Bad Robot Looks Happy, Must Be Evil
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 9 of October , 2009 at 1:19 am
This is some test footage of a Bad Robot, called Bad Robot, from Bad Robot (the short film). It was directed by Ruairi Robinson, who’s also working on Akira, and is currently in post-prodution. Nobody seems to be sure whether Bad Robot is a sci-fi comedy or sci-fi horror, but I do know one thing: Bad Robot is Evil. How can I tell it’s evil? Two things: the smile accompanied by the beady red eyes, and the fact that it’s dancing to Shirley Temple, who as you can plainly see, heralds directly from the dark side:
See? It’s not the unnatural cuteness or the song about animal abuse that scares me… It’s the fact that she takes a spoon with her at the end. A spoon. The horror, the horror!
Oh, and there’s also this poster:
“Soon every home will have a robot helper. Don’t worry, your kids are perfectly safe.”
Now do you believe me? Look for this in 2010.
