The Princess and the Robot (1983) – Full Plot Summary & Ending Explained

Read the complete plot breakdown of The Princess and the Robot (1983), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.

On a small, heart-shaped planet, a pulsating star shoots through space and crashes onto Carrotland, striking a robot who dreams of the kingdom’s princess. The robot, Robozinho André Luis (voice), becomes smitten with Princess Mimi Flora Maria Fernandes. He enters a tournament to win her hand, facing many opponents in a bid for love and glory, among them the jealous Lord Coelhão Araken Saldanha. The contest ends in a draw, and a dramatic coin toss is invoked: Raider chooses tails while the robot picks heads, sealing a fateful turn of events.

The wise King Marthus Mathias declares that the robot can win a real heart only by journeying to the pulsating star, retrieving it, and placing it inside his engine. He is given three days of Carrotland time to complete the quest; failure means the Princess’s hand goes to Raider. As the robot makes his way through the streets, Raider launches a vicious counterattack, using a radius packer to stuff people into gift boxes before sending the compartments far from Carrotland.

The mysterious package crashes on Earth, landing near Jimmy Five’s backyard. On Earth, Mônica Marli Bortoletto and her friends rush toward the booming noise, open the container, and free Robozinho. He recounts how he arrived and why he needs a heart, and the group decides to help him, enlisting Franklin to build a ship capable of transporting him toward his destiny. Meanwhile, Raider’s dragonfly ally, Bugeye, watches from behind a rock and tips off his master that the children are plotting to help the robot find his heart.

What follows is a tale of courage and friendship, as a band of Earth kids joins a nonhuman traveler on a desperate mission to fuse science with humanity. The journey will test loyalty, ignite unlikely alliances, and push Robozinho toward a future where a true heart might finally exist within a machine.
