Robots (G)

Rating:	★★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Animation

Academy Award winning director Chris Wedge brings his innovative film making magic to Robots, taking the animated feature film genre to a new, exciting level. For the first time ever, an animated feature presents a unique, totally imagined world – a wondrous universe populated solely by mechanical beings. And never has such a star studded cast of Oscar winners, as well as Emmy and Tony honorees -- been brought together for an animated feature. In the film you'll meet memorable 'bots Rodney Copperbottom (Ewan McGregor), a young genius inventor who dreams of making the world a better place; Cappy (Halle Berry), a beautiful executive 'bot with whom Rodney is instantly smitten; the nefarious corporate tyrant Ratchet (Greg Kinnear) who locks horns with Rodney; Bigweld (Mel Brooks), a master inventor who has lost his way; and a group of misfit 'bots known as the Rusties, led by Fender (Robin Williams) and Piper Pinwheeler (Amanda Bynes).

A Colourful & Fun filled Roller-coaster Ride is what I felt after watching Robots. The jokes never stop as you try to catch the details of every scene which passes your eyes in split seconds. The pace is so fast that it makes "Fast & Furious" looking more like "Rest & Relax"!

An Extremely Entertaining Movie with a simple storyline of believing in oneself & never give up on dreams. What makes Robots funny is that you have to take everything they say literally. From making robot babies to repairing the misfit bots. Do take note that some jokes don't just end there, they'll bring you to another level of unexpected bust of laughters! On that note, try not to drink during the show, unless you are prepared to laugh so hard that Coke comes out from your nose...or shower the poor guy in front of you with it.

The funny moments in Robots maybe good for one time only, so don't spoil it for any of your friends who haven't watched it. The animation is far, far,far better than "Ice Age"; and the design of Robots City...WOW~! To get a better look at the Robots world is a good enough reason to catch it again.

A small let down is Ewan McGregor's voice over for Rodney. He is totally unnoticeable compare to other cast members, especially Robin Williams!

If a good laugh is what you need? You must see Robots!
