"Robot Carnival" is known by many anime fans as "Japanese fantasy," and features creators who would later become masters, such as Katsuhiro Otomo, Koji Morimoto, Yasuomi Umetsu, and Takashi Nakamura.

The film's music was composed by Joe Hisaishi, who is also known for his work on Hayao Miyazaki's films, and it gives each segment a unique atmosphere. Enjoyable both visually and aurally, the film exudes a high level of perfection as an animated work. While the film is almost entirely dialogue-free, the combination of music and visuals creates a rich storytelling experience that moves viewers beyond words.

Video and audio quality: A treasure trove of diverse storytelling
