K-3Balloon Toons series.
Zoe (a girl) tries to involve Robot (an android camped out in her living room) in a game of pillow mountain climbing. Despite Zoe's best efforts, the skill of pretending doesn't come easily to Robot. Eventually he gets the hang of it, and their climbing party is a success. There is some humor, especially in the cartoon-panel illustrations, but tension is lacking.
