The guy on the left is Robot Verter, according to the credits. No wonder he talks so slowly and walks so stiffly.
BTW, is there any science fiction movie with talking robots who speak rapidly, perhaps slurring their words and cracking jokes? For that matter, is there any movie besides this one in which robots express a concern for future generations? I don’t watch much science fiction, so I could easily have missed it.
I don’t know if Robot Verter has a big role throughout this movie, but I hope he does. It’s easy to understand him, because he speaks so slowly and distinctly. Good for language-learning, I hope.
