A lonely kid finds a robotic friend in Ron’s Gone Wrong, an animated family movie from Disney premiering at the London Film Festival. An endearing mix of earthy values and sci-fi concepts, it takes…
Barney is usually ignored by the other kids at school: they’re too absorbed in their AI sidekicks called B*Bots. These are cute, egg-shaped robotic pets — roughly the size of a cat or small dog — who are connected to the internet and can change color and character to suit the needs of their owners. Their purpose is to find friends and connect people to each other.
It’s a smart visualized extension of the current cyber culture, in many ways only slightly exaggerated. And it drives a huge wedge between Ron and his classmates, all of whom have parents willing and able to buy them B*Bots. When Ron finally gets his own B*Bot, Ron , it malfunctions — but its very flaws may just make it uniquely useful.explores privilege and popularity from the perspective of a hero who finds it hard to make friends. There’s plenty to induce sympathy: he’s bullied, for starters.
While not all the gags land, the film is often laugh-out-loud funny, whether Donka is crashing around the kitchen or schoolmate Savannah is embodying everything that’s wrong about our “like”-obsessed world. Credit to the film’s writers, though, that characters such as Savannah aren’t simply one-dimensional tropes; ultimately the story peels back the layers of several kids to heartwarming effect.
The undisputed baddy here is Andrew Morris , one of the top dogs at Bubble, the company that sells the B*Bots. He’s contrasted a little too plainly by Marc , the youthful and well-meaning B*Bot creator who represents the good side of social media.ultimately tries to have its cake and eat it, but perhaps that’s the most realistic way as a Disney movie preaching off-grid living probably isn’t going to wash these days. One for all the family — just put your cellphones away first.
