car, almost ALL of the kids said, "NO . . Tricycles can't FLY" !!! ( they were all thinking it was okay for it to ride around on it's own, turn it's handlebars to look behind itself, but NOT fly )
