Well, here we go again: do kid-droids dream of electric lambs.
There are some high aspirations here, trying to say something profound about the human and post-human condition. But it's lost in repetition, an excessive runtime, repetition, too many characters, and repetition.
The animation is strictly mediocre, the score overblown, and the English dub is shoddy. There are some decent voice actors there, but they're just phoning it in and - with the exception of the always reliable Keith David - barely recognisable.
