Jaak and the Robot (1965)
In this charming Estonian/Soviet animated short, Jaak invents a robot designed to handle all his homework, allowing him to indulge in laziness. As his reliance on the robot grows, he decides to send it to school in his place. However, the tables turn when the robot becomes infuriated by this betrayal and retaliates against Jaak. The story cleverly explores themes of responsibility and the consequences of taking shortcuts, all wrapped up in a delightful, whimsical animation style.
