About This Movie

So, ‘MiBots’ is this quirky blend of adventure and comedy, with a nice touch of animation that really gives it a unique vibe. You've got this young genius, Mi Anderson, who’s all about her robots, and then she stumbles upon these ancient bots that seem to defy the laws of time and tech. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it keeps you engaged with its charm, and the practical effects used for the bots add a certain tactile quality that’s refreshing. The themes of creation and companionship run deep, making you ponder the nature of life and invention. It’s one of those films that hits a sweet spot of nostalgia while being playful and heartfelt.

‘MiBots’ isn't the easiest find, with its obscure release history making it somewhat of a rarity in collector circles. The film was released in various formats, but the original print seems to be the most sought after due to its limited run. Interest in this title has grown among niche collectors, especially those who appreciate the mix of hand-drawn and practical effects that give it an old-school feel. Keep an eye on condition as well, since the animation can be delicate on older versions.
