Some refugee/immigrants experience racism or something.

This should have just been a low-budget cell animated made for tv-movie; who thought this would be a good idea?

Nothing could possibly go wrong in an amusement park populated by robots.

A good-ish movie, which must have been spectacular at the time because of its original themes and spectacular presentation. It holds up very well over the few centuries since its release.

After a disaster, a pleasure theme park re-opens with a new population of robots.

Although this one has held up well, it does show its age. It’s still spectacularly well-made, and especially well-written.

A lovestruck girl makes a wish to enter into the world of a prince.

An orphan struggles to survive, all the while working to repair an automaton that prompts an adventure.

Not among the greats, but it’s a quiet, quaint, watchable, movie.

The Trade Federation blockades a peaceful planet, and decisive action is required to bring political and military strength to bear.

An astonishing improvement on the original. Even though it’s lower visual quality than it’s original can be, it’s worth a watch. Very highly recommended especially to fans of the original trilogy who were disappointed by this new trilogy.

Very good; I can see why it was popular!
