wow, i would have cried if i was in the mood x.x;;; i thought the story was very simple and sweet 
The only thing that gets me was the choppiness of the animation. The robot is ok, but the kid seems a bit off. The textures on many of the the objects are superb but the face on the child could use more. I think it all works though, feels like the old video games where the animation was a little choppy too. I liked the beginning where you had a simple pan of the wall, many of the objects looked 2d which made it very original and like the old cartoons. The music was absolutely perfect for the movie too!
I don’t think the French will get anyone off, I think most people with a basic to no knowledge of french would know what “guerre”, “victoire”, “proche”, “revoltent” means, etc. Did you do this alone? How much experience do you have with 3dsmax? I am like so totally inspired to make a short too! Not that I have time…but still! Good work!:bounce: 
OK, I come back to edit my post. I just visited your website. You obviously have AWESOME skills, so I take back everything I said about texturing, etc. I’m sure it must have been on purpose for some parts. Hehe :bowdown:
Have you ever watched the movie Robot Stories? It is sort of like this.robot stories
