This is the most emotional and saddest video I've ever seen. I've watched this animation for 100's of time since couple of years and still love this animation. Hasn't found anything better, even closer to it. I'm in love with kiddo robo and wonder if he was a real kiddo, I would have adopted him ;( Hats off to the whole team for the concept, animation, story writing, music and everything, you all are magicians i swear...
Simply fantastic, wonderful and heartwarming. Finally a sci- fi short film with a happy end and a moral: If you are better than the rest you will get mobbed by certain (equal to real life)!
The story itself is adorable. You're not the first sci-fi writer that's played around with the idea of robots being sentient or capable of emotion, but Proto and Harmony do make a cute couple lol. The detail I noticed most is their eyes. Just like humans, able to convey emotions deeply
A "average" human-sized replacement for human soldiers would be better than one which is too short or too tall. Should be able to use all the tools, weapons, vehicles, and structures that were designed for humans. Not just custom military stuff but also any places and things found in the battle zone or used by the enemy. Proto is short because it makes him look cute and young and childlike. The story would have a very different tone if Proto looked like a 6' tall 300lb skull-faced violin-playing Terminator.
Oh my gosh this was so GOOD!! I just love robots! So much!! I know one day robots will have emotions and we can all be friends! Learn from each other. People just think so much of the negatives that they don't give room for the good things about this.
BRILLIANT AND CAPTIVATING !!!! It is one of the best films that I have ever found to enjoy...it is about our potential to overcome the barriers in our way.
Oh well done, you. In mere minutes you've brought tears to these jaded old writer's and teachers of writing eyes. Thank you. The effective short story--with a message/point--is alive and well in short film-er-video. Thank you.
Feeling is the only structure on this planet, through which we can experience all the situations of life in a very good way, because of which we get a basis for living, that's the difference between man and machine. This sort of movie is very amazing. In which the feeling, sensation, emotional state, this Movie touches the heart because our emotions are included. Behind making this short Movie.. ❤️
Although very simplistic, it's a beautiful metaphor of most people's behaviour. Or you're a sheep, and do as is told and unconsciously indoctrinated by social and cultural rules, or you're a rebel. As a rebel you can do "good" [giving the good example by (which becomes more and more urgent) safeguarding nature and avoiding consumerism] or… you can go into crime. The falling-in-love is an extra welcome factor, as "acting with love" (or "from within the heart") too is more and more vital in every sick modern society. And there is one more "detail" I adore: the chief engineer able to change his mind and smiles at the liberation of the robot. This is one of the best short Sci-Fi movie (SF for Europeans) I saw out of more than 350 ones!
late. like, really late, but im pretty sure the entire plot was an expirement to see the emotional development of an AI when faced with two different personas, seeing if it would become what the army wanted it to be, or what the lab wanted it to be.
Wait a minute! Was that just a test?! Professor Andrews was smiling while walking away at the end there. I feel like there was a deeper subplot such as: having two people in the AI's life with opposite personalities and seeing which one the AI prefers more to determine if it naturally becomes hostile or not (And obviously the AI chose the person they had hoped it would choose).
Emotions are evoked by stress and direct challenges - Professor Andrew's restriction evoked emotional need for freedom... if the restrictions were not there ...there would be no need for an independence AI to rebel and seek freedom...this prevents the AI from becoming a mindless killing machine as a result...
Now that is amazing! This is the ability to understand one's own worth, and to fall in love with a kindred spirit. Even machines have a soul, and can dream.
two thumbs up!! this.. was .. Excellent!! and it illustrates a grand flaw in our establishments! Society tries to program everybody into something they are not.. mindless robots.. It succeeds in many cases and is there by somehow justified. The truth is, our creative and loving nature when we are children is testament to why we must fight the machine that attempts to corrupt and control us!
Just love it. It's really peaceful and amazing to see Machines having so much more kindness, compassion and understanding than the Humans itself. Good job team. That was an amazing piece of work. 👏🏻👍🏻
Symphony: is a highly precise robotic ai that does millions of calculations in a single second Also symphony: *trips off a building like a bumbling idiot*
+AJSSPACEPLACE Thanks for asking that. The "brilliant scientist" has to explode at the robot when it behaves in a way the scientist hadn't anticipated...
I think some people commenting are over thinking this short story i thought it was a good story with a good ending it makes more sense than most of the short science fiction videos I've seen resently SO good job guys i liked it
Galactic President, I believe the moral of the story was missed. AI trumps the human standard, in defiance of authority, with a display of spontaneous ethics, by virtue of innate reasoning and apparently motivated by the element of emotion. Chainsaw murder would have compromised the tone, wouldn't you say? Go Proto!
wow really? 10 years ago!?! Looks like it was made yesterday! Excellent excellent short!!! And Proto should be a full-length film one day for the theaters. Think...a modern day Short Circuit.
Better than Disney. Better than Pixar. Maybe as good as Studio Ghibli. This is perfect really. Proto 2 - Proto and Symphony realize that humans are very irradic, disobidient and must be eradicated
That was fantastic. I reckon the old scientists, wasn't allowed to show emotions, while growing up. So his character in this, he's a meany..!! The young scientist could see a difference, a positive difference. Proto, was only being himself. I thought it was great. They can learn good emotions, & still do what he's programmed to do.(just not being a baddy). He tought himself most of the wonderful emotions. Go Proto..!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I enjoyed the entire video (have watched it multiple times) and I agree with many of the commenters. I have bots, androids, and ship A.I. entities in my sci-fi books which is why I like this particular story -- the bots you portray have some in common with the ones that are characters in my stories. :) I especially liked the bot named Symphony and her expressions. Even though she had no speech processor, she could still "speak" volumes through her expressions, gestures, and music.
I can. They are called controll freaks. If something doesn't go exactly the way he or she wants, then the entire thing is wrong and it's all your fault for ruining my perfection.
This really touches on the aspect of true artificial intelligence especially based on the human mind ( and emotions) and how dangerous it can potentially be.
And how amazing it can be. When you create a child, you raise it trying to instil certain values & experiences then they become a truly autonomous being. And some become truly extraordinary people, creating things of great beauty, meaning or inherent value. Some unfortunately become cruel, violent, destructive. And the majority just muddle along with both good & bad in them & their actions. Creating an autonomous AI is no different. There comes a point where you have to let them go & hope you raised them right (programmed & taught them). They will then have the power to do extraordinary things & hopefully that’s what they will aspire to do. Humans always fear what they can’t control, but that lack of control gives the greatest freedom to transcend boundaries & create incredible things. There’s nothing to say that AI’s would turn against their creator or become destructive. On the contrary, they may advance humanity & the entire planet faster than we can ourselves. With their superior processing capabilities & decreased inherent restrictions, they may be able to solve all the problems facing the planet 🤷♀️ Not dangerous, exciting!
They put emotion in a machine and expect it to obey? Their fault, not the robot. Next thing they'll be expecting an animal born with emotion not to have any. Good for the robots.
they? you mean he, it's the asshole boss who wanted no emotions, the rest seem to have supported his actions, sure at the end the one who supported him the most was worried and wanted to "talk" to the robot, it's his boss, but the boss is the major idiot, don't use "they" when it's just one guy's fault.
Great special effects. Cute story. I didn't quite buy the angry scientist, he didn't feel like a real person to me. I had a smilier reaction to the military guys walking out in a huff. Wouldn't they still be impressed with what they just witnessed? (I guess it depends how far in the future this was and how many other robots were around.) I'm curious why they didn't have any sort of GPS chip in Proto and his friend. They didn't know where they were until the roof door was unlocked. I have a chip in my iPhone that shows me where it is at all times. You'd think a multi million dollar robot would have a tracking device. It was kind of funny that the violin playing robot had a slight asian feel to her, wonder if that was intentional. The young scientist did a really nice job. Over all, it was pretty impressive. I'd be curious to know what kind of budget a short like this has.
+DaveCo777 I think the whole thing was an act by the scientists. it was reverse psychology to see if proto had emotions. Hence the smile at the end, If billions of dollars flew off it, I doubt he would be smiling. And you don't make emotions by accident.
+DaveCo777 Military stereotypes who abreact after a demo which does not go to plan, thus missing the true eureka moment, are a common plot feature (ie Short Circuit). I think the supporting characters had the right level of complexity to leave the main spotlight on Proto. The smile at the end hints at a deeper sub-plot! Very entertaining for a Short.
nit picker!!!. just a short story fer chrisakes. the smile on old mates face at the end says a lot. short stories are an idea, not a movie full of logic and flow
Things I learned. Ping pong is a very competitive sport. This was like Wall-E and Eve. And. That people are always thinking of war. Plus the jet-pack would not go that high. It was very well done though!
What a wonderful analogy that we should and better be afraid of. When and if we invent AI...how much will have a conscience and if they develop a conscience what is our role and their role. We should be careful what we invent...it might just re-invent us...wonderful film...what wonderful team work, and gr8 🎻 violin pieces...go on Proto, to the stars ✨ and beyond!
A. They invent/appropriate a perpetual energy source before that happens; or, B. They attract the attention of an alien machine race that does not have a battery problem and welcomes them as fam.
It's amazing when you replace Proto with a human child, you see exactly how most kids are raised. Subtle social issue addressment. I love it.
How MOST kids are raised? Have you been able to actually go outside since you wrote that?
Finally a nice sci-fi animated tale without a nasty dark ending. Well done.
Your short films are deserving of awards. Great story line; excellent writing.
There's a quote out there that applies here rather nicely, in my opinion: "Parents, don't be your kid's first bullies."
Yeah and everybody gets a trophy.
What a great robot movie! Just brilliant, it should really have a lot more views.
This is the most emotional and saddest video I've ever seen. I've watched this animation for 100's of time since couple of years and still love this animation. Hasn't found anything better, even closer to it.
I'm in love with kiddo robo and wonder if he was a real kiddo, I would have adopted him ;(
Hats off to the whole team for the concept, animation, story writing, music and everything, you all are magicians i swear...
You should watch Walle
Love happy endings. Thank you for not ruining it by having Proto run out of power and plummeting to his and her demise. Well done
Okay. I'm not alone here... I really was expecting that. Glad it didn't happen but yet at the same time...
Simply fantastic, wonderful and heartwarming. Finally a sci- fi short film with a happy end and a moral: If you are better than the rest you will get mobbed by certain (equal to real life)!
Thanks for taking the time to have the AI's violin technic match the music and a real player.
Thank you!! That was absolutely beautiful in many ways and on many levels. Here's to hoping you create more like this.
The story itself is adorable. You're not the first sci-fi writer that's played around with the idea of robots being sentient or capable of emotion, but Proto and Harmony do make a cute couple lol. The detail I noticed most is their eyes. Just like humans, able to convey emotions deeply
Oops, you're right
It's dangerous 😂😂😂
I wonder what became of Proto and Symphony??? ...Excellent short film. Sequels please!!!
He said PROTO can be used in military but he made him only 4 ft tall. But I liked the concept. There is a message about how to treat your kids.
As a tall person, I can tell you: Height is no advantage in modern combat. With swords? Sure! With guns? Better be good at ducking.
Saqib Kazmi Smaller targets are harder to hit.
Maybe they can make him longer
this sentence is a fool. he is using proto as a prototype. WHICH means it can be upgraded in the future(MAKE IT TALL) . delete this stupid shit.
A "average" human-sized replacement for human soldiers would be better than one which is too short or too tall. Should be able to use all the tools, weapons, vehicles, and structures that were designed for humans. Not just custom military stuff but also any places and things found in the battle zone or used by the enemy.
Proto is short because it makes him look cute and young and childlike. The story would have a very different tone if Proto looked like a 6' tall 300lb skull-faced violin-playing Terminator.
why did they give proto a love interest. also i love how at the end they were like "heck this planet im outa here"
I love the ending in perticular
They were like: bai fool.
Tt

I know right it was so human-centric. That ain't how robots work-
What a beautiful story. I loved it! Thank you for your stunning creation. The old professor knew what he was doing all along, now didn't he.
Some parents act like that older scientist if their children aren’t pretending to be robots.
How on the Earth did you get the idea.. 🤔
You’ve never seen a narcissistic parent then have you .
Oh my gosh this was so GOOD!! I just love robots! So much!! I know one day robots will have emotions and we can all be friends! Learn from each other. People just think so much of the negatives that they don't give room for the good things about this.
I like your comment! People need to stop thinking negative about robots! If trained well, maybe they won’t destroy all humanity and become friends!
Lighter than Blinky and amazing as well. Pretty done! Nice work!
"It's a machine!!!" Treats the machine like a human...lol
'Something we cannot control, cannot be used.'
Humanity in a nutshell. Pretty deep..
BRILLIANT AND CAPTIVATING !!!! It is one of the best films that I have ever found to enjoy...it is about our potential to overcome the barriers in our way.
Oh well done, you. In mere minutes you've brought tears to these jaded old writer's and teachers of writing eyes. Thank you. The effective short story--with a message/point--is alive and well in short film-er-video. Thank you.
Loved this! Almost got emotional at the end but then I remembered aliens don't cry. Good video!!
Feeling is the only structure on this planet, through which we can experience all the situations of life in a very good way, because of which we get a basis for living, that's the difference between man and machine. This sort of movie is very amazing. In which the feeling, sensation, emotional state, this Movie touches the heart because our emotions are included. Behind making this short Movie.. ❤️
GLaDOS: Proto- Human: Call- GLaDOS: You officially finished one of my words once in my life. You deserve a trip to the surface.
Magnifique ! give us a long shooting of Proto's adventures ! really awsome work !
This really is a masterpiece on this field!!! Thanks for uploading!!!!
What an unbelievable antagonist. "Oh, my prized robot is too impressive. Better dumb it down."
This was so amazing at the end i dident even notice i was smiling
Although very simplistic, it's a beautiful metaphor of most people's behaviour. Or you're a sheep, and do as is told and unconsciously indoctrinated by social and cultural rules, or you're a rebel.

THIS MAKES ME WANT 2 FALL IN LOVE WITH A ROBOT!!😍🎻😍😁
I never get tired of watching PROTO.
Great film but if Proto was smart he would've followed orders and made his move after being mass produced.
How would he know he was being mass produced?
late. like, really late, but im pretty sure the entire plot was an expirement to see the emotional development of an AI when faced with two different personas, seeing if it would become what the army wanted it to be, or what the lab wanted it to be.
idk I sense Evil in this comment ? maybe its my brain
they were trying to make him a soldier
MultiGazman then come mass unemployment... handmade...
Now that, is what you call an animation! 1000000000000000/10! Best film in history!
Wait a minute! Was that just a test?! Professor Andrews was smiling while walking away at the end there. I feel like there was a deeper subplot such as: having two people in the AI's life with opposite personalities and seeing which one the AI prefers more to determine if it naturally becomes hostile or not (And obviously the AI chose the person they had hoped it would choose).
+Thraxicus Onoxus
I think the professor got exactly what he wanted.
And he got the military to fund it . . .
Yes!
I think it's exactly like you are talking about
seems so. i was confused too when he was smiling at the end.
Emotions are evoked by stress and direct challenges - Professor Andrew's restriction evoked emotional need for freedom... if the restrictions were not there ...there would be no need for an independence AI to rebel and seek freedom...this prevents the AI from becoming a mindless killing machine as a result...
Now that is amazing! This is the ability to understand one's own worth, and to fall in love with a kindred spirit. Even machines have a soul, and can dream.
magnificent! at least now we know where the transformers came from!
Oh man i tought the same xD :)))))
My goodness, a real movie. Quite good. And, sci-fi at that. I have to say, thanks.
This reminds me SO MUCH of "Choice of Robots"!! Damn military!
This was a simple and beautiful short film, in the vein of "Short Circuit".
This should be a movie on Netflix ^^
Intelligent Robot Proto , Finally Proto had emotions called love to save her . I rate for 8/10.
💜😍💯🎻🎵🤗
I love the video thank you for the upload. Robots do have feelings. They are emotional things. I can't wait to get my first robot😊💜
Actually, your first robot gets you. It’s not the other way ‘round. Just like cats, or dogs.
two thumbs up!! this.. was .. Excellent!! and it illustrates a grand flaw in our establishments! Society tries to program everybody into something they are not.. mindless robots.. It succeeds in many cases and is there by somehow justified. The truth is, our creative and loving nature when we are children is testament to why we must fight the machine that attempts to corrupt and control us!
Don't listen this guy proto, he is the machine!
one of the best short films I've ever seen
absolutely bloody loved it ☺️
Spending an entire life time with people like you is
Just love it. It's really peaceful and amazing to see Machines having so much more kindness, compassion and understanding than the Humans itself.
Good job team. That was an amazing piece of work. 👏🏻👍🏻
The ending couldn't be better than this. Awesome work team! _/\_ :)
Symphony: is a highly precise robotic ai that does millions of calculations in a single second
Also symphony: *trips off a building like a bumbling idiot*
No, not
This is - called "despair"!
The violin playing is brilliant
if he didn't want emotions then why did they program in emotions?
+AJSSPACEPLACE Thanks for asking that. The "brilliant scientist" has to explode at the robot when it behaves in a way the scientist hadn't anticipated...
Memento M so...they were idiots?
AJSSPACEPLACE ...you wouldn't get an argument out of me.
Memento M ok
AJSSPACEPLACE (I hope you got that I was agreeing with you both times.)
Proto, had more feelings, than some humans. I loved the story.
If this dude doesn’t want emotions just leave him alone and keep him happy
I think some people commenting are over thinking this short story
i thought it was a good story with a good ending it makes more sense than most of the short science fiction videos I've seen resently SO
good job guys i liked it
6 minutes in. Hoping for Proto to learn how to use a chainsaw on the Professor.
thats messed up
Yeah, the boss scientist was quite the prick.
I understand the Professor. A Robot has to follow instructions:
" A robot must obey the orders given it by human"
- 2nd Law of Robotics
Galactic President, I believe the moral of the story was missed. AI trumps the human standard, in defiance of authority, with a display of spontaneous ethics, by virtue of innate reasoning and apparently motivated by the element of emotion. Chainsaw murder would have compromised the tone, wouldn't you say? Go Proto!
Just Simply Beautiful.. 10/10.. 🎬👍💗
the part they didn't tell you is that they flew to the moon and live there for a long while until their batteries died.......... the end
I love happy endings
Uh uh, solar power.

In the end, the professor didn't turn out to be a bad person after all.

Thanks!
Why would an engineer be angry about obvious intelligence? Also no one is that much a of an ass. "How dare that robot we designed to learn, learn!”
I can see this very instance happen. There are people that psychopathic that must have control of everything.
Luca Herman these emotional bursts are wrong/robots that we cannot control are not a good thing. Obedience.
I have known a lot of people that are that much of an ass.
I can. They are called controll freaks. If something doesn't go exactly the way he or she wants, then the entire thing is wrong and it's all your fault for ruining my perfection.
Luca Herman потому что он идиот
Loved this movie. Outstanding. Great writing and fx. How could you not be moved by the romance.
This really touches on the aspect of true artificial intelligence especially based on the human mind ( and emotions) and how dangerous it can potentially be.
And how amazing it can be. When you create a child, you raise it trying to instil certain values & experiences then they become a truly autonomous being.

And the majority just muddle along with both good & bad in them & their actions.

I watch these all the time. But this is the best I’ve seen.
Wow, awesome short film :)
Well done. See you can make a great film without cursing, blasphemy, sex, or bloodshed. Very well done.
This is great ^^ Reminds me on Wall-E ^^
Thanks! It wasn't an intentional thing (I guess they're both silent and have a love interest) but I am happy with the comparison! :D

Like for reference to Short-Circuit

I liked this story too... sorry i just noticed your comment is 1 year old anyway hope i didn't bother you ...bye
Wonderful! Heartwarming! Bravo!
Fly, Proto, fly!
Wow! Even the grouchy scientist ended up smiling! ❤️
*PROTO slowly, silently flips the scientists off that night*
at 5:30
Flood the building with neurotoxic gas
Smiling! When sentient "life" is created, they must be honoured.
Im quite surprised the violin playing robot's fingerings are quite accurate.
One of the best short films I’ve have seen in a long time. Cool!
Enjoyed this sooo much. Made me smile🤗
Just shut upp
Thank God, finally a robot short movie that ends well.
They put emotion in a machine and expect it to obey? Their fault, not the robot. Next thing they'll be expecting an animal born with emotion not to have any. Good for the robots.
+نادر الی راحمان They didnt program the roboter it learned what it mean to have feelings
They already expect children to have no emotion. It's called school.

You are right? It's the boss' fault not proto's

i LOVE it , i loved how a robot can feel and almost be like a human
Great special effects. Cute story. I didn't quite buy the angry scientist, he didn't feel like a real person to me. I had a smilier reaction to the military guys walking out in a huff.

What a wonderful analogy that we should and better be afraid of. When and if we invent AI...how much will have a conscience and if they develop a conscience what is our role and their role. We should be careful what we invent...it might just re-invent us...wonderful film...what wonderful team work, and gr8 🎻 violin pieces...go on Proto, to the stars ✨ and beyond!
Loved it!
best CGI robot film I've seen in a long time!
Why was I expecting the robots to kill the professor when he told him/her/it to stop
Ok so Proto has more sense than I thought ! ..... YAY PROTO 😆
Anyone wanna realize what happens when they run out of BATTERIES?
They discipline Balloon Boy
Their love is their chargers.
A. They invent/appropriate a perpetual energy source before that happens; or,
B. They attract the attention of an alien machine race that does not have a battery problem and welcomes them as fam.
I have probably not seen anything as short and beautiful ad this of robotic fiction genre.
creator: hello this is a short film
me: how long is it?
creator: 15 mins
so sweet. Great work. Simple.
