    Love, Death + Robots: Volume 3 (Netflix)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj2b0swdpX8

    'Night of the Mini Dead' looks awesome, as does the one with the murderin' rats, and of course the return of '3 Robots'.

    9 shorts. Looks like a slightly better mix over all than volume 2. Looking forward to it!

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Night of the Mini Dead was classic

    Yeah, that was a really good one. "Zombies? Not in my country!"

    "Mason's Rats" was also really good, that and NOTMD were my top two. The follow-up to 3 Robots being in third.

    There's the odd one where I'm a bit 'so what?', or they look great but I don't really connect with them (e.g. the one with the bejewelled woman in the lake was quite visually spectacular, but I didn't really get hooked by the story).

    I also really enjoyed the one about the cybernetically-augmented bear.

    Seems volume three has brought back some more of the violent chaos and crude humour of the first volume.

    "the one with the bejewelled woman in the lake" - I loved it - Jibaro - WOW!

    EDIT: Just ended up:-
    1) Watched that episode again with the amp cranked up. Love it!
    2) Ended up clicking thru s1 and s2... I'd forgotten how many great (quirky) little gems there were in there too!

    Jibaro was visually splendid, but with no dialogue and no real story, I didn't really get connected to it at all. Again, visually it was superb and quite inventive and colourful.

    There's quite a few treats strewn about the various volumes. Something to suit a variety of tastes.

    Sometimes there's shorts where I end up thinking "what was the point of that story?", with so little of real consequence or apparent purpose happening, but those are rare over the piece.
