Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Donald F Animated anthology films are few and far between. Its a shame - few feature length films can offer so much wonder. Fantasia, Fantasia 2000, Neo-Tokyo, and Memories are must-watches for any fan of the art. Robot Carnival isn't well-known, but its one of my favorite films.Robot Carnival is special not only for the few restrictions enforced on the directors, but because it has a single restriction - all the shorts must be about robots. And each short provides a different perspective on the sci-fi trope. Each with a different art style, a different genre, and a different tone, not a single story repeated.Its a very intriguing film. You never know what's around the corner. Some of the shorts will be alright, others amazing. Its not as consistently good as other 9-star films, but its such a breath of fresh air. The discussions with friends afterwords make Robot Carnival a great party movie. The shorts are so different from one another, no two people will have the same opinion on the film.Robot Carnival was an early discovery of mine - I learned about it by watching a sci-fi channel trailer for Lensman, a VHS anime I bought for a dollar. To find something so beautiful and unique, yet so unknown...it has a permanent place in my heart. If you're a fan of animation, you need to see this.

Aaron1375 Almost every story in this film was very well done and enjoyable. I just wish I could get a hold of a DVD of this fine film so I can do a better review of it as there are a lot of the stories I can not remember to clearly as it has been a while since I last saw this film. I remember it starting with a bang as a giant robot carnival comes to town and begins to blow up everything in sight and this is also part of the ending tale too. There is a story of a woman kidnapped and a mysterious young man comes to save her, I enjoyed this one as the music was very good and this one had good action as well. Another one I remember is a Frankenstein one that is the shortest of the bunch if I remember correctly. Then there is one where a girl goes to a fair and somehow a ride she goes on ends up as being an action sequence. The funniest one involves two robots as a mad engineer does battle with kids using what was intended to be a float for a fair. Then there is a strange one involving a guy and this female bot, this story made the least sense, but I am guessing a lot of it was cut as I watched it on TBS so I am guessing it would make a lot more sense if seen in its entirety. The final one I remember is one about a robot that looked a bit like Mega Man just walking through the clouds, very simple but well done. I think there was more, but this is all I remember, like I said I would love to get a hold of the DVD so I can watch it all again and uncut this time.

atariteenager31 Originally saw this back in the early nineties as a part of Sci-Fi's Saturday Anime. To this day, through all of the anime films/series I've seen, this still reigns as the greatest. No anime fan will be disappointed with this film, even those who aren't fans of the genre should enjoy this flick. It is sad that this film didn't get very much exposure in the States, as it easily could have been subject to awards. A great example of a film students interperetive dream; Trying to develop a correlation between all of the shorts (outside of their all contain robots), pulling some greater meaning from the movie. Yea, it's one of those types of movie, that appears to be on a higher philosophical level than just your average entertainment.

Telex Well, first, I am spanish and my english is a little bad, but i think that i can write my opinion about this film, in a form that you understand me.Robot Carnival is the second best film of japanese animaton (the first is Akira) The best thing in this film is the music. The soundtrack is a master piece, i recomend it, and the best segments are the segments of Starlight angel, The Cloud and the segment of the robot girl (i don't remember the name)If you like japanese animation. ¡See this film!
