It's worth watching that movie again just to see how really amazing the all-really-real robots are, in an age when the only thing on the screen that's not computer generated are the humans, and not all of them. I've been a fan of 3d effects all along as well, but practical effects have their own strengths and well done ones are a delight in their own right. Even the sequel is still decent, and I shouldn't have to tell anyone how rare that is.
Man, I think that was the real magic behind the show right there. And for a while afterwards, Johnny 5 would show up for interviews on TV, just like R2-D2 and C3-P0 would from time to time. Freakin' awesome.
