Remember that toy that was hot for Christmas called Robosapien? Of course you do. They made a new version every year. that spawned into other similar “robo” themed toys? No? Well trust me, it was big!

So big that they are basing a new movie around the toy. So while you are still trying to figure out what toy I am talking about and why they are making a movie, Quiet Earth has the plot synopsis:

An inventor working for Kinetech Labs has designed a robot for search and rescue missions that has the ability to mimic human actions and emotions. After discovering that the robot’s advanced microchip is actually going to be used by Kinetech for military applications, the inventor programs the robot to flee, whereupon it is damaged. Twelve year old Henry finds the broken robot, fixes him up and names him Cody. With no memory of his past, Cody becomes Henry’s best friend, helping him win over his love interest, battle bullies and partake in some crazy fun. Cody quickly becomes a valuable part of Henry’s family as he helps them forge better relationships with one another, and even surprises them by remodeling their home.

I kinda liked this story more when it was the quiet neighbour of Short Circuit and Small Soldiers.

But honestly what other story are you going to come with to share the vast lore and history behind the robotic toy that can dance and/or pick up small objects.
