Patrick Boivin only wanted two things as a child: a dog and an 'AT-AT' (for non-Star Wars fans, that's a robotic animal-like thing featured in the movies). So, as a grown man Boivin created the 'AT-AT Day Afternoon' video, which features his very own AT-AT creation.
The video itself is pretty funny, showing the AT-AT doing very dog-like things (like peeing on a hydrant and running around a park to play with other dogs). The 'AT-AT Day Afternoon' video is Patrick Boivin's dream realized, showing that childhood dreams can still come true.

Trend Themes
1. Robotic Pet Companions - The development of robotic pets as companions that can mimic the behavior of real pets could disrupt the traditional pet industry.
2. Sci-fi Inspired Robotics - Incorporating sci-fi-inspired designs in the development of robotic devices could lead to new and unique product offerings for consumers.
3. Nostalgia-inspired Products - Creating products that tap into consumers' nostalgia could provide a unique selling point and differentiate a brand from its competitors.
Industry Implications
1. Robotics - The development and production of robotic devices for a variety of applications is a growing industry with many opportunities for innovation.
2. Pet - The traditional pet industry could be disrupted by the development of robotic pet companions that offer similar benefits and reduce the responsibilities associated with owning a real pet.
3. Entertainment - The use of nostalgia-inspired products in entertainment could appeal to consumers looking for familiar and comforting experiences in an ever-changing media landscape.
