Robots (2005)


Robots is an animation set in a world of robots, living their normal lives.  The beginning excels at showing off the alternative robotic version of everyday things that we do, such as making a baby (literally assembling one) and washing.  The quality of the animation is fantastic, with the bright visual colors and a lot of detail in the world, which helps immerse you.  The plot is a predicable feel good one where the protagonist, Rodney, sets out to the big city to achieve his dreams.  He encounters some hiccups along the way, meets up and befriends a group of rusty robots and ends up saving the world.  This doesn't detract from its message of friendship and family though with a great ending.  There were periods of time where the pacing slowed down and it wasn't engaging enough to keep you engrossed but otherwise, Robots is a solid film.
