This Cartoon starts slowly but then develops into an enjoyable (but somewhat predictable) tale of robots risking everything for a friend. The basic premise is that two mortal enemies awaken chained together centuries after the war to end all wars and have no memory of who they are. They spend ages trying to break the chain that binds them (physically, not metaphorically) and find, eventually, after the odd argument or two, that they actually like each other. Of course, an ancient computerised system wants to complete its mission to end the final conflict and the two friends have to find out whether they must obey their programming or help an enemy now turned friend. Some nice characterisation, but ruined somewhat by actors wholly unable to pronounce the letter "T". The words are DuTy not doody, BaTTle not baddle and WhiTey not widey - that was perhaps the most annoying element in the whole film!!
