Music that Imprinted on you as a Child

I always felt bad for the robots. It felt like they had a soul

Huey, Dewey and Louie were the bomb... they may have defined the idea of "little helper robots" in cinema!

AI says: "In the 1972 science fiction film Silent Running, directed by Douglas Trumbull, the three robotic drones used to tend to the last remaining forests on Earth are affectionately named Huey, Dewey, and Louie. These names were chosen because calling them “Qui”, “Quo”, and “Qua” (the Latin names for the ducks) would have been cacophonous, according to the film’s production notes."

The robot hall of fame says:

"Huey, Dewey and Louie
The robots Huey, Dewey and Louie were inducted into the Robot Hall of Fame in the same year as the T-800 Terminator, but the contrast between them couldn't be greater. These aren't sleek, unstoppable cyborg assassins. These are non-talking robotic worker bees that waddle around awkwardly, performing maintenance and other duties on the domed spaceship Valley Forge.

At the outset of the 1971 movie, "Silent Running," the robots aren't even all that interesting and are known only as Drone 1, Drone 2 and Drone 3.
"

Sorry for the off-topic... I just have a soft spot for the movie "Silent Running."

Edit to add... here's a graphic I found...
