Eye candy: Blinky™

Oscar-nominated animator Ruari ‘Fifty Percent Grey‘ Robinson has released his latest film, Blinky™.

The 13-minute short, which tells the story of a young boy’s growing disenchantment with his robot playmate, stars Where The Wild Things Are’s Max Records.

But it’s Blinky himself – an unnerving hybrid of R2-D2 and HAL – who really steals the show. We won’t spoil the twist at the end of the film.
