Description
The pixel-happy production company Blue Sky follows its successful feature ICE AGE with more animated antics in ROBOTS. Rodney Copperbottom (voiced by Ewan McGregor) is a talented inventor who hopes to make his fortune by moving to Robot City and working among the nuts and bolts of the robotics industry. Rodney fantasizes about building robots for his boyhood hero and master inventor Big Weld (Mel Brooks), but when he meets him, Rodney's dream threatens to turn rusty. Big Weld reveals that his company is now being run by the evil Phineas T. Ratchet (Greg Kinnear), a merciless moneymaker who wants to rid the world of the antiquated robots that clutter up the streets of Robot City. This leaves Rodney's aspirations needing a major oil change, and with little chance of finding work, he feels about as useful as a broken spare part. So he takes to the streets, where he finds some unlikely salvation in a group of robots lead by Fender (Robin Williams). Fender urges Rodney to help save them from the scrap heap, while Ratchet and his company create threatening new policies on robot reconstruction. The ensuing action leads to a breathtaking set of adventures in the futuristic city. A fun, dizzying delight, ROBOTS benefits from the many voices of Robin Williams, who is the perfect comic foil to Ewan McGregor's central character. The special effects are masterfully handled, and the rendering of Robot City is a true sight to behold. A film that should find a broad audience among adults and children alike, ROBOTS is fast-paced animated entertainment at its finest.

So strange, the disparity in taste. For instance, I think Shrek 1 was idiotic. So much so, I didn't even bother with Shrek 2. And while I liked Shark Tale, it had some obvious weaknesses. Yet someone on this list raved about it. Meanwhile, I'm shocked by how many people weren't as impressed with "Robots" as I thought they would be. More importantly, my son -- all of 22 months -- has discovered...
The kiddies should like this one but some scenes may be a little intense for the under fives. The animation is very good but the plot is a little light and most of the good stuff you have seen in the trailers. If you have kids you may want to wait for the DVD and add it to your TV babysitter collection.
I agree it was cute, but not a work of art. Nothing really stuck with me about the movie, nothing greatly funny or special about the story. It was just there.
Why, oh why? That dance scene at the end ruined the film!

Very good kids movie. Good plot. A treat visually.
Bearing in mind this was supposed to be a family movie, I thought it was rather good. There were definetly spots that could have used some pepping up, but overall I quite enjoyed it. The story is predictable, but then, what kids movie isn't? I thought Robin Williams schtick (as people keep calling it) livened things up quite a bit, myself. Highly recommended, though you may want to rent it.

Robots delights on a visual level, but the story feels like it came off an assembly line.
