Watch Robots For Free

Just so...so bad

Great Film overall

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

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.

I find that this movie has aged really really well, while a lot of other Pixar / Disney / feelgood movies really didn't. movies like this often leave me in a cringe due to their forced "haha look at how funny this is!!!!111!" factor being so high, this movie did not force too much emotion in everything at all. most things just got rolled in. some things where still cringe worthy, especially the ending scene but it felt like they where pretty self aware of that. the plot is incredibly stereotypical but that didn't hurt the movie, it was easy to follow and that made it easy to look at the beautiful imaginary and boy this movie looks good! for its time but even nowadays it looks incredible! they really dedicated themselves to a theme and stuck with it. I always loved the concept of imagery like this, create a world made of ordinary things to make complex images. and that is what this movie feels to achieve, even though they did not quite do that, they did leave the same feeling when watching it. the movie is essentially this art form:Https://Ishmam {dot} files {dot} Wordpress {dot} com/2013/03/8237f5cf7e1ba75f7496901367863 427 {dot} Jpgyou can just keep looking at the scenes without getting bored one bit.

Robots has flawless and detailed animation, excellent voice acting from all characters, and decent-enough soundtrack... so why am I only rating it 5/10? Well, it's the huge level of crude humor, which takes over the whole movie to the point where it just gets disgusting and stupid. If you're an adult and you love crude humor, sex jokes and fart noises, well by all means that's your decision. But this is listed as a kid's movie, and no matter how you want to raise your children and what you allow them to see, there were things in this movie that were certainly not appropriate for its intended audience.Right away, Robots starts off with a few "baby-making" jokes (you'll see what I mean if you decide to watch it). I'm not some kind of prude, many movies have one or two crude humor jokes in them, but Robots takes it WAY too far as it goes on, from "Aunt Phanny" (an obese robot who constantly passes gas) to repeated scenes of a dog trying to take a leak on a fire hydrant.It's really too bad, because Robin Williams really did a great voice job, as did Jim Broadbent (who surprisingly voiced a female character!) and it did have some funny moments, such as the scene where the ugly old antagonist gives her son a photo for his desk at work, a photograph of her framed in a plastic pink heart shape with the words, "world's best mom" on the top.I think that Robots had a ton of potential, but sadly this is one of those movies that just got wrecked with nasty, pervy jokes and fart noises. I can't honestly say I could ever recommend it to anybody.

I gave it a 10:Story is original but not to difficult to understand for a child, it has it all, not wealthy family, living and following your dreams, taking action for what you want to achieve. Of course sometimes predictable, but then, this is very entertaining for a child. - Animation is nicely done, still detailed to date, by then is had to be amazing. - animation casting very nicely done, a lot of creation to makeup all different robots (more difficult then creating from nothing different cars...) - Voices are great done, very good actually.And indeed (as for 3-may-2012), the average score of 6.2 is not on par with this movie. My personal opinion, it should be more likely +8.0
