Since the family had already defeated multiple robots- they no longer felt like a threat.

So we invented an elevation: these TERRIFYING robots. The scarier the artists and animators made them- the more it felt like the stakes were raised.

If there's no TENSION- the comedy and emotions don't matter- you have to be SCARED for your characters!

Especially in an action-y adventurey movie like this.
Fun Fact: These robots were the only meaningful disagreement Jeff and i had with Chris+Phil.

We liked Stealthbots- they liked Pal Max Plus.

The compromise:
We never mention the robots name in the movie hahahahaha

This we added late + was SO valuable- having moments where Linda+Aaron wanted Rick+Katie to work it out- made the audience want it more!

Plus anyone with a dysfunctional relationship in a family knows- it affects everyone in the family!

It gave the whole movie more emotional reality! Because the emotions of one family member always affect the others!
We had the Furby scene in the movie forever- and it always worked as a funny, psycho scene- BUT- it didn't always work as a story.

Chris and Phil helped shape it a ton (1/3)
