Get ready for an adorable, heartfelt, and visually spectacular adventure with Different Robot, the new mobile experience by artist Anna Frants!

Inspired by the emotional depth and quirky charm of classic Pixar animation, this app tells the story of Anatoly, a small, robot hand who doesn't quite fit in with the other, more specialized bots. While they’re all busy completing complex tasks, Anatoly just wants to... make art.
