Short Circuit is 25!

Happy 25th anniversary 'Short Circuit' and Johnny Five! It was May 9, 1986 you first made us laugh and cheer on the big screen. We learned to say crazy things like, "Your Mama was a snowblower!," "Hello, bozo!," and "Nice software!" You were a most loved and huggable robot buddy. In 1987 Johnny Five was a household name. You were as recognized as Bugs Bunny. Your movie, Short Circuit, was the #1 home video for the year. Hugely popular, your sequel would begin talks only 2 weeks after release of the first. Thanks for all the laughs, Johnny. And, congrats to all those involved in the film. Number Five is alive!
