David, a robotic boy—the first of his kind programmed to love—is adopted as a test case by a Cybertronics employee and his wife. Though he gradually becomes their child, a series of unexpected circumstances make this life impossible for David.
Editor's Verdict
"While 'A.I. Artificial Intelligence' is not explicitly a traditional Christmas movie, the entire inciting incident and the initial setting of David's adoption occur during a significant Christmas event (the introduction of the Mecha family). The desire for unconditional love and family connection—core Christmas themes—drives the narrative, even if the majority of the subsequent plot occurs outside the holiday. This strong narrative connection, despite the limited temporal presence, pushes it into the 'KINDA' category."
