Raybot is happy when he and best friends Puppy and Parrot (from Raybot) are joined by Weebot, a tireless little robot. Predictably, Raybot soon finds Weebot annoying and wishes to be rid of the youngster; equally predictable: he then misses Weebot and wants him back. There's nothing new about this new-sibling story; the well-rendered pen-and-ink and oil-paint art, though generic, may hold viewers' interest.

PS
A dejected-looking robot searches the world for a puppy who can be his friend. He finally settles on a parrot who thinks it's a puppy (and barks)...and the parrot comes with its own friend, a (you guessed it!) puppy. While the illustrations use color and space to cinematic effect and animal-noise humor is evergreen, the culminating joke isn't worth the buildup.
