"In this Old West musical tale with 1940s flair, a fearless little train and his engineer confront obsolescence as bigger, faster, and more automated machines take center stage.

Oscar-qualified for the 96th Academy Awards by winning Best Animation at LA Shorts International Film Festival."

[Documentary] "Forgotten robots of Chernobyl: a short documentary" by Chornobyl Family 🇺🇦 (www.youtube.com)

"A new short documentary from us! Many of you watched the HBO "Chernobyl" mini-series and recall the Joker robot that stopped functioning nearly instantly after it was deployed. The true story, however, is much bigger and more interesting. In this episode, we will talk about the remote-controlled equipment and experimental robotics that played a crucial role in the aftermath of the 1986 Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant disaster and the subsequent exploration of the Sarcophagus enclosing Unit 4.

Through our research, we provide an overview of the various types of robots employed from 1986 to 1988 – covering their design, capabilities, and the challenges they faced while navigating the hazardous environment within the power plant. We included rare documental references and archival footage that will help to understand how those machines worked and what it looked like to operate them.

Additionally, using unique documents of the PO KOMBINAT – the main management company of the Zone in 1986-88, we give you a detailed picture of the conditions at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant during that years, which will help you to understand, why some robots succeeded, and others failed."
