Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Jesper Brun I wonder why it only has a rating of 6,3 on this website when it is worthy of a 7 with the well made world of robots and the giant step up in the quality of the animation since Ice Age. When I said Robots was fun I meant that when it hits it made me laugh, indeed. Robin Williams does his usual schtick and it never disappoints me, but with that said the humour is a bit of a hit or miss, because it can be juvenile at times. Robots has a good message about consumerism and wealthy and greedy businessmen making their profits off of poor people. It's nothing new, but sympathetic. The characters are pretty generic and not as complex as they were in Ice Age, but that doesn't make them bad at all. They're both likable and fun, just something we have seen before. Robots is enjoyable and entertaining and even though it's not the best from Blue Sky Studios it deserves more praise for its creative world building and beautiful animation.

Pjtaylor-96-138044 There are some inventive ideas and well thought-out themes running throughout 'Robots (2005)', a lively and, at times, funny animated adventure. These allow the initially standard-seeming 'new boy in the big city' story to take on a life of its own, becoming a slightly less predictable and much more enjoyable affair than expected. It's entertaining for kids and adults alike. The excellent voice-cast solidify the characters within the suitably grounded but sensibly outlandish world, bringing their quirks and comedy to the forefront while making them feel as real as possible. This allows for some proper emotional attachment, which becomes key when the plot takes a sharp turn into its more 'cartoony' - and, soon after, 'allegorical' - elements. 7/10

mitsubishizero Personally, I thought this was a great movie! The characters are well developed, there's no shortage of creativity and while some of the jokes are miss, others definitely hit. Robin Williams stands out as the breakout character of this movie. Ewan Mcgregor voices Rodney Copperbottom, an aspiring inventor who moves to the big city to make it in his dream job. Along the way he meets a rag tag group of robots. Among them are named Piper (Amanda Bynes) and Fender (Robin Williams). With the help of his new friends Rodney discovers the dark truth about the lack of spare parts. But enough said as it's better if you watch it yourself and i'd recommend it.

Rich Wright When computer animated films were first birthed, a lot of the first ones were brilliant. The people behind them worked as hard on the scripts as the effects, and so we got masterpieces such as Toy Story, Shrek, A Bugs Life... (Stop laughing at the back).So when did the rot set in? When did CGI flicks stop being events, and become just another way to print money? My vote is for the mid 00's, when rather than around 2 a year, studios started releasing around 10. They stopped with the heartfelt stories and the clever humour, and instead gave us obnoxious characters, unoriginal plots and bathroom gags aplenty. Mostly, companies that weren't Pixar. A few examples: A Shark Tale, The Ant Bully, and this loud nonsense, which is as soulless as its mechanical protagonists.Ewen Mcgregor and a whole cast of stars do voiceovers, but their presence neither adds nor subtracts anything to the film. As for Robin Williams, he's like a prescription medicine: Good in small doses, but too much and you begin to feel a bit queasy. It's just utterly forgettable, and has deservably consigned to the scrapheap in most people's memories (Tee Hee). The funny thing is, I remember liking it a lot more when I saw it at the cinema initially. Oh well, my critical faculties must have been a bit below par that day...
