That anecdote with Robin Williams performing a whole routine just for you was the most heartwarming thing I've heard in years. Everyone who met him has good things to say about him. Great man.

The thing I admire most about Adam is his child like enthusiasm for his craft. You can see his eyes light up every time he talks about his passion. What’s impressive is his ability to connect with all types of people, not just those in the maker sphere. You can’t help but get excited along with him. It’s completely infectious.

2:11 It's fascinating to look at the face and clearly recognize Robin in this form, but I also find it makes me a little melancholy, seeing him staring out at you, and knowing that he's gone. In a way, it's an even greater feeling than if it was a latex one-for-one of Robin's real face.

I worked on this movie as well! I played a guard in the World Congress scenes. Chris Columbus the director wanted to see my costume so they had me put it on and model it for him. Robin was with him. He was so kind and friendly. I remember that during filming, Robin would change out of his makeup after filming all day then come back in to the set to crack jokes and keep the crew going as they filmed shots of the background actors. Such a great guy who is still missed by the world.

Oh man, wasn’t expecting to tear up to a video about a costume. Adam reflecting on Robin’s performance for him just had me thinking about what a great man Robin was, and what an immense loss his death was to all of us.

This movie is a heart breaker and a philosophical journey. Robin Williams and everyone involved absolutely crushed this master piece.

The fact that the suit looks to have more presence through the screen than the people standing next to it during the 4:59 and 5:40 sequence speaks volumes about the artists and designers hard work! Its absolutely insane to create that kind of presence in an in-animate object!

Such an underrated movie. It's still one of my favorite movies today. Seeing the props this close is a dream for a fan. Thank you Adam!!

I don't know if any comedian will ever be missed as Mr Williams is missed... He was the most funny, good hearted and humble person, and the tragic conditions of his diaparition only add to the heartbreak it's been for so many of us. Growing up with his wonderful movies and stand up comedy at its finest has been a gift and I still feel today real sadness when I think of this loss. Thank you Mister Williams, we love you mate. 💔

Robin Williams was one of my all time heroes! He meant the world to me through his acting and all the other work he did, along with his amazing personality (off camera) and he was nothing but phenomenal! He left us far too early! Wherever he is now, I am convinced he's got everyone around him laughing so hard they can't breathe! He is surely missed and no other can ever take his place! ❤❤❤❤❤

I've been waiting and hoping to see this after seeing it in the background of all the prior videos. Bicentennial Man is one of my favorite nostalgia movies. Caught it on video for the first time not long after it came out and its always been a cherished rainy Saturday kind of movie to watch. I love the artistry and technical prowess that went into this costume. Definitely one of a kind.

This is just more impressive that I remember formmthe film, it is basically a great practical FX piece. The face is spot on and the joints really give him a Metropolis style. I can almost imagine this as a real robotic unit that you can turn back on, and somehow imagining Robin coming back to life inside that suit.

Andrew the most human robot with a big heart.... :') the fact this costume still exists and well taken care of makes my heart smile bright.

You should check out his early works first so u can grasp his humor and personalities of acting, that he can turn on instantly. The industry used him til they broke him.

Adam's stories of Robin rival how incredible that suit is.

Loved hearing the personal stories of Adam's encounters with Robin on the set of that film. It's one of my favorites and I've been a fan of Robin Williams since his Mork n' Mindy days when I was a kid. Broke my heart when he passed away.

Robin Williams was a legend. I was also on the set of Flubber. They filmed it at my alma matter when I was there (not as an extra, they just let students stand just off camera silently). They shot a big scene in the classroom I was in. So cool. So cool that Adam and Robin got to joke on the set of Bicentennial Man.

It makes me happy to see Adam gushing about a prop from my absolute favorite movie. This is the movie that helped me make up my mind about going to engineering school, and Adam and Jamie further cemented that for me when I was growing up.

One of few movies that makes me cry every time. The first time I saw it when it came out, and even more now.

A hugely underated film and a phonominal performance by Robin.

Woohoo! We actually worked on the same movie! I was a comper at Tippett. My most involved from from this film was a post editing fix. A scene where he fell out of a window I think, during which his head gets damaged. Since the scene was cut he had to not have that crack in it, so I had to do digital surgery and repair his head. Sadly, I did not actually get to meet him. 😢 Digital, at that time, was far enough after the actual shooting of the material that we rarely interacted with talent.

I remember having such a wonderful emotional response to this films when it came out! Robin will always be one of the greats in my book❤ incredible costume/prop and in AMAZING condition. A credit to all the folks who worked on it and in it!! Thanks Adam and Co.!

Some friends and I asked each other to name the one prop from a film that they would want for themselves. We got the usual ruby slippers, whip from Indy, the One Ring etc... I told them that I wanted a little beat up watering can from Silent Running. That movie was very emotional for me, and the ending with the robot watering the plants in the last dome is very hard to watch without crying.

I am Steve's archivist, and this is one of my favorite pieces! I have so many photos and videos of the making of this suit in Steve's archives. There was a really cool phase where they had a table full of heads that were all brightly colored like the iMacs of the era. Such great work!

Thank you for sharing your Robin stories. He's the only celebrity whose death I mourned, and I'll never not love him.

One of the most underrated films of all time, as well as the best adaptation of Asimov's novels put to film. This was one of Robin's best performances. The advertising didn't do this film justice. When I saw the trailer for this film before its release, it made it look more like a family comedy, mainly because Robin was more well known for his comedies. But he was also able to make you cry, and be dramatic. Instead of laughing, I ended up crying. The only other film that made me cry more than Bicentennial Man was A.I. when it came out two years later. Both films are underrated science fiction masterpieces, imo. If there is one story that doesn't need another adaptation, it's this film, No one can ever beat Robin's performance as Andrew. R.I.P.

i will always love a good robin williams story

I could honestly listen to Adam for hours, waxing philosophically about his connections to pieces of film history that pop up into his lap from time to time.

i have a deep soft spot for Bicentennial Man and one i've been meaning to rewatch again. just his performance is enough to fill me with joy

I used to own an arm from one of these suits, had it verified by one of crew who made them... it was really well made and very interesting to look at up close, the inside was like a fibreglass type material with vacuum formed outers and the rims that connected to the shoulder and wrist were some form of metal or aluminium... the elbow joint literally folded up into itself. I should never have sold it 😒, a highly underrated movie too with a beautiful soundtrack!

I have watched 'Bicentennial Man' a couple of times a year, every year, since I bought the DVD on its release. The couple of times I deployed to the middle east I made sure I had a copy on my laptop.

A crying shame this movie is not on Blu-Ray. Such a wonderful film. I purchased it just last week. Realised I didn’t own it and it’s only on streaming and DVD. On a sad note, I also recently watched the “Night at the Museum” trilogy. Robins performance in the final movie reduced me to tears. Knowing it was his final film. 😢

I actually have a real soft-spot for Bicentennial Man. I have a deep fondness for that film, for the time I was at in life when I watched it. I really liked it, didn't understand the criticism. Very heart-warming, wonderful cast and a lovely story. William's character was great and I enjoyed his journey to humanity. Thank you so much for this wonderful look at this amazing movie costume.

No! You cant replace the greats with cheap imitation

Bicentennial Man is one of the rawest portrayals of growing up with autism that I've ever seen. I rewatched it with my mom recently and I believe there were four separate moments where we both cried. She gave up a *lot* of opportunities to give me the best shot at happiness, because I am autistic, and when I was a preschooler doctors refused to diagnose me with autism, even though her child psychology textbook spelled out in plain English "this is my own son they're talking about".

I loved that movie as a kid! And would probably love it if I saw it again today. Robin was such a gift to humanity. It's so sad that he had to struggle the way he did. He who gave so much and was so kind to everyone around him.

Two of my favorite celebrities in one video Adam Savage and of course Robin Williams!

Fantastic piece of art and equally some fantastic stories. This movie was a family favorite of mine when we were growing up so we re-watched it many times. It tackles all the big questions and is funny whilst it does so, deep and emotional when needs to be. With the rate AI tech, robotics and other "future tech" etc is going it's hard not to think Robots/Androids or digital creations with a measure of sentience won't eventually show up, perhaps even within our lifetimes so the issues tackled in the movie may very well become more meaningful as we truly enter that age and tackle the meaning of life and what makes something or someone human.

I watched this movie once as a kid and never again, this movie absolutely tore me apart. Don't think I'm brave enough to try it again. Robin was an amazing treasure to my generation, and I'm glad that I was alive to see all of his stuff. Truly miss him and I'm filled with regret to not have attended one of his live standups. I'm glad we still have people like Adam around to tell us how much of a joy it was to be around such a person.

This is actually one of my favorite movies. I bought it on every format it's been released on until I finally got a digital copy and that was the last one I bought. I try to watch it once per year, sometimes more often. It's a great film for when I'm feeling creative and want a fun movie on in the background but it's also a film I can sit and watch from start to finish and never find it tedious or even too familiar. I've likely seen it at least 50 times but I always find myself enraptured by the performances, the robot suit, Robin's character journey, and the supporting cast (especially Oliver Platt) all doing their best to make a masterpiece of futurism cinema. Thanks for sharing this. As much as I miss Robin and the gifts he gave to the world, I'll always treasure this film as high on my list of not only favorite Robin movies and favorite sci-fi movies, but just favorite movies in general.

The novel " Positronic Man" was adapted from his earlier book "The Bicentennial Man". Also it was written with author Robert Silverberg.

This movie is underrated, especially since it's dealing with a.i... it's a timeless flick.

I LOVED this film. I agree with the comments that state it is underrated. I watch it whenever it pops up streaming somewhere. Probably in my top 5 favorite movies.
