Exploring the friendship between a lonely boy and his defective robot, 20th Century Studios’ upcoming animation is expected to hit theaters next month.

Barney thinks his luck has changed when his father gifts him his very own BBOT, but it turns out the robot, Ron (voiced byZach Galifianakis), is missing some essential code that teaches him safety rules. However, the faulty robot becomes a dear friend to Barney, and the boy will have to go out on an adventure to save his new mechanical friend from the company that wants to repair him before his defective code spreads to other B*BOTs.
