Concept:
An advanced civilization of walking tea pots has uncovered Mat, an ancient steampunk robot frozen among the glaciers. The gigantic bot still shows signs of life even after all the years but seems dormant so the tea pots have set on a restoration mission to defrost and awaken the giant by doing what they probably do best, pouring hot water!
