Robot Carnival is a unique compilation of short films. The film was masterminded by a lot of iconic anime creators such as Katsuhiro Otomo, Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, Koji Morimoto, and famous composer Joe Hisaishi whose work you would know from studio Ghibli movies. This film itself is somewhat of a mixed bag since all of the nine shorts are stylistically very different. The one thing that ties them all together, of course, is the presence of robots of some kind. I would say that there is almost certainly at least one short here for everyone though! Its just a lot of fun to watch, even just one time. All of the short films being separate also makes it easy to just pick up and put down and to view it at your own pace. I think my top 3 of the 9 shorts featured here are: "Franken's Gears", "Strange Tales of Meiji Machine Culture: Westerner's Invasion", and "Star Light Angel". People in the United States and Canada can also watch this movie for free officially and legally on Youtube in its wonderful HD restoration on the channel RetroCrush.
