Rare (maybe unseen) Henson film from 1963 - "Robot"

[atttechchannel]

Hi all,

We came across this video as part of our project to unearth the hidden treasures in AT&T's corporate archives. It's a 3-minute piece made by Henson for the 1963 Bell Data Communications Seminar, and features an angry robot espousing its view that the machine is superior to humanity.

You can watch it at http://techchannel.att.com/play-video.cfm/2012/1/23/AT&T-Archives-Robot

We've confirmed with the Henson folks that this was one of Jim's projects - documentation for the original designs can be found here.

Hope you like it!
