Takahiro Miki's 2021 movie of Robert Heinlein's novel
_The Door into Summer_ is now available on Netflix.
Elisabeth Vincentelli gives it a favorable review in
the arts section of today's _New York Times_.
From a Google search the protagonist is the inventor
of a humanoid robot rather than the Roomba-like
device described in the book.

It is longer than 90 minutes, that is always a good sign.

Ah, the book was inspired by Heinlein's cat !

summer.' I threw up my hands, told her not to say another word, and

The trailer is in Japanese. My Japanese really sucks. I suspect the
movie will be dubbed.

I watched ten minutes last night. It was a LOT of subtitles. I am not sure if I am going to watch more.

I think they did a pretty good job. They had to change the technology >somewhat, reasonable facsimiles of "Hired Girl" and "Draftin' Dan"
have been commercial products for decades. The Belle (sorry, never
got the Japanese character name fixed in my head) relationship could
have stood to get some more development before the betrayal but that
would have added another 10-20 minutes to an already long movie.
I have mixed emotions about the cat. The cat they chose is a superb
actor, but he didn't look the part--he wasn't beat up enough for one
thing. And he didn't do nearly enough damage to Belle.

To do suffient damage to her, he would have had to be the size of
a full-grown tiger with the ferocity of a black-footed cat.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-footed_cat
So small, so pretty, so ferocious; it catches more prey per
attempt than any other carnivore.

OTOH what wound up happening to Belle was even more appropriate.
