RoboDog or RoboDog (Marza) was a family comedy film that was going to be made by Marza Animation Planet and directed by Henry F. Anderson III. It was originally set for a 2015 release.

Plot[]

Premise[]

Two odd-couple canines, one is a robot and one is an elderly, real dog, embark on an adventure together to find their place in the world. In the other hand, KC will learn how it feels to be a real dog instead of living his delusional, popular world view complex.

(Note, the plot summary is NOT the official timeline and it's purely by putting pieces together)

KC gets damaged and goes to Luna Robotics[]

KC is a prototype and has a lot of potential, but Mr. Morgan wanted to get him early. Presumably after them taking KC home to show Ashley, KC starts scanning the environment and plays around, at some point KC discover new things like a roomba which he stands on. Not much is known what would've happen as KC damages himself & needs repairs.

Mike will get notified that something important is coming to his shop and he needs to fix it. Mike & Mr. Morgan are both excited to see KC while Mr. Morgan is excited to get him fully repaired, however despite arriving and promised work will be in the way, Izzy tells her dad to go to the skateboard contest as he promised and leave to which KC will be left alone in the shop. KC will see Izzy play with Marshall which he wishes he can have fun.

KC & Marshall will have a dispute, presumably about KC's attitude, then eventually Mike returns with help (the bikers) to improve a head of a robot display that he has to get ready until next week. The bikers will noticed KC and ask about him to which Mike explains about why he's here, his potential and how valuable he is. Vik looks at all the expansive equipment and the company card envelope. Vik secretly puts one in his pocket after Marshall starts growling at him, Bobby will dance with KC until he bumps into the head which he panics and grabs the electric wielder to retaliate but Mike quicky takes it out of his hands. Vik will take this opportunity to leave with him and takes Bobby.

KC kidnapped[]

KC & Marshall are left alone again in the repair shop; KC & Marshall do not get along as Marshall does not like KC's attitude and forces him back on the spot. It's unknown what would've happened, but Marshall gets baited somewhere else then gets locked in his cage by the bikers and they adduct KC. Marshall manages to break out of his cage and hitches a ride on the Bikers' truck.

The Bikers (Vik & Bobby) will kidnap KC (which at one point of the movie, they lied to him they were going to "fix him so they can return him" while presumably showing KC the envelope Vik stole earlier) however, KC will get rescued by Marshall which he reveals to KC that he is going to be sold in the black market if he doesn't escape but he didn't believe him as he heard the aforementioned reason why he is with them but after he accidently sets the bikers' house on fire which it burns down. Vik will carry a grudge on KC which he plans to destroy him after what he did to his house. KC and the Marshall will try to get home but they get chased by stray dogs, and when they were running in the abandoned factory they'll get chased by the bikers as well, they will escape via jumping into the fast-moving river. And at some point, the bikers return to their house and try to get the car working, Vik will start hallucinating KC everywhere and which he starts to develop hatred towards KC.

Not much is known about what would've happened afterwards as Vik will have a black eye in some point of the movie, and at one point, the rottweiler that the Marshall knows will have his own encounter with Vik.

"Teamwork"[]

After they were missing for a couple of days & with the bikers hunting them down, Marshall is tired of KC getting in to trouble & him bailing him out and his self-centered & delusional attitude; he forces KC in a training sequence in which KC *needs* to trust him if they are going to return without the bikers giving them a hard time. After a couple of fails & excuses KC made for himself, he then starts to follow Marshall's orders and this is when he starts to get a hang of it, he starts to trust Marshall to get him out of harm's way to which he has fun training with him. This is the point where KC now learns to trust Marshall, and Marshall not needing to worry about KC messing up again. It's also to note, during this scene, before or after, Marshall will reveal his backstory with the stray dogs and how he met his owners then got adopted which the rottweiler hated Marshall ever since.

At one point of the movie, they somehow found out where the Bikers are coming and set a trap, they forced the bikers to chase after them and they will manipulate a lot of sheeps to force the bikers into a corner. Vik slowly loses control over the bike, and the bike gets destroyed by a train, Vik & Bobby are forced to jump off a bridge, and a river carries them away. Marshall & KC continue their journey and since then, the rodents are last seen there, this could be a hint that the rodents are saying goodbye to them and the duo continue heading home.

reunited[]

Marshall and KC will walk up a hill, and they both were greeted to a beautiful scene. Marshall, remembers this moment back then and he asks KC if he wants to do something fun which KC gets excited hearing this and they run in a puddles then a road fill with seagulls, KC is having so much fun. The flying pigeons grabs the attention of Izzy to which Marshall feels happy seeing her again, KC is filled with joy, but Izzy was happy seeing him too & she asks him to come to her, which KC "feels" something special for the first time and happily rushes towards her and joins Marshall reuniting with her.

Marshall and KC reunite with Izzy, which would've revealed that they were gone for a long time.

(Right not, it's unknown what else would've happened afterwards other than Mike, and Izzy are in serious danger as the bikers come after them and Marshall and KC return to the stray dogs.

unidentified scene[]

It's not known what happened afterwards, but it's surmised that Mr. Morgan & Ashley found KC more damaged after he disappeared and presumably took KC back & he was left alone in the house instead of Luna Robotics, KC was left alone while people where unpacking someone's property and he was upset but then a seagull was pecking at the door which the doors magically open for KC. KC happily runs outside which then he's joined by Marshell, he is excited to see him again, but Marshall reveals that "he is not here" then KC returns to reality and is left alone again in the building. KC is upset knowing this

The Stray dogs again[]

(in the trailer, Marshall and KC is back with the stray dogs but they aren't chasing them) At some point of the movie, KC and the Marshall will come across the stray dogs again, nothing is known what would have happened as the aforementioned rottweiler will tag along with them in the "final battle". And two unknown dogs will also be seen.

"Final Battle"[]

The trio will rush to the Fun Lands park, the trio try to find KC's repairer as they worry about the bikers finding them as they believed that they know where the kinetic dog is, since split up to find KC, Vik tries to hunt down one of KC's repairer to see where he can find him (little does he know that his brother (Bobby) found him already) which Vik ends up assaulting a Ashley who had a tracking device on her hand, he tries to snatch it until the rottweiler came to the Ashley's defense and Vik will say "I remember you" and leaves.

After the kinetic dog escapes from their grasp, they run to a ride which Vik (which as some point of the movie, he possessed the electricity tool) starts to use the electricity tool and maximize its voltage to cause real harm, KC will get everyone out of his way, but Vik ends up electrifying KF to overload his limits. In the end, Vik & Bobby will get arrested and KC, the Marshall & his owners, the rottweiler & his owners will live their lives freely.

Why It Was Cancelled[]

  1. The cancellation reasons are currently unknown.
  2. (Not "THE REASON" either) Recently, new clips have surfaced, due to the trailers and commercials not performing too well, they feared the movie was going to flop. Also to note, despite being cancelled, Robodog did not get any tracking from audience for half a decade until a playlist of cancelled movie trailers was made and Robodog got more attention than it ever had.

Results[]

  • The film was permanently cancelled, and it will likely never be released.
  • Some of the clips and W.I.Ps are being uploaded; however, they are clips not whole scenes, storyboards were uploaded as well. However, it's surmised that the uploader is not allowed to show major scenes.

Trivia[]

  • KC, he is prominently shown only talking to dogs in the teasers but somehow doesn't talk to humans despite showing that he can during the sheep sequence.
  • Marshall, the old dog from the cancelled film, was originally going to be called "Sherman", as revealed in this teaser. He even had a more different and esque themed Sam Elliot-like voice.
  • Since Vik (skinny biker) slowly loses his mind, it's unclear if that's the result of his lack of sleep.
