Nun Soup
Over at Worth, TheNightfly pointed out the resemblance between the star of Pixar's 2008 release, "Wall-E", and Johnny 5.I've long been (mildly) critical of "Lilo and Stitch" for what I perceived as a blatant recycling of the plot of "Iron Giant". However, this mention of "Short Circuit" reminds me that it was, in fact, an earlier example of the "incredibly destructive war machine develops a conscience and makes friends" plotline.
Was it the first? Anyone got an earlier example? I'm guessing there were earlier sci-fi books or short stories, maybe a Twilight Zone episode, but I can't think of anything offhand. And it's important that I know. I'd hate to think that something starring Steve Guttenberg was actually original.
