22 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story is centered around a robot head in a junkyard seeking a body, described as both cute and touching, though opinions on its execution vary widely. Some reviewers found it engaging and well-told, while others criticized it for being vague, overly simplistic, or lacking depth, often comparing it unfavorably to more developed narratives like "Wall-E." Overall, the story is seen as a mixed bag, with some appreciating its charm and others feeling it falls short of delivering a coherent or satisfying experience.
“Was a short and touching story.”
“Rating 6/10 a story about a severed robot in a junkyard finding redemption ... that's gold, Jerry!”
“I found the storyline quite engaging and well told.”
“Unfortunately, a passive experience lives and dies on the contents of the story, and it is impossible to not compare this to Wall-E, a bar that this animation is in no way capable of living up to.”
“As for the story itself, it is either too vague, and I am missing it entirely, or it is so oversimplified as to not even be recognizable as a story.”
“For some reason, I just couldn't follow the story; I still don't really know what it was all about or what happened.”
