Robert Reborn was the final film of director Andrew Jones, who died on January 15, 2023.[2]
Plot
In 1951 Russia, as the Cold War intensifies, the infamous dictator Joseph Stalin is suffering from illness and his death is imminent. Meanwhile, KGB agent Stoichkov discovers a mysterious stage show in the Baltic region featuring three creepy dolls: Robert, Kalashnikov, and Miss Cyclops. Spellbound by the lifelike animation displayed by the dolls on stage, Stoichkov investigates the show's host and discovers he is a German Toymaker who owns a mystical book that holds the key to eternal life. Believing the Toymaker and his book will help Stalin escape death, Stoichkov kidnaps him and they board a plane to Moscow. However, the Toymaker's living creations have followed them. When the plane is in mid-air, all hell breaks loose as Stoichkov and his team of KGB agents realize the three dolls are on board and will stop at nothing to rescue their puppet master.

Critical response
Culture Crypt gave the film a review score of 20 out of 100 amd wrote;
I won’t end with my usual conclusion claiming if Robert comes back again, which he probably will, I won’t be joining him.[5]
mlmillerwrites gave the film negative review and wrote;
If there is another ROBERT movie, I’ll cover it. But it looks like the filmmaker has moved on to other projects, so it looks like Robert can finally be at rest.[6]
