While it may not have the production values -- and probably not the budget -- of the Pixar-produced Toy Story movies with which it shares a common theme, the stop-motion short "medialab@night" has nevertheless captured our imagination with its clever premise and lovable cast of characters. Just like Buzz, Woody, and that humorous little pig, the high-tech residents of
MIT's Media Lab apparently also come to life when no one (except a film crew) is watching, with sensor shoes, pushpin computers, and various other gadgets roaming the halls and causing a bit of mischief. This particular film catches them hacking into the brain of our favorite little Gremlin-esque robot, Leonardo (no relation to director
Leonardo Bonanni -- we think), and rewiring him to edit Wikipedia on -- what else -- an
OLPC. Check out the full flick after the break, and just remember this warning the next time your
Robosapiens and
Pleos try using a Dremel to drill into your brain while you sleep...

Dear lord the Quizno's creature grew a whole body. Thanks for making sure I sleep like crap tonight!
It's eating my soul
Wow, that first photo is really creepy. Looks like a Chucky-Ewok hybrid killer.
It's obvious in the first picture that these guys are fans of Pedobear.
That first picture looks like a mutant Mogwai, is that you Gizmo?
Perhaps this is the missing 4th rule of Mogwai caretaking.. "never let them drink espresso"
I wish Endgaget used smiley's so i could face_plain you guys right now for that image.
Ya-know -- I like those automated robots and all... I like stop motion video... I like the Muppets... I can dig what Jim Henson did for us... I love Farscape, I think it's AWESOME! However... that is one scary ass picture! Peps won't even post in here! Come on Evan, bro you can do better than that!
Last time I was this creeped out I kept hearing "it puts the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again" over and over.
Yeesh! I think I soiled my dockers.
It's going to devour my soul!
Hahahah I am so creeped out by that picture yet so compelled to continue looking at it........
Chewbacca on CRACK!
It's some sort of Furby demon.
