Question
I saw an animated movie on a TV in 79 with bad reception. the plot was 2 robots created by competing companies. The Male dominated co. created a young male adult. The female co. a cute female. The robots meet, escape together to a planet I think was called "Junkalon" The companies come to reclaim them, fail and the company heads fall in love likewise. What is this movie. I believe it was about an hour long, seemed well done despite bad reception, and quite cute in its Romeo and Juliet futuristic theme.
Answer
Albert, you've answered you own question - sort of...
The show you are remembering was "Romie-O and Julie-8", a half-hour cartoon released in syndication in April of 1979...
it was a musical of sorts based on the Romeo & Juliet love story, only with robots...
the only name I recognize in the cast and credits is John Sebastian, who wrote the theme song for the series, "Welcome Back, Kotter"... he's credited here with song writing and vocals...
I found a YouTube video of one of the songs...
