I actually did this once, as part of a Christmas event in high school. I used dominoes to light up a 15-foot-tall Christmas tree. It started at the front door, triggered several contraptions and mechanisms, and ended at the football field on the opposite side of the building. It was amazing.
As a kid, I wondered why someone would step down as a super powerful business executive to play with dominoes for the rest of his life. NOW, I 100% understand and agree
They probably used a physics engine for that scene instead of animating it all. Actually key framing everything would be too time consuming and would look unrealistic.
I would imagine the hardest part would be planing the scene and then at a certain point computer algorithms would do most of the leg work for most of the animation
Crazy, makes no sense, adds nothing to the plot, but my god it's hilarious

+William Clayton I think it works fine since it shows what the greatest robot ever has become after being "kicked out" of his own company... it's a true portrait of our social-cultural-economic system, profit over creativity, and distraction and entertainment to keep your mind away from reality
well considering some of the turds Blue Sky studios dropped in the form of Ice age sequels, they kinda deserved to be put through the hell of animating this
@Joeseph Moore [Warning: lots of text ahead] Even though you do have a valid point, you still gotta consider the fact that quite a big chunk of all dust on Earth comes from space. So it wouldn't be weird if the world where only robots exist had dust. Also, dust, by defenition is a collection of particles of solid matter, which means that dust can be made out of literally anything (as long as it can be solid) and doesn't come exclusively from remains of skin or/and hair. Fun fact: space dust can also have dust particles made from a complex organic compounds (by organic I mean generally any compound that has carbon-hydrogen bonds in it, carbon and hydrogen are one of the most common matter in the Universe by the way).
Wj11jam was probably thinking along the lines that it may be as uncomfortable as swimming in lego blocks. I kinda disagree, swimming in dominos kinda seems fun (and silly).
Before last week, I hadn't watch the movie Robots in years. But even so, I remember this scene in particular, and I have no clue why. And when I was re-watching this entire movie, I felt sad for it, because I feel like it's very underappreciated.
i only saw this scene once as a toddler, i’m an adult new, and it felt like a fever dream each time it randomly came within my memory until i just saw this now again
I like how the line "come on lets make it bigger and better" (not in the vid) hints that he has been here for so fucking long its honestly unbelievable
Me to friend: You haven't seen Robots?! We're going to see it right now! *puts movie and this scene comes up* Friend: this movie is interesting it's so creative, wow... Rodney: idk this is kinda of a first for me Friend *shook*: it's a first one for me wow WTFFFF is going on, DOMINO OCEAN?! 0.o Me: Cracks up #truestory lol
The fact that this exists, the fact that he set it all up and was apparently just waiting for someone to knock it over so he could come out surfing, the fact that surfing was apparently even possible, none of that makes any sense at all, and yet I do not care even one iota. This is the best scene in the film, hands down. I love everything about it.
This is like a summoning animation in a Final Fantasy game. It's really appealing and well animated, yet takes a long time, but boy is it ever worth it.
This is such an underated movie. My mom doesnt like it and some of my friends has never heard of it. I mean, all ideas and inventions in this movie is just genious! The part of travel in a big ball and this scene is 2 extremly well made scenes that majes this movie awesome alone. Really love this movie!
I wonder what was the reaction when the story boarders told the animate that “Ok guys I need you animate a giant sphere robot surfing a wave of dominos with a giant domino” and the animations were like “ uhhhh ok?”
Well i think that this is an a pós apocaliptic world that all humans died and now there is just robots. OBS:I think that the big robot(sorry i forgot his name,i already watched the movie a long time)was a human that put your body in a robot maybie to do this 😶
This always reminds me of Domino Day, a show that was quite popular in europe in the mid-2000s where they build giant chain reactions like this with millions of Dominos in a giant hall. They often made huge colorful artworks and creative chain reactions with them, and this was a live event where they tried to get as many dominos as possible to actually fall, as every year they were trying to set a world record with it. Unfortunately it ended after 2009. Very nostalgic childhood memories, I remember trying to make my own chain reactions as a kid with like a few hundred dominos.
