      Maybe because of how they’re stylized to look like cartoony, out-of-this-world robots? I feel like CG animation tends to not age as well when it’s trying to imitate real things.

    It's so weird, they clearly establish it as a world of robots in outer space, but at the same time, they keep it local to just this warm, futuristic-but-everyday neighborhood, so the world feels big and lived-in while at the same time being small and cozy. I think that's what really struck me about it.

This show; P, B, and J Otter; Bear in the Big Blue House; and the Powerhouse Era of Cartoon Network were some of my earliest memories of having cable. Also to add to the whole Rollie Pollie Ollie & Robots thing is it just me or does Gloomius Maximus, the villain from the first movie, give off Madame Ratchet vibes.

I never realized the guy behind Rolie Polie Olie also worked on Meet the Robinsons and Robots, but it all adds up now.... *oh yea, it's all coming together.* Robots’ world building and atmosphere rivals any other animated film out there; it feels like it was built for a TV show. So many interesting characters and concepts that the single film didn’t get to fully explore. It's a shame, really. And the Bigweld scene where he's storming into the office is what I imagine went down when Bob Iger returned as Disney CEO to replace Bob Chapek

And it included some puppet characters from Rolie Polie Olie. Absolutely a core memory. Did anyone else here in the comments go to this mall tour?

    To think that the creator of this show also worked on Robots and was also the author of the book that got adapted into Meet The Robinsons. MIND BLOWN. Not to mention that whole plot you mentioned of Pappy having a hard time finding the right parts for his model reminded me that in Robots outmodes as they are called are having a hard time finding replacement parts due to villains’s plot involving using broken down robots to make “upgrades” and it’s no wonder why that is so similar considering the fact that the creator of this show also worked on Robots as you said yourself. So it’s no coincidence that they have those very similar ideas as it seems that he introduced that whole idea involving finding replacement parts and the makers of the movie ran with his idea but took it in a darker direction.

    If you're open to suggestions on future lore videos, there are some interesting shows that aired I think only in Canada that I watched as a kid. George Shrinks is an interesting one that I don't remember too much about, aside from the shoe car that can turn into a helicopter. Might add to this when I remember more and/or find a list I made a few years back of all the shows I used to watch, ~55% of which was Canada exclusive due to the CanCon laws.

You guys also still got the actual kids channels, too! YTV and Treehouse! Us Americans gotta go online or get all these expensive streaming services for actual good kids shows. We used to have two channels like that, one was called "Sprout" and the other was called "Qubo" but they got rid of them. Literally the only good kids shows I saw on American tv lately were My Little Pony, SpongeBob, and Pocoyo. Rolie Polie Olie used to play on Playhouse Disney/Disney Junior for us, but Sprout and Qubo had a lot of shows that came from Canada, UK, and other countries. George Shrinks actually played on PBS kids from what i know, but maybe Qubo could have picked it up later on. Qubo did that with Marvin the Tap-Dancing Horse and Timothy goes to School.

When i'd be at my Grandmother's house, I'd go on the PBS Kids website (We didn't have internet ourselves until 2015) and play games. This one time, I discovered there was a videos section so I click on it and discover all my favourite PBS Kids shows were on it, since we did get PBS Kids through Satellite. I was so disappointed to discover that it was region blocked and that I couldn't watch Wild Kratts and Wordgirl while my grandpa was watching the news on the tv. We actually also had BBC Kids available to us through Satellite so I was exposed to plenty of british shows like Art Attack.
      As far as I remember though, my favourite cartoons were Martha Speaks, Wordgirl, My Little Pony, George Shrinks, Rolie Polie Olie, Wild Kratts, and the classic looney tunes since we had Teletoon Retro and every saturday morning I'd be up early to watch The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show reruns.
