My battery is low and it's getting dark

Oh my gosh what is this from? The one where Wallace and Gromit go to the moon?

[–] Silic0n_Alph4@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aye, laddie, that’s A Grand Day Out. Now be a good sport and pass the Wensleydale, would you?

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Haha, I knew that was the one! Oh man. Good times.

To replenish their depleted supply of cheese, inventor Wallace and his dog Gromit travel to the moon in a homemade rocket-ship.

Worth a watch, definitely.

I prefer the existential dread of the original. πŸ˜€

One day in the distant future, that little guy will be sitting in a museum.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not unless it's a museum in Mars. Bringing it back to Earth would be a massive waste of resources.

Octospider can have a little dream, as a treat.

The Jawas will probably pick it up some day.

That thing was such an inspiration. Also, for once they took some risk and it really paid off.

c3po and r2 are wandering away from it

[–] FaceDeer@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I mean, of course it's alone. I'd be quite surprised if it wasn't. Is this some sort of attempt to get us emotionally weepy about a broken drone?

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If it is it's bloody working

I've binged too many Star Wars animated series not to feel sad about broken drones left behind. β€οΈπŸ€–β€οΈ

πŸ˜†πŸ‘Œ that's freaking good.

Got me into a lamp horror movie vibe by the time the dude shows up.

Marvin the Martian is around, but is good at avoiding the cameras

[–] Harpsist@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Did it not live YEARS past its expected time?

Any chance the rover can like... Repair it?

Great, humans are already littering in space.
