Dude this wasn’t bad, I actually really like the characters in this. Plus it was pretty consistently funny. It may look cheap but honestly I found it to be very charming
I am going to be very honest, (and I am legitimately serious with this statement) I actually don’t hate “Gaithers Pond”. In fact I think it’s one of the better Christian cartoons (besides Veggietales of course) Yes the CGI is HORRIFIC, most of the songs are not needed (in the first cartoon, I have not watched any of the other episodes), and the writing could’ve been less on the nose. But I actually don’t mind the characters that much (I actually like how the main protagonist Gaither is kind of a d%€k, instead of being pitch perfect), at its core is a good message, and it didn’t feel overly preachy.
love the shiny silver robot the most 'We haven't been officially brainwashed' 'There's nothing wrong with me!' and of course the goth employee girl@@KiboSanti
@@MrTony-rx7tk Cory Edwars also voiced Twitchy and Shinyman 5000, he also directed the fourth and final Gaither's Pond episode and a Netflix movie by Vanguard animation called Fe@rless but he didn't voiced any characters of both films he did
This movie actually wasn’t bad compared to Gaither’s other works. The animation quality has somewhat improved, the jokes landed nicely, and I actually grown to kinda like the humanoid robot character.
I can't get over the fact that a movie that has orphan child labor in it, instead focuses on christmas and almost completely ignores the child slavery in it. Like, what? I thought for sure they would get adopted or somthing but nah, they just gotta keep being miserable lol.
Similar to how Nickelodeon and O Entertainment did with Jimmy Neutron and Barnyard, starting as theatrically released pilot episode movies before becoming shows
I remember watching this movie when i was about 3-5 years old. I recently remembered a couple of scenes and have been looking for it for years now. Than you so much Saber ❤
40:11 That is genius yet kinda cursed reference. But honestly despite the animation being very dated I didn't think this movie / special was that bad. I am a little biased because my cousin ACTUALLY had it on DvD and I have small nostalgia but the jokes in english version and the songs are actually well made. And if you compare it to Gaither's Pond then it doesn't even look bad at all (also it was a 2004 movie and not everyone had the 3D of Pixar).
Compared to all the other stuff we’ve watched on this channel this, while definitely violating copyright laws, this isn’t that bad some of the jokes actually got a real laugh mostly from silver guy
Holy shit I remember this movie, I watched it a lot when I was at my grandmas place. Also fun fact, one of the distribution companies for this was a subsidiary of FUNIMATION! I am not Bullshiting. It’s called Our Time Family Entertainment.
Yo ! I remember watching this movie as a kid, it really surprises me to find out that movie that I bought on the supermarket or something like that have a lot of lore behind them like “this movie was the first cgi movie made in Soviet Union” or something like that
Nothing says Christmas like an orphan sweat shop breaking out into song. [edit] though the animation is crap, music is subpar, voice acting is tolerable. However, the script and dialogue is not half bad. I got a few good chuckles. It's the class clown of a 3D animation class made a movie.
This one movie for some reason cemented "wobots" in my brain. Nothing else about the movie except for the one scene where the kid trumphantly mispronounces the word How the HELL did this get onto canadian TV?
Oh my gosh, I've been looking for this movie everywhere, I used to watch this when I was younger, tho I remembered it looking a lot better. I actually like the movie, probably because of the nostalgia
32:13 y'know considering how this was one of those Christian Kids' movies, it wouldn't surprise if they went for... that... with their villain (Psalty the singing songbook did the same thing basically)
Overall, it was worth the wait (5 years, Jesus). Comedy was the highlight, and the characters were honestly pretty memorable. The animation was mediocre and there was definitely some errors. But in the end, an enjoyable movie.
Y'know, compared to Benjy's past works, this is actually watchable? Like, it still has that cheap Gaither feel with the head movements when the humans speak (tilting, unnecessary swelling, etc.), but it actually isn't horrible? Certainly not as bad as Gaither's Pond and *infinitely* better than Dorbees. Maybe, with a higher budget and some fine tuning, this could've actually been a short series.
Both this and Gaither's Pond were released in 2004. THIS as a 2004 movie - or rather a christmas special because I think it was supposed to be TV series - that was not made by Pixar doesn't even look that bad at all. A few animation errors were there but the models aren't as horrible as anything in Gaither's Pond.
Maybe I just have low standards, but this doesn't seem that bad of a movie. I mean, it's early CGI, so things definitely look rough. But at the same time, some of the jokes were funny, some of the songs were (regrettably) catchy, and it honestly wasn't even that preachy. Like, the Christian messaging wasn't even that in-your-face. Granted, they become believers the second they learn about Jesus, but then outside of it taking place on Christmas, they don't even mention Christianity. They go back to save the day because "they understand the true meaning of Christmas" and because the villain was gonna kidnap and enslave orphans. That said, the biggest problem by far is how the villain is coded to be Jewish, with his villain song even following the tune of a famous Jewish folk song. If it weren't for this massive problem, I could see myself liking it as a kid in a similar manner to Veggietales. But then, I'd definitely choose Veggietales over this if given the choice at that age.
So your one issue with it is that you *think* the religion that explicitly teaches that Jews are God's chosen people and should never be antagonized, and that shares most of its religious texts with religious Jews... is racially mocking Jews?
I think I’ve found what they’re talking about..? By the left hand side of the robots head, blocked by it in some frames, a star flicks a bit, not sure though..
ok, it was bad, but like... in an earnest way? like as if a group of college students had a passion project to make a movie, and they only had 20 dollars to either make it, or order a pizza, but they ordered the pizza and still made the movie anyway.
They really had characters sing about child labor and bad working conditions and just never do anything with that. (Honestly such a think can come across like the creators approve of that)

You both are real ones
why is this special actually somewhat competent compared to what Saber and Rishi usually watch
The characters actually almost have a personality. I like it.
love the shiny silver robot the most 'We haven't been officially brainwashed' 'There's nothing wrong with me!' and of course the goth employee girl@@KiboSanti
the gaithers seem to have learned from gaithers pond and dorbees and actually improved
It’s from the same guy that directed Hoodwinked
@@MrTony-rx7tk Cory Edwars also voiced Twitchy and Shinyman 5000, he also directed the fourth and final Gaither's Pond episode and a Netflix movie by Vanguard animation called Fe@rless but he didn't voiced any characters of both films he did
Honestly, the child slave labor song was a banger, on par with We All Lift Together
/s
No fr a trap/womp remix of the child labor song would fucking slap
Gotta admit: the Gaither's Pond guys really improved!
I don’t actually hate this honestly it’s not as bad as I expected it to be it kinda reminds me of cubix in a way.
I've been getting really into Cubix. Do you know where I can watch it legitimately?
What about other CGI animated shows like VeggieTales, Jimmy Neutron and Jakers The Adventures of Piggly Winks?
@@abrahamcortina6322 Kinda but cubix was what I instantly thought of when I saw this honestly
Hey, some honestly good jokes in this, credit where it’s due
This movie actually wasn’t bad compared to Gaither’s other works. The animation quality has somewhat improved, the jokes landed nicely, and I actually grown to kinda like the humanoid robot character.
This looks like a Hoodwink version of the Blue Sky movie Robots
Not gonna lie, some of the jokes in this movie are funny.
Someone check me into a retirement home for understanding the "blue-light special" reference 🤭🧑🦳
Ikr, Shinyman is the GOAT
Was not expecting that "hunting for wabbits" that line was stone cold.
@@nekonomicon2983 Yee! XD
@@m.shields1270 Yeah! XD
Saber, YOU FINALLY DID IT! (now to wait another 5 years for a review)
I remember that He was going to review it but never did ❤
@@neilhannan7525 and he did the nuttiest nutcracker instead
I wish he could
This is what you've been waiting for for five years? Good choice 😂
Imagine being made fun of in the future of having no parents
Human Status: ORPHAN NO PARENTS WHAT A LOSER
Just like Oliver Twist, Annie, Bruce Wayne/Batman, Harry Potter, and Lewis Robinson
It'd be like Portal, which actually made the news for making fun of orphans/adopted kids
I can't get over the fact that a movie that has orphan child labor in it, instead focuses on christmas and almost completely ignores the child slavery in it. Like, what? I thought for sure they would get adopted or somthing but nah, they just gotta keep being miserable lol.
In the beginning they said it was supposed to be a full show Probably planned on a episode involving it
Similar to how Nickelodeon and O Entertainment did with Jimmy Neutron and Barnyard, starting as theatrically released pilot episode movies before becoming shows
why do shinyman and the big head guy have so much chemistry
Shinyman is the GOAT of this specual.
Just like Fender from robots
I remember watching this on smile with a child as a kid.
pretty ironic if you think about it
Does it air on Smile of a Child??
Look yall may drag me for this all you want
But i kinda liked it.
I remember watching this movie when i was about 3-5 years old. I recently remembered a couple of scenes and have been looking for it for years now. Than you so much Saber ❤
You wasted your damn time Saber!!! 😡😡😡😡

@@abrahamcortina6322 Why? Google says it released in 2004.
Compared to all the other stuff we’ve watched on this channel this, while definitely violating copyright laws, this isn’t that bad some of the jokes actually got a real laugh mostly from silver guy
Shinyman 5000 is like a silver version of Fender from Robots
"I can speak French!"
"¿Como esta?"
This was truly a Christmas movie of all time 👍
Holy shit I remember this movie, I watched it a lot when I was at my grandmas place. Also fun fact, one of the distribution companies for this was a subsidiary of FUNIMATION! I am not Bullshiting. It’s called Our Time Family Entertainment.
SHOUTOUT TO EVERYONE WHOS ASKED FOR THIS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS!!!!!
Why didn't Saber review this movie when everyone commented him so many f***ing times but he doesn't respond back??? 😡😡😡😡😡😡
Shiny Man should be on the sexypedia
He’s a rip-off Threepio
I have a feeling that if this movie was more popular, Shiny man Could have been the True father of tumblr sexymen
I would tbh
Shiny Man is like this movie's version of Fender, 3 years before
Its dialogue wasn't extremely bad surprisingly like if Animation Budget wasnt low as hell it would of probs done well
Huh, not as bad as I thought it'd be. There's actually some good potential in it.
I just know I would loved this movie if I saw this when I was little because I like it now
I swear I have a false memory of you reviewing this
I think a clip of the trailer or so appeared in one of his Gaither's Pond videos.
I think so too. Also Rishi's character model is not the newer one looking up.
i think he had it planned for christmas crap but never reviewed it
@@philipphalter926I swearda god, Saber needs to review this movie NOW before it's too damn late!!!! 😡😡😡😡
man, i remember having this movie growing up, this unlocked a core memory.
That binoculars robot looks like the one from Toy Story
And Wall-E
I actually really like the wordplay "im glad i dont sleep at night or i couldnt sleep at night"
Yo ! I remember watching this movie as a kid, it really surprises me to find out that movie that I bought on the supermarket or something like that have a lot of lore behind them like “this movie was the first cgi movie made in Soviet Union” or something like that
Wow, to actually see this getting covered... five years later
childhood film omgg
The Child Labor Song Sounds Like Something They'd Sing In The Nike Sweatshops.
Am i the only one who thought that the shiny grinning robot sorta reminded me of papyrus ?
His personality was giving major Papyrus,
"We all have something wrong with us-"
"I don't! :D"
yeah, papyrus would totally say something like that
5:25 Counseling Box
It really is Amazon.
I oncce saw this, in NO JOKE Cartoon Network, mind you, the Latinamerica one, but still.
This whole movie reminds that one scenes of wall e of those malfunction robots 😭 basically this movie with those characters
“I’m an orphan, sir” 😂
54:30 got me too 😂 "don't hurt him, he's wealthy!"
Nothing says Christmas like an orphan sweat shop breaking out into song. [edit] though the animation is crap, music is subpar, voice acting is tolerable. However, the script and dialogue is not half bad. I got a few good chuckles. It's the class clown of a 3D animation class made a movie.
This movie has probably the most cursed Polish dubbing ever.
I’m enjoying myself with this show :).
But this is the only episode of this now cancelled show that was never made after
The scrap town song, now its really sounding like a certain guys song in South Park Bigger Longer and Uncut
Zak the orphan boy look like Butters
Misfits sounds like I wanna be grown up in its generic-ness
Begging for Goat Story (it’s on TH-cam for free!)
This is the definition of trying. They wanted to make a unique Christmas movie, and they somewhat succeeded
This one movie for some reason cemented "wobots" in my brain. Nothing else about the movie except for the one scene where the kid trumphantly mispronounces the word
How the HELL did this get onto canadian TV?
Did it air on TVOKids?
@@abrahamcortina6322 I'm gonna assume it was YTV because that was really the only cartoon channel I had
@@bigdaddydons6241 interesting
Sorry I had nickelodeon aswell, but I don't think this would air on that channel
7:24 Trailer
7:52 Orphans just don't work like they used to!
18:10 "French"
19:01 _o k_
32:51 Not officially brainwashed
33:19 *ROBO-THUGS!?*
53:12 "German"
54:26 Don't hurt him, he's wealthy!
55:00 Can('t)
Okay, the animation, the human character designs, and voice acting are pretty bad, but a lot of the jokes are actually really funny.
Same with Hoodwinked
Oh my gosh, I've been looking for this movie everywhere, I used to watch this when I was younger,
tho I remembered it looking a lot better. I actually like the movie, probably because of the nostalgia
How doesn't this have more likes ?
Wasted potential perhaps
If the animation was better, the child slave labor song would be a banger 😂
It sounded like a Backstreet Boys song
The longer I watch... the more I start to feel like I watched this when I was a kid-
Is it weird that these robot look like scraped designs from the show Cubix? I might be the only person who knew what Cubix was.
This also looks similar to the Blue Sky movie Robots which came two years after and Hoodwinked was released months after Robots
44:53 - I’m pretty sure that the orange robot is a parody of HK-47, the orange robot from Star Wars: Knights of the old republic. 😂
god ive waited for this day since you first mentioned this monstrosity of a movie
oh my god i watched this when i was little and forgot about it
I forgot about this movie but I remember watching it now
Hey! You finally got to this thing! I reviewed it years ago, and I'm kind of surprised you're getting to it just now.
I had this movie as a child. Loved it
The kid definitely looks like a blond Pajama Sam.
It kinda look like Butters from South Park
I unironically love this movie.
I remember this fever dream!
Nope
I don't know why, but isn't Shinyman voice actor wrote Hoodwinked with two other people ?
Shiny man was voiced by Hoodwinked's director who also voiced the Twitchy squirrel
Please till me there is a review coming of this movie this weekend ❤
Too bad his review won't come until this December
32:13 y'know considering how this was one of those Christian Kids' movies, it wouldn't surprise if they went for... that... with their villain (Psalty the singing songbook did the same thing basically)
I guess I can see it?
And now the kid will move on to become a priest of omnissiah.
All hail the omnissiah.
Overall, it was worth the wait (5 years, Jesus).
Comedy was the highlight, and the characters were honestly pretty memorable. The animation was mediocre and there was definitely some errors. But in the end, an enjoyable movie.
The animation looks similar to VeggieTales, Jimmy Neutron, and PlayStation games
ngl this movie is pretty funny. i might go out of my way to watch it at christmas this year lmao
This was a huge improvement from Gaither's Pond and whatever the hell else. Keep it up? lol
What about Hoodwinked?
This already looks like some balls and I’m literally like 10 seconds in
The scrap town song sounds suspiciously like the Song of the Count from Sesame Street
Why was this film... decent?
Because it is
Y'know, compared to Benjy's past works, this is actually watchable? Like, it still has that cheap Gaither feel with the head movements when the humans speak (tilting, unnecessary swelling, etc.), but it actually isn't horrible?

@@DraconasTenZHGdidn't Wobots came out in 2003?? the same year as Finding Nemo

As a matter of fact, yes. There are many, many, many, many, many self-proclaimed Christians that are anti-Semitic.
Is the Hoodwinked goat Jewish too??
Omg that Iceman joke is from topgun lol
24:43 this is literally Astro Boy
Haven’t seen this in like 15 years. It was on the DVD for hoodwinked iirc
half way through but...
I actually like this movie
The protag looks like the Sims Theme Park PC icon.
Lmao you're right
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING SKFKF
36:18 I genuinely don’t see what they’re talking about, I checked like 20 times, I couldn’t see what star moved. ;-;
I think I’ve found what they’re talking about..? By the left hand side of the robots head, blocked by it in some frames, a star flicks a bit, not sure though..
Wobots in disguise
3:22 This new Nike commercial is looking a little rough
Am I the only one that finds this movie kinda charming in a way?
I remember having this movie bundled with Hoodwinked.
My DVD of Hoodwinked doesn't include that movie
@@abrahamcortina6322 It was on the second disc of the two disc version of hoodwinked.
Ahh the best way to spend a holiday break. Bad movies watch.
Just like the Nuttiest Nutcracker and Elf Bowling
That waw oddly charming
the improvement from gaither's pond is seriously impressive. Yeah its still looks cheaply made, but they clearly were having fun with what they had.
5:24 first Megaman Fully Charged now A Wobots Christmas, I think robot councillors are bad luck☹
What about Robots (2005)
The first song is giving The Wall, but like... The Nostalgia Critic, as sung by a not-children children's choir
ok, it was bad, but like... in an earnest way? like as if a group of college students had a passion project to make a movie, and they only had 20 dollars to either make it, or order a pizza, but they ordered the pizza and still made the movie anyway.
YESSSS FINALLY LET'S GOOOOO
why am I hearing the windows 7 (one of themes) "ding" every now and then?
FINALLY
Fun Fact: This Movie was Directed and Created by Cory Edwards who Aslo made Hoodwinked! Witch you and Steve Reviews should Review it.
We know, why the hell is Sabre not mentioning Hoodwinked and reviewing both movies at all???
hi Saber
If they got rid of the sudden Jesus stuff they could have a decent movie, just that feels like it distracts from the movie.
They really had characters sing about child labor and bad working conditions and just never do anything with that.
(Honestly such a think can come across like the creators approve of that)
