Animatronio is a very primitive robot built by Leonardo da Vinci. He has been mistaken for St. James because of The Last Supper, a painting by Da Vinci. Da Vinci left him on Earth when returning to Planet Vinci, so that he could show da Vinci's secret to those deserving it.

Trivia
- His punishing himself, his cloak and other factors are references to the monk in The Da Vinci Code.
- A primitive robot, he is run by a mouse.
- His name is a play on Animatronic and the name Antonio.
- Niccolò Machiavelli, an Italian writer who is considered one of the main founders of modern political science, faked his own death. Animitronio does it twice in this episode. Like Leonardo da Vinci, Machiavelli is considered a good example of the Renaissance Man.
