Thanks to the game series Five Nights at Freddy's (which I never played), it seems that now everything to related with animatronics must be something horror-related.
Derivative premise aside, this was effectively creepy, even if you can see the "twist" coming from a mile away.
I'm not really sure of how this would work as a full-lenght feature film.

It's a little bit scary for me.but the show and all the stuff you used and did to make it is amazing .scary thoe.
I recently watched The Hug (2018) on Hulu. The story takes place at a Chuck E. Cheese-style kids' party and play area, where a spoiled young boy named Aden wanders off alone and encounters an animatronic that just wants a hug...
Co-directed and co-written by Jack Bishop and Justin Nijm (Stan Against Evil), the short film stars Roman Dean George (The Door in the Woods), Nick Armstrong (Bulldozer), Peyton Noga (The Goldfinch), and Circus-Szalewski (Babylon).
At just five minutes long, this short is brilliantly crafted. The setting, costumes, and atmosphere perfectly establish the tone. The animatronic is impressively designed, and the cinematography is sharp and high quality. The film delivers exactly what you'd hope for given its setting and premise, packing plenty of fun into its brief runtime.
In conclusion, The Hug is an outstanding short horror film that's absolutely worth a watch. I'd rate it 8/10 and strongly recommend it.

Also the panda just looks really strange. What kind of Panda has a skin tone on it's face?
This short is amazing and well made!!! It had well shot visuals, great horror, a little bit of nice character development, and showed us what a Five Night at Freddy's movie would be like, and all of that at 5 minutes. I would have given this short 10 out of 10, if it had an extra 3 to 5 more
minutes with even more well made horror, but this short is still awesome even though it's at 5 minutes.
