One of my all time favorites.

Brilliant and touching

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

To call Robots a movie is to do it a disservice, as would calling the Bible a book. It is no mere motion picture, it is art, it is wonder, it is grace. One can begin to imagine how many lives have been turned around by the iconic line "see a need, fill a need". To say Robots breaks down all cultural barriers in an aptly cold and mechanical real world is only beginning to potray the full picture. From Ewan McGregor's best performance to the deep insights of humanity and corporate cynicism; Robots is truly something that changes a person. The only criticism I have is that it makes your own life feel insignificant and meaningless, especially since nothing better is likely to ever happen again... ... Until Robots 2.

This film great for the most part. It has great CGI and great voice-casting. The people who animated this film really payed attention and made it look very detailed, and this film has a great voice cast. I will be honest and say that the story is not great, but it's not bad either. It's pretty good, just nothing too fantastic about it. The reason why is because it's pretty generic. I say that because it's the old "Stop the villain and everything gets better" cliché. They do that very well in this movie, but it's just that I've seen this happen many times in other films, and it doesn't really impress me all that much. But I guess it's good enough to sit through, I guess. There are a few times in which this film can seem a little overly kiddie. But other than that, I enjoyed this film and would recommend this to anyone who likes robots or anyone else really. I can't guarantee everyone would love this film the first time they see it, but they'll most likely have fond feelings for this film like I still do.

I find it hard to be too hard on animated films. There is generally a creative idea that springs into action and the results are what then fits the mold. It's a "what if" thing. Obviously, many non-animated films also start with this premise, but here we can create whatever visual world we want. The sky's the limit. Here, we have a world of robots, who lead lives like humans, but who have different shapes and sizes and functions. They integrate into this world and do their thing. Some have hopes and dreams. Rodney Copperbottom is a dreamer and an inventor. He wants his inventions to be noticed, so he packs his things and heads off to find his hero, Mr. Bigweld, who holds the future of enterprising robots in his hands (are they really hands?). He arrives, but the big boss is nowhere to be found. He engages the help of a collection of outcast robots, one voiced by the late Robin Williams, to go on a quest for information. This is a nice movie with no great pretensions.

Robots (2005) is a visually pleasing and entertaining film. It is quite artsy but generally robots and androids lovers will like this! It sets in an entirely mechanical world, where each and every robot is unique in their own ways. This film, the second by Blue Sky Studios is certainly way way way finer than the first Ice Age film. They should have been rewarded a most improved studio kind of award!I loved the concept and visuals, it is quite entertaining to watch as a whole as it is mechanically gorgeous but in terms of story and character creations, it is a little...lacking. For example, I did not know there was a specific love interest for the main character until I read up on it cause I don't see any obvious chemistry or hint. *lol* Nonetheless, the film does have an inspiring message and there are some scenes in the film that left me dumbfounded; their version of baby making is hilarious and the fast paced Robot City's cross town express is surely epic. Hence, don't be fooled by the movie poster; the animation is much vivider and livelier than it looks. At first I thought it might be boring but boy, I was wrong!
