Red is the first episode of the first series of Colourblocks. It is the first episode overall.
Synopsis[]
An excitable Red arrives in Colourland. Learn about the colour red with the Colourblocks.
Plot[]
A pointy, faceless red block falls from the sky, bouncing on its point. The block, Red, then spouts limbs and a face, and states she is excited to be here. But she doesn't know where "here" is, or who she is. After looking at her red hands, she figures out that she's Red.
Red looks around Colourland, though as of now it's colourless and uninteresting to her. Red then finds a still, colourless crab, which she greets and taps. Suddenly, the crab turns red and comes to life. Red gets excited that she can turn things red, and runs around to find more things to colour. Red then sings a song about things that are red.
