Wire Cutters [Animated Short] by Jack Anderson

Moral of the story: give your smashing robot a scanner, and your scanning robot a smasher.

And that's why its always a good idea having a power cable adaptor with you.

This is an awesome analogue to our reality. Greed over the most trivial things can have catastrophic consequences. Great short in all aspects.

Came back to this years later . Still a VERY good piece of art + Great story with a nugget at the end . Thank you Jack

That's why when you're in the position of control you should always chose to be giving. The smaller robot was already finding stones much faster with the help of the big one, so it was a huge error to risk it all for one little extra.

The story was really good :) A bit sad the ending :( Really nice work!

Thats why you should always have a spare wind catching solar panel

Team work makes the dream work until someone gets greedy. Then, everyone looses. Wicked video!!

greed is a horrible thing

the moral of the story is that standardization of equipment is very important. everyone should've chosen betamax over vhs. wakka wakka

This is absolutely beautiful, I’m blown away by the animation and visual story telling. I can only imagine how painstakingly long this took to create! Soo good

Moral of the story: 1: Don't be selfish 2: Always bring a power adaptor with you.

That whole confrontation at the end could have easily been avoided if they just left the stone there until they mined more so they could equal it out. Edit: 7 years later and I'm still getting replies to this comment. At this rate I'll be dead and people will still be replying.

You leave the rock there until you get another odd set, tada. I should be a lawyer. Cheers, good work. When we got to see the cable up close it looked phenomenal. Looked good, fun story.

Excellent video. Beautifully made and a joy to watch. Well done!

The little robot’s face and eyes are so expressive! Loved it!

In a way, it reminds me of a childhood story of a happy dog because he was given a bone. One day, he comes across a river of a lake and sees another dog holding its own bone. In his greed, the dog thinks he can just take the other dog's bone. But when he opens his mouth, he drops his own bone because the 'other dog' was only a reflection. The morale is that you should be thankful for what you have, otherwise you may wind up with nothing. These robots paint a very similar picture, so thank you for the story and animation! ^^

I think the beginning is beautiful too robots from too companies working together. Then... GREED.

Really good !! Thanks for posting !!

Такая потрясающая анимация была сделана 8 лет назад, этот человек был восхитителен в своём деле. Жаль что он ушёл
