Watch Ron’s Gone Wrong

In the animated family adventure Ron’s Gone Wrong, a boy befriends a robot and has to protect his new friends from the bad guys. In the future, tech giant Bubble unveils their latest creation: the B-bot, created by the benevolent CEO Marc Wydell with the intent to make a robot buddy that is designed to help make friends, using Marc's friendship algorithm installed in every B-bot. In the fictional Californian town of Nonsuch, newly 12-year-old Barney Pudowski is the only middle schooler who does not have a B-bot. His former childhood friends, Savannah Meades, Rich Belcher, Noah and Ava have all become absorbed by their individual B-bots. One day, Barney's father Graham, who sells novelties online, and his Bulgarian-born grandmother Donka come to realize that he does not have any friends and empathize when Rich plays a cruel prank on Barney. They hastily go to a Bubble store, but it's closed. Fortunately, a delivery driver had been holding onto a slightly damaged B-bot that had fallen out of his truck and sells it to them.
