Plot: An anthology of various tales told in various styles with robots being the one common element among them.
Nifty anime anthology from the maker of "Akira" Katsuhiro Otomo is anime's answer to "Heavy Metal" and "Fantasia". It's a very imaginative collection of stories with robots as the theme.
Like Walt Disney's Fantasia, this was a pretty bold project. And like Fantasia, it seems that people just didn't get it. Rarely do I see anyone in the fandom these days that has seen this and loved it, most have never seen it, and the ones who have just don't get it. There isn't much to get, it really wasn't that hard to understand, its just Art plain and simple. The idea behind it was this:
9 of Japan's leading animators were asked to create a short segment that followed the theme of "Robots," for their inclusion in this film. Essentially, this "movie" is 9 short films, all independant of one another. The common element is human interaction with robots, namely the consequences of creating life with one's own hands, played in nine very different ways.
Is it really that hard to understand? Anyway, its a beautifully made film with something for everyone IMO, serious moments, comedy, strange moments, scary moments, and poignant moments. I really love this film, I just wish it would get another R1 release.
Robot Carnival is an anthology of shorts all focusing on robots. Its groundbreaking animation and innovative storytelling is reminiscent of Fantasia, and got me forever hooked on the art of Japanese anime.
