This post is a bit late, but it didn't come to mind till I payed a trip to my local library last week .
I was randomly searching the stacks for reading material and I randomly placed my hand on a title that caught my eye.
It was a tongue in cheek survival guide titled, How to Survive the Upcoming Robot Uprising. Just by coincidence the day's date was 4/21/11. To anyone who's not quite up on their Terminator movie trivia, the computer network Skynet was supposed to become sentient on the 21st of April 2011 and launch the robot war on humanity.
It set me to thinking, What are some animated examples of ambitious A.I.s or automatons set on world domination? Not just a random rampage, but an organized attempt to seize control of the planet from what they consider an inferior species. Maybe a single robot's attempt to eliminate it's creator, or possibly a computer that not so user friendly
I suppose the most immediate examples could be
Futurama (99)Epsiode:Mothers' DayEpisode:Fear of a Bot Planet Dexter's Laboratory(97)Episode:Game OverEpisode:UltraJerk2000
The Incredible Hulk(83)Episode:The Cyclops Project
The movies
The Animatrix (2003)
specifically the segmentThe Second Renaissance Robot Carnival(87)
a.k.a.Robotto Kânibaru
Segment title:
The Nightmare
any other examples?
