Check This Out: Blinky™ Short Film

This short film from Ruairi Robinson shows a near-future where robot helpers are common home appliances. Max Records (Where The Wild Things Are) is a child whose parents are enduring a difficult patch, fighting a lot around the house. The child gets a new robot friend, Blinky, but the fun only lasts for a while when he realises that the robot can't save his parents' relationship.

The kid is rather annoying and a lot of the 12 minute short's beats are predictable, but it's got a nice aesthetic and realistic future vision, so it's worth a watch. If nothing else, it's 12 minutes of your life you don't have to listen to this shite.
