Pre-viewing
A) Read the film review:

Next Gen is an animated sci-fi adventure that takes place in a futuristic city where robots play
a significant role in citizens' lives. The story centers on the relationship between an angry 12-
year-old girl named Young Mai and an AI (Artificial Intelligence) called 7723 who join together
to fight a villain.
While relationships are at the core of the story, viewers can also expect lots of cartoon
mayhem: robot battles, human fighting, explosions, laser and gunfire, falls, chases, a human
held captive, bullies, and threats to the entire populace. A quick-tempered pet erupts in angry
gibberish to simulate swearing, which is then bleeped.
The film also offers thoughtful messages about dealing with loss, healing, and the importance
of memories in each individual's life.
Based on friendship, love, grief, evil, and justice, this story has lots of characters and story
elements.
