I bet the Ancients just got tired of babysitting this pointless civilization, so they made the blight, then reprogrammed that robot as a decoy villain to cover their escape from the movie.
A Bobsheaux review that doesn’t immediately get struck down by copyright?
IT’S A MIRACLE!
Well i mean, if you were the studio that coughed up this movie, would YOU want to copyright strike it, therefore claiming responsibility?
Must be a miraclesheaux!
@@Seanatonin DA-DA!

@@yourclairygodmother Thanks. Always nice to meet another Wakfu fan.
A better story involving the blight storyline would be that the reason why everyone split the town was because T Bolt, Tibault, whatever you say the robots name, found a way to use lies about each scientist and spread them around with the people taking sides based on which lies they chose to believe, and the reason he would do that is because the blight could be cured by both scientists working together or something, either way the best reason why he would create the disease could be because he was given a mind and didn't like that he was going to be used as a house slave
To build on your idea, each faction of scientist can't cure the blight on their own. The Technocrats may have technology, but their doctors only know the fundamentals, like tending wounds or broken limbs. The Biotists are highly studied in the medical field, but they don't have the advanced technology to make devices necessary to whip up the cure, like a centrifuge or an incubator.
This movie is based on a graphic novel that's honestly pretty good. It's a shame the movie couldn't capture its charm.
Some graphic novel can be better then some films.
So in other words, the book was better, huh?
I can't believe a biology engineer thought making a creature with TWO hearts was a good idea!?
That kid is gonna heart problems for the rest of his probably short life.
Hey the superhero Midnighter has two hearts and he’s doing perfectly fine. And you have to remember he’s in a gay romantic relationship with Apollo who is very similar to Superman.
Let's see how long this will be up before it gets taken down for copyright reasons.
Don’t jinx it.
😁
So far everything is fine
I think “the blight” should be the least of the characters’ worries! The whole city of Haraway looks like a breeding ground for Tetanus!
The last part reminded me of this fanfic someone wrote about Rainbow Dash falling in love with a sink and then it is implied that she did it with the sink because the doctor tells her she has tetanus and then she basically admits to being pregnant from the sink and that it won’t pay child support.
@@kenthuang436 the fuuuuuck
@@dg4545 Yeah. It’s actually a thing and there’s a guy that made three videos reading part of the story. The story is called But the Kitchen Sink. The guy reading it cracks up while reading the ending and had to edit in a part where he got through it without laughing and at the end he asks what did he just read.
So basically this woman knows what's causing the blight and just doesn't care that her bosses are causing strife because she wants to keep her position of power. Are we sure this is a fictional world
Ok never mind,she didn't know but dang, they could have made this moment better
11:28 Huxley is surprisingly cohesive for someone who was supposedly created by "grafting" together components of various plants and animals. The only hint of that is the stitching on his neck and arms. On that note, why is grafting being treated as its own thing? Its like a city of engineers populated exclusively by plumbers.
“Did that guy just Frankenstein up a baby!?” You clearly underestimate Jeffery Tambor.
plus Vincent Price Frankensteind a grown man
@@aidanbarnes4290 true
Never thought Alexa Vega would be in a movie with worse CGI than Spy Kids 3, but here we are, I guess.
Or that Spy Kids something Time in the title spinoff. She still cameoed in it and the effects in general were so bad it seems made by an alien with vague knowledge of human aesthetics.
I agree with you Bob Tesla does look cute. I bet a character like her could've made for a decent story, but sadly they didn't put enough effort into that. It's like this film took everything that made Edward Scissorhands and Hugo good and just threw mud all over it
Glad someone remembers Martin Scorsese's adaptation of Hugo. Highly underrated.
yes it's how I learned about George Meries and his career from a magician to a film director. If it wasn't for him movies wouldn't be what they are today@@tylerfish2701
This must be a good day for me. I got out of work a little early today, and I just finished watching my first viewing of "Transformers: the movie" and now bobsheaux uploaded a review. Must be a good day.
New Bobsheaux reviews makes me happy
I have one of the books from this and the idea and art is very charming; much more interesting than the pacing from the movie. And from what I understand, the creator of the books is also the guy behind the HP Lovecraft adventure series which was ALSO butcher badly when they brought it to film. Looking at it between this, I think the animation is mostly motion captured given how oddly smooth the movements are.
And Jeffrey Tambor is in this??? I thought he was....uh....you know, especially since this came out in 2021.
Addition: ooof, the music choices in this, they buuuurn. The pop music does not at all work with the setting and tones so I have to question WHY not go with something that mixes well with the fantasy, steam punk setting of the story.
I knew I recognized Huxley's voice as soon as I heard it, that's Jesse McCartney! He was a famous singer when I was growing up, but I know him as Roxas from the Kingdom Hearts series. Funny that he went from playing a character with no heart to a character with two lol
I knew I recognised that voice !
Oh crap! He's struggling then.
Based off of the movies opening alone, Jack and the Cuckoo clocks heart is better
Hey Bob.
I remember I was originally gonna request you to review the Bionicle movies, (which you probably haven't seen), but.... I had to say something else.
I know you get a lot of comments on your videos, and you probably won't see this one.
But I just wanna say.... Thank you. For everything you do. I'm going through a really difficult point in my life. Not only with getting parts of my life in order, but with family matters that are eating away at me.
But your videos, even if I don't share the same opinion on a movie or show.... These videos always cheer me up. They put me in a good mood. They help me get through all the difficult things in my life right now.
So I just wanna say again, thank you. For entertaining so many people the way you do.
The same goes for Raven.
I wish you both nothing but the best.
You guys are a bright spot on the internet.
Thank you.... For everything you do.
Thank you for sharing that with us and please know that we are rooting for you to get through these challenging times and come out better for it. The storms will pass, the clouds will clear and there's a new and better day waiting for you.
@@RavenFoxAudio thank you so much.
When I see Bob and Raven made another video, my heart just lights up.
Maybe the mechanical birds are related to the Chozo from Metroid. How else do you explain both the armored bird beings and the Elysia style location from Metroid Prime 3 Corruption?
I haven't seen the droogs in a kids movie since Space Jam 2
That's the funny thing, they committed utter hypocrisy in the name of progress by that addition.
Still trying to wrap my head around the fact that they actually appeared in Space Jam 2.
@@michaelstrong5383yeah, When Space Jam 2 Axed Le Pew.
Nice to see another review, after hearing that there’s yet another Swan Lake movie that is coming out, you’ve got some new potential content waiting to be critiqued. That one’s gonna be great!
It's on Netflix unfortunately.
@@tylerfish2701 doesn’t stop anyone for reviewing it, but if he relies mostly on physical media to review films, then I can easily understand.
@@EpicJasonX9000 True.
I’m pretty sure the movie in this review is only available on streaming right now. The Wikipedia page for The Clockwork Girl has no info of it being released physically.
@@kenthuang436 uh, I was talking about the upcoming Swan Lake movie, not this film. I even commented on that trailer saying that I’d rather see his review rather than the film itself.
A Clockwork Orange Girl
No mention of the voice cast? What, not gonna say that Tybalt was voiced by Brad Freakin' Garrett?!
And the tinkerer was Jeffrey Tambor.
I was so afraid your channel was abandoned; the last time I checked it out, I saw the Muppet song was a month old and there hadn't been anything else uploaded since. I've loved your channel for years so I'm so glad to see you're still on your A game. You and Raven are such an enjoyable team!
Truth be told, I never heard of "The Clockwork Girl" before, so I'm thinking that your review shall be my first time watching it, I can't wait to see what you and Raven thought about it 😉👍
Welcome back Bob!
I will admit, I do like the character design of the villain, and I think, with the right voice filter, put on top of it the voice he was given, could actually work really well. His plan makes absolutely no sense, but I can appreciate elements of him.
I haven’t seen a Bobshauex video in a while.
Loving the new location, Bobsheaux. It reminds me of the one you used when you started using clearer camera footage. It's very nostalgic.
I’m glad you’re back, this video cheered me up a little.
The movie does have an interesting concept but the story isn’t good, the animation was ugly like you said(some of the characters were creepy looking). The robot girl’s creator/dad does look like he could be a villain, I agree with you on that. What kind of world do they live in?
Hallelujah!
We have been graced with a new Bobsheaux video!
Oh Bob... just wait until you watch the Howard Lovecraft trilogy, made by the same studio... It's quite a ride.
When the world needed them most. Bob and Raven returned!
Making a movie or show is no walk in the park, and it's crucial to acknowledge the hurdles faced by everyone involved. These dedicated teams working at the studios grapple with budget limitations and tight schedules. Instead of pointing fingers at artistic laziness, it's often more a result of the financial constraints within the studio.
Understanding the inner workings of the entertainment industry is key, where studios primarily seek to generate revenue through merchandise and advertising tied to their projects. Having experience in the industry reveals just how remarkable it is that anything gets produced, let alone something of top-notch quality. The process involves numerous complex pieces that must come together nearly perfectly to create an outstanding movie or show. No one sets out to make bad content; it's just an incredibly tough endeavor, fraught with obstacles along the way. Ultimately, even the less successful productions can be seen as a sort of cinematic marvel.
I'll give a little credit, T-bolt's upgraded form does look pretty badass
The way the city divides, it reminds me of the Leviathan series by Scott Westerfeld, though the two factions are called the Darwinists and Clankers.
“And behold I shall be a Blight upon the land! And everything I touch shall wither and die!” - Blight from Batman Beyond
It's astounding the amount of things this film rips wholesale and does nothing with, but the clockwork orange reference isn't the only really weird adult reference in this the ancients and there city is a deadringer for the horror game plague paradise, I can't remember the English name for it
Glad you got around to review this one! I remember stumbling upon it on Kimcartoon and hating it, how this movie refuses to explain why this world has artificial people, or have said people even act as artificial really annoyed me.
Great to have you back Bob 👍Also the guy in 4:25 did not think about wiping when he grafted that lobster claw lol
Anyone else think it’s odd she has a human looking face and not a face akin to Tik-Tok? Guess The Tinkerer created latex. Who knew?
Wow, when your science based society makes less sense than IGOR (2008) that says a lot!
“I was calm on the outside, but thinking all the time. So now it was T-Bolt the general, saying what to do and what not to do. Well, I viddied what to do.”
Man how I missed you two!
For some reason, I can see this whole world of science thing having potential. It would be like the world of Bioshock if it was in a landlocked town instead of under the sea. Even the concept of biology vs. technology playing a part in it. It just needs a better plot... and characters... and more sense.
Great to see you guys again
The King has returned
Finally another review from bobsheaux! My weekend is made.
I can somehow see Huxley turning into Eyedol from Killer Instinct 2013.
Imagine if she met Jack with the Cuckoo Clock Heart
Is that the tower of Babylon from Beast Wars?
There is me, that is Clockwork Girl, and these are my droogs. They are Pete, Georgie, and Dim. This will polish you up for some ultra violence. Wait, it's happening to the narrator, again?
Look who's back! It's been so long! I've missed your reviews.
Great review Bob and Raven!
You two are the best!
Bobsheaux is back 😎 The Clouds are no longer Grey and the Sky is now Blue
10:32 - Oh no it is Alex De Large and his gang!
Well good to see you back Bob. And your new place is cool. While I agree this movie is a mess. But here's my theory/counter argument /rambling for 6:29 Yes the Clockwork Girl is a robot but in this world which seems devoid of computers/computer chips (like the ones in our world) how can he download information into her?
How would a robot made in a Steampunk society be able to learn? Just more proof this movie is bad?
When they said the blight I instantly thought of moral oral
Welcome BACK Bob and Raven! We've missed this Power Couple. I know I Have!
I was not expecting the Executors from Pathologic to make an appearance... but it does make sense to have them hanging around such a miserable looking town. With a plague too!!
I was thinking the same
Why does this look so much with pathologic?
I actually went and checked if this was a Russian film that was maybe inspired by it, but no, it's Canadian. It also came out a year before the remaster of P2... I could see someone or several someones being happy to borrow elements from an obscure Russian game barely anybody would have heard of at the time.
We have Walle at home
Walle at home:
17:42 - Brad Garrett, is that you?
*HE'S BACK!!!*
Honey, get up, Bobsheaux uploaded a new video!
Yay new video 💜
So , you have Carmen from Spy Kids , Roxas from Kingdom Hearts , and Brad Garrett ? 😅
Nice to see you back bob and raven
What is it with movies centered around clockwork based hearts?
Welcome back! Good thing I never saw that movie. Also, nice choice using Animusic. That's a classic.
Never I'd see Animusic of all things to appear at the credits of a Bobsheaux video.
I loved the graphic novel as a kid: a fight between a robot-maker and a scientist who made organic monsters whose creations fall in love. It was brilliant. Suffice to say, this movie was not.
(I'm picturing 'Romeo and Juliet' but instead of The Montagues and The Capulets it's Dr Frankenstein and Syndrome from 'The Incredibles'...)
@@whyiamafs It was kind of like that, yeah!
This is a great birtday present uwu, love the cpincidence
Like clockwork, Rob and Raven knock it out of the park again with a banger review!
Welcome back. The wait was definitely worth it.
The review was great, as always. Shame the box didn't get to eat the movie though.
I think one of the things that is not talked much about this film, is that Wells is voiced by Trinity Herself, Carrie-Ann Moss
Could that Colour Palette have any more Browns, Greys and Greens?
As a color scientist, I can definitively say, no. It can't.
I suggest you review Two Buddies and a Badger (2015), a Norwegian animated kids film based on the singing duo, Knutsen and Ludvigsen. They are a musical group. I loved the movie when I was younger, but it’s now pretty cringe, with the incredibly unfunny humour. The songs are nice though, at least in Norwegian and not the horrible English dub. All the songs were taken from the albums the real-life Knutsen and Ludvigsen made.
What was the name of that "unwound" book, where kids were taken apart and used as organ donors? That's what that purple baby reminds me of.
You know, what if there was a story taking place in the steampunk world, and it’s about a young woman and her travels to a far away city, and what happens on her train ride (which happens to be the most largest and gracious locomotive ever built) over there. A crash, a robbery, or whatever, won’t stop this girl by putting things right and making it to her destination in one piece.
this movie would've been amazing if it were more like a kid friendly Bioshock
For Bobsheaux-Ween, can you review attack of the killer tomatoes, Carrie 2013, Scary Godmother, Pinocchios revenge, killer klowns from outer space, the leprechaun movies, and the 1998 remake of Psycho?
I was thinking that he'd review Descendants: Fright at the Museum (and maybe a few Erma mini-comics).
I have seen Jack and the cuckoo clock heart. It was interesting. My bf and I only watched part of it he could not get through it so I finished watching the rest on my own
I prefer Jack for aesthetics alone.
1:04 Well I have heard it in Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas.
6:40 Your impression of him sounds like Mumbo from Banjo-Kazooie if he actually had real voice acting.
Was huxley named after the guy who wrote the book a strange new world?😊
It was 'Brave New World', actually. Aldous Huxley had an ancestor named Thomas Huxley who was a biologist.
@@themysteriouscrumpet and that is who the character is named after.
@@themysteriouscrumpet yes, it is brave new world.
welcome back, buddy!
I like your new background...tee hee
why are there so many damn pop songs?
7:41 Oh heh we're in the world of Final Fantasy XVI
Great review
How can science be a town’s only industry? Do they just invent something and then never use it for anything?
Sad thing is, I've seen both Brad Garrett and Jeffrey Tambor do worse.
Hey bob and raven
Round 2 of giving Raven nightmares
I think the reason Tesla needed to be educated rather then just programmed with knowledge, was because the Tinker wanted to showed a mechanical person was capable of observing knowledge and information as well as a organic person? I think there a concept in AI theory that talks about it?
The Biotists feel like a bit of wasted potential. They would have been working more to show that their niche of science could do more. That maker air ship out of mutated animals. I think
There’s a book series witch that concept called “Leviathan”
Oh I see you had Get Squirrely on the list too. Aka discount Nut Job... and Nut Job was pretty bad already, imagine what its knockoff is like. The creepy squirrel-human hybrid faces do not help.
On a personal note, thanks bunches for using security officers instead of security guards ❤😊
Ahhh This review was a ton of fun to watch...I'm surprised I missed this 11 months to one year ago.....Better now than never....But yes, the music/soundtrack is questionable at best....Sheesh.
This world's setting reminds me of MTG's Ravnica with the Grafters and Tinkers being the Simic and Izzet Guilds. Only lacking the personality and philosophy behind the guilds.
I like lion, King, two better
It's been months since your "Enchanting Ella" review
I was starting to worry about you
