Robot Carnival - S01

TV10m

Nine of Japan’s top animators were invited to create short segments exploring the theme of "Robots," which were compiled into this film. Rather than a single narrative, the movie consists of nine standalone stories, each with its own take on human interaction with robots-specifically, the consequences of creating artificial life. The segments approach this idea in vastly different styles. 1: Opening (Atsuko Fukushima and Katsuhiro Otomo) 2: Franken’s Gears (Koji Morimoto) 3: Deprive (Hidetoshi Omori) 4: Presence (Yasuomi Umetsu) 5: Star Light Angel (Hiroyuki Kitazume) 6: Cloud (Mao Lamdo) 7: A Tale of Two Robots (Hiroyuki Kitakubo) 8: Nightmare (Takashi Nakamura) 9: Ending (Atsuko Fukushima and Katsuhiro Otomo)
