I really like this because it's cute, but it isn't because it's just copying things we already find cute. Sure, a robot dog is cute because it's a dog. This though? It doesn't even have something to resemble eyes that you can look at, but it's somehow still cute.
Or just watch all of Lower Decks, while you're there. Though I do agree that Peanut Hamper is a highlight (for me anyway - I've seen strongly divided opinions on this. :)
Indeed, it's clearly a show that's made by people with an obsessive love of Star Trek as a whole. Most of the really obscure stuff wasn't central to any plots, but it's still a little more fun being able to point and go "oh! The giant skeleton of Mr. Spock hanging from the ceiling! That's from that one weird episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series with the enormous clones!"
Ahh I misspoke, what I call the Peanut Hamper trilogy includes the TNG episode. But Lower Decks season 1 episode 10 is where the artificial life form gets their name, and season 3 episode 7 has the wildest story arc for this character. It’s a real treat!
Please tell me this isn't real! With modern Disney, I'm not even slightly surprised if it is actually being made, but I will be incredibly disappointed.

Sorry, a champion has already been named.
Johnny 5, oh my.
No disassemble!
I have a Gadsden flag with him saying that holding an ak.
Negatory, that would be Wheems from Batteries Not Included.
The "Little Guys," had names‽‽
The babies were Wheems, Flotsam and Jetsam according to my search. I was really disappointed in how few and how crappy the stills from the film.
I assume Wheems is the one that had to be jump started?
Yes, and easily the cutest robot in cinematic history.

Peanut Hamper!
Yeah but they can be the worst at picking names.
Seeing Lower Decks has messed with my memory of the TNG episode to where I now could swear they were sassy and could speak.
Data :))))
WHAT EPISODE
I NEED TO KNOW
TNG season 6 episode 9, the quality of life, but you also have to watch the Peanut Hamper trilogy found in Lower Decks

I loved it, my bf who had never watched Trek before LD, was just confused. To be fair, LD is so reference heavy it's not a good one to start with.

Thanks, I didn't know these robots came from a life action series originally.

There is a 3rd appearance in s4e7 "A Few Badgeys More" with Agimus.
Silent Running (1972)'s Huey, Dewey, and Louie.
Looks like a rock type Pokémon.

It's a meme from a couple years back iirc. Even Disney wouldn't stop so low.
Now, this little guy? I'm all in!
Gonk. gonk. Gonk.
Academy had an exocomp in the background. Almond basket or something silly like that.
I mean… define cute.
Depending… there’s these guys. Data. The dog from dr who, andromeda from starship andromeda.
