I adored this movie for many years since i was 12 18 years ago when i discovered this on TBS thanks to reading my local city's TV guide to see what will play on friday and saturday nights, i watched Heavy Metal, Robot Carnival, American Pop, Rock and Rule and Vampire Hunter D, loved them.
dooooooood, when I was like 10 my uncle had this on at his house, and I watched it and was like wtf.... and then randomly I remembered it and now I'm downloading robot carnival.
Ah now this takes me back. Robot carnival is one of the few that has never been released on dvd to my knowlege. This first started showing on wtbs back in the day then it made it to scifi channel later. The only thing i do have from this is the original soundtrack. I found it at a suncoast before it closed. Hopefully someday this will make it to dvd. Thanks for posting.
My favorite part of that movie! Great over all DVD. And if you don't like a story, wait 15 minutes and get something roughly the same quality but completely different.
Still one of my favorites. The last lines have stayed with me down through the years...Especially "The sun is setting, Dimwit."
Thank you so much for uploading all of these. It does my heart good to see that some people still remember how mindblowingly awesome the old animes were.
I remember Cartoon Network aired this with the last of the cockroaches and Vampire hunter D, i was just a kid back then , but it was freaking great to see those great animes back then ^^
I remember when the Sci Fi channel aired this back in the '90's (when it was a network worth watching)...along with Vampire Hunter D, Lensman, and other very cool things. I think it was when I first really gained an appreciation for anime. So happy to see it here!
I want to know where the guy got the funding to build his giant robot. Did he have some sort of Conquer Japan With a Giant Robot Investment Group or something?
Boy, are his investors gonna be mad when he returns.
English Dub is waaaay better ... my God, the voice action had me cracking up back in the day and I DL'ed the Japanese version... deleted it and came to Youtube. Shinbuden 2x2 another instance where the dub is hilarious.
In the original Japanese language version, the mad professor was actually speaking in english with a different voice actor providing the english voice.
The accents for the Japanese characters aren't actually racist. Just like any other country there are different dialects and accents for different regions, like Kansai vs Osaka. The English dub staff is just trying to recreate the sense of these characters sounding "hillbilly" by giving them weird accents. I really like it. Sounds like a hybrid of Polish and Italian.
YES! I've finally got the chance to watch what I've been looking for so long! for some reason, these few shorts were stuck in my memory when I happened to come across it on TV at a young age.
There are DVDs of the movie that you can buy cheap online, but they're bootlegs in Japanese only and with terrible Engrish subs for the two dialogue shorts. However, if you go on Mininova or most torrent sites you can find a full 4.5 GB transfer from an actual DVD, so if you have the hard drive space and a DVD burner go check that out.
i have robot carnival on vhs and i watched it the other day. In my version the letters that appear at :39 are in English and they say "a tale of two robots - chapter 3: foreign invasion". Does anybody know if any more chapters were made or if "chapter 3" was just added to the name for stylistic value only?
"So many beautiful buildings destroyed, on the other hand this side looks okay."
"Look! The rising sun of Japan!"
"The sun is sitting dimwit."

I think it's rather good for a dub, for once the characters msybe speaking English, but they do it with a lovely accent.~
Other than that, it's pure Japanese comedy, to me that you see later being used over and over in many animes, I think it's wonderful..
Thank you for the upload dear.

It's not even the right kind of accent. It sounds like a fake Chinese one. I think they'd have been less goddamn annoying without an accent.
