These CGI movies are getting better and better from an animation standpoint (The same studio did ICE AGE a few years back and this is far and away a better looking film). But someone might want to try developing a better... Full review

Williams and Bynes shine in "Robots"

Although not as good as "The Incredibles" or "Shrek", "Robots" is still an entertaining computer-animated cartoon. Kids from 8 to 12 should enjoy this movie, as well as older people who like CGI films. Robin Williams and Amanda Bynes stand out... Full review

But don't listen to me: I'm just a boy whose intentions are good ..... First there was Ice Age, and now comes Robots, a visually inventive animation with a high profile voice cast that delivers everything except heart.
This is the basic (er, simplistic) nuts and bolts of this mechanical story, in which a robot-populated world is threatened with having to upgrade to shiny new models, instead of just repairing themselves with spare parts.

The flaking paint and muted hues of the castaway robots provide some of the literal and figurative dimension that the story lacks.
The old-movie gags are a reminder that "Robots" was originally supposed to be a screwball musical, and it still includes a few songs, which, except for Williams' lubricated version of "Singing in the Rain," are unremarkable, but the script was "updated" with big-butt and fart jokes for the kiddies.

It all comes together in a story that works on every level, with something for every age, with silly humor, clever puns, sly satire, endearing characters, and, rarest of all, a story that is not just heartwarming but meaningful.
And that real-life special effect Robin Williams.

apparently I wasn't the only one who was less than enthralled by the movie.....Robots" will probably fascinate some kids with its color, its noise, and its constant motion.....In fact, most of the cutest jokes come in the movie's first few minutes.....And Mel Brooks's voice is always pleasant to listen to, especially when it sounds exactly like Mel Brooks (except when it sounds like Al Pacino, and then it's still fun)..... ...

The animation while often spectacular is just as often cluttered, packed with more than the eye can take in.
Not even the talented cast of voices in "Robots" do much to instill any life into a motion picture that is mainly show and little else.
