What happens

Next Gen is a 2018 animated science fiction action film based on the online manhua 7723 by Wang Nima, and written and directed by Kevin R. Adams and Joe Ksander based on a story by Wang. Starring the voices of Lo Mutuc, John Krasinski, Jason Sudeikis, Michael Peña, David Cross and Constance Wu, the film tells the story of a lonely rebellious teenage girl living in a world where sentient robot technology is commonplace, and a top-secret weaponized robot, who, through a chance encounter, meet each other and form an unlikely bond that they must use to stop a vicious threat. It was released on Netflix on September 7, 2018, and was produced almost exclusively using Blender. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
