Episode 3 · Robot Carnival

Robot Carnival

Nine famous animators got one assignment: make a short about robots. No rules, no shared story. What came back is a whole carnival of metal and nerves. A girl watches a rusted giant stomp through her town. Mechanical angels drift past ruined cities. In one segment, a wooden robot nearly starts a war. Somewhere else, a man builds a companion and gets way more than he asked for. Frankenstein's monster shows up too, but not how you remember him. Every short starts from the same spot: a human making something that lives. Some of them laugh about it. Some don't. The thing they built always ends up staring back. And what happens when the machines your own hands made stop needing you?
