Three Robots: Exit Strategies

It's not a spectacular firework but it concludes the first "three Robots" episode quite well. It's at the same level as the first one was but with they pokeda some more of humanities problems nowadays.

The animation is good, as always. But the message is preachy and unoriginal.

The joke might have been funny 5 to 10 years ago but by now they are quite overdone.

Fair message, though.

A bit of a low-key first episode, but these robots have been in every single season so far so I was very happy to see them again. Truth be told, they tell the truth about what could happen to humanity if we do not change our ways.

Ok, come on reviewers! A lot of people are being pretty critical of this one, but they're failing to remember one thing: it's just a short! In this format, the "one-the-nose", hyperbolic and over-the-top storytelling here is perfect. The timing of the humor here, tied with the master-class level of timing in the animation itself is absolute perfection. Are they sending a message here? Absolutely. Are they making fun of all sides of the "spectrum"? Oh heck yeah. Lighten up a bit and enjoy this for what it is. At this point I'm just typing additional characters to make up for the minimum character limit. Oh, there we go! All done. Go check it out!

The first Three Robots script was funny with a bit of politics, this one is politics with a bit of funny. The boot-licking message of the first act was just out of place with the anti-government message of the third act.

I would love a whole series of Three Robots, if this studio would just lean into the "R-rated Wall-E" theme, and give up on trying to pass their short films as insightful.
