This is an animated story about an advanced "security" droid and the human girl it befriends. It turns out that the chief executive of the firm that makes these over-powered self-aware killer robots is not a great guy. In fact he seems hell-bent on some form of global enslavement. The story is a bit all-over-the-place, and I wasn't convinced that the villain was anything more than the usual tech company figurehead. But it has its moments and the pace is good, and the kids seemed to enjoy it.
Recommended.
