"Robots" comes to us from the creators of "Ice Age", but trust me- these are 2 very different movies. Rodney is a robot who's grown up in a middle class society. He's a bit rusty, his paint is chipped, his "parts" are hand-me-downs, and his father works as a dishwasher for a big-mouthed boss. I think that MANY people can relate to this situation, and in a subtle way, it's totally believable. Rodney is an inventor, and he dreams of making a better life for his family, and becoming something great. This is where his journey begins: on the road to bigger and better things. He finds himself in front of the Bigweld Corporation (to show his inventions), and of course because of his class- is denied entrance. An arrogant robot named Ratchet is trying to take over the company (with help from his retchid mother, Madame Gasket, who plans on turning all lower robots into scrap metal), and nobody seems to know where Bigweld is. With help from his new friends along the way (Fender -voiced by Robin Williams, Piper, Crank, Diesel, Lug, Cappy, Wonderbot, and Aunt Fanny)- it seems that no matter the obstacle, Rodney's life is about to change for the better. His plan: to find Bigweld, and stop Ratchet from destroying all the lower class robots. The visual effects in this movie are astounding! It's clearly a remarkable feast for the eyes. The cities are creative, as are the characters. There is mild , suggestive humor, but nothing terribly offensive. Robin Williams and Jennifer Coolidge (Aunt Fanny) are hilarious in their own right. There are MANY bonus features, including a behind the scenes, interviews with the voice-over actors, and even some games that you can sort through using your DVD player's controller. All in all, you get your money's worth with this movie, and it's enjoyable for the whole family!
score 8/10
