    Slow to start but enjoyable 'friends' movie

    This Cartoon starts slowly but then develops into an enjoyable (but somewhat predictable) tale of robots risking everything for a friend. The basic premise is that two mortal enemies awaken chained together centuries after the war to end all wars and have no memory of who they are. They spend ages trying to break the chain that binds them (physically, not metaphorically) and find, eventually, after the odd argument or two, that they actually like each other. Of course, an ancient computerised system wants to complete its mission to end the final conflict and the two friends have to find out whether they must obey their programming or help an enemy now turned friend. Some nice characterisation, but ruined somewhat by actors wholly unable to pronounce the letter "T". The words are DuTy not doody, BaTTle not baddle and WhiTey not widey - that was perhaps the most annoying element in the whole film!!

    I found it

    After like 12 years of searching I finally found this movie. When I was a child my mom got this film for me, and I watched it everyday. But for the last 12 years the movie has been sitting in small clips in my mind. I can only remember this one robot screaming TUSACON or something like that. And that one part where the big Robot eats those metal balls like throat soothers. But now that I've found this movie, I can finally remove it from my mind. The movie is like a fever dream, but the movie is on fire, and you are on fire, and everything is on fire. I hate this movie. If I could give 1- stars I would.

    • Trivia
      There are various pop-cultural references that can be implied from the fake billboard ads in the movie.
    • Crazy credits
      The Lionsgate/Grindstone dub re-uses the credits from the original English dub as well as utilizing their own credits.
    • Alternate versions
      The Lionsgate/Grindstone English dub makes several alterations to the film, such as adding tons of additional background chatter, pop culture references, and a few pop songs which weren't present in the original. The dub also features changes to the story, character names, character personalities, and even some of the character genders, with Hanuman and Sadayu (renamed Pinky and Flapper, respectively) having their genders switched.
