It took him six years, upwards of £20000, and it looks like he learned to code to build Johnny 5! What an amazing thing! Yes, a labor of love! I wonder how many rewatches of Short Circuit he had to have to figure out components, and get the look right!
You have no idea what seeing you build him meant to me 😭 Short Circuit was such a big influence on me growing up as a little budding robot loving artist. Thanks so much for bringing J5 back to life 🤍
Thank you so much for rebuilding Johnny 5! Not only did you rebuild him, but he’s in the best home he could possibly be in! You have no idea what this robot means to me in my life.He got me through the toughest times as a kid, and to see him back in 2024…. I’m tearing up. Thank you.
So lovely to see Johnny 5 still alive! He's one of those loveable characters that you instantly want to hug. Those lovely clear eyes, just so innocent. Absolutely beautiful. This isn't a model or toy, this is art, this IS Johnny 5. He's just adorable. I can't even imagine the work and hours put into him, but he's perfect. Has he met Steve Guttenberg, Ally Sheedy, GW Bailey at Comic Cons? He absolutely needs to. I love Johnny 5, he's almost the robot version of ET
what an amazing build mate. I just rewatched the films recently, and they're absolutely as good as my childhood remembers. And now years later, a fan with the skill and ability built a faultless working replica. Fantastic effort and it's great to see you getting appreciated for it. subbed
I love him so much. I like most 80s kids have fond memories of Johnny 5. Back in the 80s I don’t think it was even possible to build a version of him as functional as that. A lot of the shots were of pupated versions. With AI what it is now give it another 40 years and it will probably be possible to make an actual Johnny 5. As is you could audio sample from the movies and use AI to replicate the voice to anything you want him to say.
That scene where Johnny 5 Tarzans to get Oscar, while bleeding battery fluid, sparks all over, with the "i need a hero" background music, always causes me to tear up. 🥲
If the folks who built R2D2 replicas for recent Star Wars productions can go from being hobbyists to being involved in real film production, this man should be involved with a new Short Circuit movie. ❤
I adore him so much and you've put so much love and time into him. Everyone you meet who knows J5 cherish him. I hope one day I can meet him and the family!
God bless you sir! I am emotional as this takes me back to my 80s childhood. Always remember the scene whe Johnny got left for dead by thugs with crow bars. Absolutely loved SC1 & 2 and Flight Of The Navigator 😢😢❤
Its amazing that the movie prop creators of these robots started from scratch and created these working models in months instead of years. They were very well thought out as well. The crouch, stand and stair climbing, all terrain capability is something we still don't see in commercial robots. Very impressive. There is one YT video shows a machine shop during Covid making parts for J5 they never completed the project due to other business. But, IIRR they were going to make their CAD drawings for hip swivel and shoulder mounts available.
Johnny 5 is Alive!!! Short Circuit was a part of my childhood and it’s a shame I never seen any action figures for this cult classic but seeing this story of you building him during the pandemic made me feel like a kid again. I’m glad you were featured on BBC News.
When I was a kid, I always wanted to have a real life-size replica. Seeing how little you can do to achieve a result like this is just amazing! This is wonderfull!!!
I can’t believe you did this. Awesome job. That’s better than movie set quality. I bet there are prop guys from the original movie who are stunned by this.
Danke an euch für das Video und an dich der in steuert du bist mein Held aber ein Fan bin ich nicht wirklich ich fand in schön als Kind absolut Klasse Jonny 5 Nummer 5 ist mein Liebster Film auch wenn es große brobleme gab so wie ich gesehen habe. Ein großes Dankeschön an alle vom Film bis hin zu dir. Wehr schön wenn ich dich mal live sehen könnte Jonny 👋💯
This has got to be one of the best replicas I have ever seen. I'm so glad you have made this iconic movie legend come to life. Well done, you have got a sub from me, and I can't wait to see what you do with j5 hey laser lips 😂
I have traits that are similar to Asperger which are intense laser focus on special interests. It enabled me to go above and beyond to get the wow factor out of many DIY projects I've accomplished on my own. I'm really curious if we could be similar? Love the robot! The movie gave me lots of good memories....
This is so cool! I would love to see him in person some day. The closest thing I have is a Johnny Five model which I'm not complaining at all. But I've never seen a full size one in person before.
Well done for such a brilliant replica of a cult classic man, you deserve all the love you get.
Thanks for pinning the comment 🙂
Johnny 5 is a suuuuuuuper underrated 80s icon

@@dvferyance.....................You haven't seen the movies, have you? It's his most iconic line!
@matthewkuscienko4616 I have seen it many times
Man, I only got to see this now. Top job, I can't even imagine the amount of time you must have spent on it! Looks great.
This is Epic
Thanks so much for building him.

OMG!!! Short Circuit, Johnny 5 is alive. :)
Well done bud. Recreating my and many others’ childhoods. Johnny five is such a legend

Thanks for the kind words buddy, I'm glad you like him 😊
I know it's just a robot that's operated by remote control, but it's somehow very lovable. Simply beautiful ❤️

That replica is Insane!
It's clear A lot of people love him. You made a lot of 80s 90s kids happy
Simply amazing. Wow. Such talent, detail and love put into him. Congratulations sir! You’ve brought many people back to their childhood.
Absolutely amazing.
Great job! Glad Johnny 5 has a family to live with that appreciates him! 👍🏻❤️😎
If the folks who built R2D2 replicas for recent Star Wars productions can go from being hobbyists to being involved in real film production, this man should be involved with a new Short Circuit movie. ❤
Absolutely amazing job!!
This IS the droid I was looking for!
Johnny 5 is right up there with WALL-E and Baymax as lovable robots that seem to be more human than a lot of people nowadays.
So cool. I just seen the movie for the first time today and I'm already a fan. The second one anyways, I haven't seen the first yet.
Talented guy, this is awesome! Love Johnny 5
Just watched Short Circuit 1&2 with my 8yo step daughter and now I find this??? 😱
You absolutely rock man 🦾
AI knows what you're watching, LOL!
I adore him so much and you've put so much love and time into him. Everyone you meet who knows J5 cherish him. I hope one day I can meet him and the family!
Omg how did he make such a perfect replica!
Wow great work. Love the movie
Heeeeere's Johnny!!
God bless you sir! I am emotional as this takes me back to my 80s childhood. Always remember the scene whe Johnny got left for dead by thugs with crow bars. Absolutely loved SC1 & 2 and Flight Of The Navigator 😢😢❤
That's a joy to see! I've wished a long time that someone would finally resurrect Johnny. Well done, indeed.
Wow, great work!!!! 🤩
Thank you! 😁
Johnny 5 is so closed to my heart...and im so happy that many share the same love for this beloved character
Very cool
thanks!

I think Johnny 5 should have his own TV comedy Series or a brand new version of Short Circuit movie since the he's very population from 1986.
Isn’t it nice when there’s nice news for a change
just awesome. You are a genius, sir. I am overwhelmed by them and their work. Kind regards from Switzerland

We make mintures too!
When he was dancing that was a little too accurate, made me go wide-eyed. Really great reproduction.
Tears of joy .my childhood right there 🥲
Incredible! ❤
Thanks!
This is amazing. thank you for sharing online as well. This is so nostalgic.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely Fantastic! I love Johnny 5!🥰

Johnny 5 is alive!!!
This needs to go into a memorabilia museum, too good to go unnoticed in history.
When I was a kid, I always wanted to have a real life-size replica. Seeing how little you can do to achieve a result like this is just amazing!
This is wonderfull!!!

That is INCREDIBLE!!
Wow! I never would have guessed it was a fan-made replica! Well done!

Love how you've kept J5 true to the original. Absolutely awesome, well done mate 👏🤖👌
Are you sure? He got a Gold finish at the end of the 2nd movie 🙂but yeah i like this version
@@Pretender6 And the guy says, you're right, takes a baseball bat to him and starts building the gold-plated one from scratch.
This is just magical!!! Little J5 is still alive!💖💖💖💖
Oh man I loved Johnny 5 as a kid!

Great work.
Джонни 5! Как бы мне хотелось увидеть его и сфотографироваться!
I just ordered my replica. Can't wait!
"Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?"
I can’t believe you did this. Awesome job. That’s better than movie set quality. I bet there are prop guys from the original movie who are stunned by this.
Been lucky enough to meet the guy, my favourite film
"Johnny 5 is alive!" a fantastically accurate, full function replica, our AI overlords will be pleased.
I, for one, welcome our new robotic overlords!
@@Johnny5Replica Be very careful what you wish for.
I'm quoting a Simpsons meme.

Now he just has to build #s 1 through 4 and program them to do Three Stooges routines.

If I saw Johnny 5 in person, I think I too would break down into a sobbing mess.
