On [[Jenny Sanderson|Jenny Sanderson's]] eighth birthday, her father, [[George Sanderson]], purchases her a [[Chibi-Robo]], a small robot whose goal is to bring happiness to everyone. Because of the family's financial problems and Mr. Sanderson not having a job, [[Mrs. Sanderson]] (his wife) gets angry at Mr. Sanderson for spending so much Moolah during such a time. | On [[Jenny Sanderson|Jenny Sanderson's]] eighth birthday, her father, [[George Sanderson]], purchases her a [[Chibi-Robo]], a small robot whose goal is to bring happiness to everyone.

Even though the family is in a critical financial situation, they celebrate [[Jenny]]'s birthday with Chibi-Robo and [[Telly Vision]]. [[Day Cycle|Night]] eventually comes and the family goes to sleep ([[Mr. Sanderson]] being forced to sleep on the couch as [[Mrs. Sanderson]] is still mad at him), while [[Chibi-Robo]] goes off to explore the house.

[[Day Cycle|Night]] eventually comes and the family goes to sleep ([[Mr. Sanderson]] being forced to sleep on the couch as [[Mrs. Sanderson]] is still mad at him), while [[Chibi-Robo]] goes off to explore the house. He and Telly Vision soon find out that all the toys around the house can move and talk. Chibi-Robo befriends them and starts helping the toys out with their troubles. His adventure around the [[Sandersons' house]] continues. Eventually, Chibi-Robo finds a large robot in the basement with a missing leg called Giga-Robo, who was once a companion of the Sandersons, but had to be deactivated due to its high electricity consumption. Chibi-Robo attempts to revive Giga-Robo by fully charging its massive battery using the Giga-charger and makes it a goal to find Giga-Robo's missing leg, but is attacked by spider-like robots called Spydorz. | ||
When George purchases yet another toy, Helen locks herself in her room and tells him that she wants a divorce, prompting the rest of the family to do housework in an attempt to make up for it. Meanwhile, Chibi-Robo finds a strange pattern in the backyard and uses his radar to contact an alien species. Once the aliens land and greet him, Chibi-Robo uses a time machine made by the visitors to go into the past to find a code to enter a safe in the master bedroom containing Giga-Robo's leg. He returns to the present to open the safe, but several larger Spydorz are released and capture the Sandersons. It's revealed that George originally created the Spydorz to be friends with the Chibi-Robos, but his toy company reprogrammed them to be hostile (it is unknown why), causing George to quit his job. George upgrades Chibi-Robo's blaster weapon, allowing the small robot to defeat the Queen Spydor, recover Giga-Robo's missing leg, and rescue the Sandersons. George apologizes for lying to Helen, and the two reconcile. Once Chibi-Robo fully recharges Giga-Robo's battery, reattaches his missing leg, and finds the passcode needed to turn him on, he reactivates Giga-Robo, and the aliens meet them in the backyard. The aliens explain that the toys are able to walk and talk due to a request from Giga-Robo to give them life and to give all Giga-Robos infinite battery power to prevent their energy consumption. The aliens could not do the latter at the time and returned to their own planet to obtain the item necessary to grant Giga-Robo's wish. They then give Giga-Robo this ability, who shares it with Chibi-Robo and the rest of the robots in the world as well, eliminating the energy problem. | |||
