Johnny 5 is ALIVE!

Hello friends! In a previous post, we broke the news that Pixar is re-making the 1986 screwball, robo-comedy hit, Short Circuit.

We here at the Mark and Steve Foundation applaud Pixar’s efforts to stay so true to the franchise while totally reinventing it for the next generation!
