Robot Parade is an excerpt from Rob's and my work-in-progress, Galaxy 6 MovieMix, an animated science fiction anthology of futuristic, steampunk, mind-bending, sometimes incomprehensible and always amusing short movies as seen at the Galaxy 6 MovieMix theater floating amongst the stars. Watch for references to Man Ray, Paul Klee, Juan Miro, Brave New World, Spike Jones, and even our favorite 1960s windup toy...Mr Machine!
