Dream Flight (Vol De Rêve) is a 3-D computer-animated fiction film completely produced by computer. The film was produced in 1982 at the University of Montreal and directed by Philippe Bergeron, Nadia Magnenat Thalmann and Daniel Thalmann.

It is the story of a creature living on another planet and dreaming that he flies across space like a bird and arrives on Earth. Typical scenes are set in Paris and New York. Others show natural scenes such as ocean, trees, or birds.

The film was completely programmed using the MIRA graphical language, an extension of the Pascal programming language based on Abstract Graphical Data Types.
