Description

In a unique home nestled among tree branches, three robots—fatherly inventor Giovanni Lawson, a sadistic nurse machine, and a love-starved vacuum—live with human Victor Lawson. Their tranquility is disrupted when Victor repairs an unfamiliar android named HAP, revealing a dark history involving human hunting. When HAP inadvertently exposes their location, the family is no longer safe. Giovanni is captured and taken to his former lab in the City of Electric Dreams. Victor and his family must traverse a dangerous, otherworldly land to rescue Giovanni, while grappling with feelings of betrayal and affection for HAP. Inspired by The Adventures of Pinocchio, this standalone fantasy combines elements of Swiss Family Robinson and Wall-E, exploring themes of love and loyalty.
