[@accordingtosophia]

Yeah, I think so. If you think about it, the two main robots seemed to be shovelling ore to power the train, similar to coal miners. Because they were connected to the train, they were prevented from seeing the world that the high-class robots lived in. Without the blue spheres, which the high-class robots had, they relied solely on the train (their position in society) to give them power, but it also restricted them.

Can't do high-five. *Let's destroy everyone* Edit: Thanks @Blakka Fly for correction.

Being able to high five your buddy is a basic robot right...

Matthew V Alcudia Actually I think they’re working on that along with genetically alter beings/creatures or is that politically incorrect since so many think animals have more rights than humans.

That wasn't coal. So maybe some kind of fusion-powered train?

[@kozgert]

possibly releasing any heat thats in there and the civilization might be living things connected to robot bodies because they aren't able to go into space but thats just my thinking

[@cameronknapp7315]

It looks like coal.

Honestly, steam can never be forgotten, maybe it’s “gaseous” in some way with that special space coal?

Amazing how much you managed to flesh out a whole sci fi setting without relying on cliches and in just 7 minutes. Really incredible.

They went from an inconvenient scenario to a more inconvenient scenario.

[@waltercomunello121]

Before, they weren't attached to each other yet being confined in a room. Now, they're permanently attached to each other, being free in the vast world. Enthralling.

Brian, This is absolutely amazing. You can tell it’s a labor of love. I found myself grinning the whole time and felt his appreciation for his friend as he fought for him...Especially when he pops up out of the capsule and hands his buddy an energy ball. Well done!!!!

Wonder if this takes place in the same universe as WALL-E. That'd be pretty cool actually!

Probably in the *extremely distant* future afterwards, but still you've got a point there.

@@JPSE57 tbh I think they just figured that out eventually lol. Either that or they'll just look for some somewhere else since it's too risky considering that there could be more security drones inside.

I love this Shorts program. They are so creative and original. I hope this isnt just a one time thing but also a program you guys do yearly. Also, I personally prefer this short over Purl.

[@sourpuss5951]

It doesn't even have half a million views :( It's definitely better than Purl.

[@ebbandfloatzel]

Definitely. I feel this short handled it's message much more elegantly. It told the story it was trying to tell, while also having an underlying message (Smash and Grab could be seen as lower class robots, or could also be seen as slaves. Either way the story fits just the same.) But Purl's story only works with Yarns representing women in the workplace, and actually falls apart if you look at the short story at face value (there's literally no reason the "Bros" would be so awkward around Lacey or even Purl if they knew Yarn people existed.) Even outside of that, both stereotypes were almost outright offensive. It just felt like good intentions with poor execution, mostly due to the dumbed down plot. It would have fit much better if they skipped the metaphors.

[@vindurza]

I am digging the more mature animations glad to see pixar showing animation isn't just for children but for everyone.

[@SuperMovieLvr933]

The only time Pixar made a childish franchise was Cars. Everything else they've produced can be enjoyed at all ages.

[@vindurza]

@@Skyefrost. they work for pixar or did you miss that its them letting their animators make What they want

[@TeamRemForever]

I have no words.... This was your BEST short yet. I loved every second of it. Smash and Grab is now officially my new favorite Pixar short. Before, Geri's Game was my all time favorite until my eyes saw this wonderful masterpiece. This short was so good, that I even applauded for a whole minute after it ended. I love how this tells a very relatable story, with powerful emotions from the characters, and no dialogue. You deserve a good ol pat on the back. This was like WALL-E but in the far, far future. So once again, I applaud you. 👏👏👏👏👏
