Ending

Directed by Atsuko Fukushima and Katsuhiro Otomo. The Robot Carnival is stopped by a little hill in the desert. Unable to climb the sandy obstruction, the Carnival stalls at its base. As the sun sets over the traveling relic, flashback stills recall the grandeur of the Carnival at the peak of its existence—an unparalleled engine of mirth that brought timeless joy to the various cities it visited. At sunrise, we see the platform chug forward with a sudden burst of power and crest over the dune in its way. The final push proved to be too much for the aged contraption, and it finally goes to pieces in the desert. The bulk of the film's credits are then shown concluding with an epilogue.

le Robot Carnival est bloqué par une petite dune dans le désert ; incapable de grimper cet obstacle de sable, la machine demeure à sa base. Alors que le soleil darde ses rayons sur cette antiquité, un flashback rappelle sa grandeur, du temps où c’était une machine enchantée qui voyageait de ville en ville en apportant une joie éternelle.
