*not the ending i expected but probably the one i deserved*

I would love to see a mini series of shorts with this robot and his misadventures in the human world, meaning well but accidentally causing havoc wherever he goes.

This is ROBOT PROFILING, not all robots chop peoples heads off. DUST you will get a call from our A.I. ROBOT LAWYER .

I love the '50's vibe. Beautiful ridiculous robot. Nice cats. Very good style.

[kannethamartin]

Um...wow...just...WOW! That was really good. I love it when Robot first went outside to get the cat from the tree and the camera did that quick zoom-in, close-up of the cat and he was hissing and trying to look big and brave. That was hilarious, not to mention adorable. Thank you Dust, your uploads are always quality.

I mean I'm not going to lose my head here, but the ending did seem to cut things short.

[joshuamefford]

Well, ummm.... at least he didn’t hurt the cat!🤣🤣

[Zapp]

That ending is exactly why I would be nervous around a robot the same as I would a pet tiger.

[MichaelBradley]

Sometimes the shortest and simplest videos are the best. Weird "oops" moment at the end.

[sagarikamukherjee]

Seriously I died after watching the ending...
Don't know what words to Just keep up dust... That's extraordinary 👍

The robot hugged her and I was like "that saw blade is awfully close to her" and goes her neck.

[wombatmarsupial]

Great film, a bit of a Edward Scissorhands moment. Must get through a few employers with hugs like that😊😊

[lookingood]

😲😂🤣🤣🤣 Well that took a turn that I wasn't expecting 🤣🤣🤣💙

[peculiar]

I'm honestly not sure how I should feel after that.

[krishnakhan]

Greetings from India, outstanding short films.

Most excellent artistic vibe. That awkward robot shape and design, and the sketched black and white along with the silent movie was just perfect.

[maerim]

I was wondering why my anxiety was progressively going up. Then the ending hit ~

Well done

[CC-rgtc]

The art style is an absolute joy, impeded only slightly by the composition of certain shots like the barbershop ones which put an overemphasis on empty space, and the black-and-white mannequin figures seeming to move too smoothly when jerky stop-motion movements would seem almost more natural. The twist ending is horrendously good. I personally give this film a 9/10.

[matta]

That took a rather dark turn at the end.

[jaysun]

Now THAT'S the way to get ahead in life
