Ah yes- the robot from the movie with robot in the title. This film is (loosely) inspired by Isaac Asimovs short stories of the same name, which introduced the world at large to the now-famous Three Laws of Robotics. The 2004 Will Smith-vehicle subverts these laws by turning a fleet of robots into mutinous murderers- that is, except for Sonny. Sonny is the quintessential Hollywood robot. He is friendly, he learns cute human traits with his anthropomorphic face, and most importantly he doesnt emit the bright red light that all of the evil robots do (how would the viewers know which one he was otherwise?). Will Smith plays an anti-futurist wary of trusting technology despite having a robot arm himself, but you better believe that lovable Sonny (voiced by even-more-lovable Alan Tudyk) wins him over. And saves his life, repeatedly. Also, hes an ambidextrous artist! Impressive.
