IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Diskotek)
Anime anthology of nine short films linked by the theme of "robots". The animation style and stories are varied, ranging from the horror-tinged opening "Franken's Gears", several more straight sci-fi robot invasions, the poetic "Cloud" featuring line-sketched drawing and "Chicken Man and Red Neck" which appears inspired by classic Disney animation such as Fantasia. I caught it on cable TV back in the 80s, and was thoroughly entertained all over again by the recent DVD release.
