A computer-generated animated adventure featuring few product placements, which is quite a departure from the norm for such children's fare.

A fun ride with plenty of laughs, excitement and touching moments about living out your dreams no matter your make, model or build.

Although Robots has great animation, wonderful visual invention, and a few clever jokes, it has no compelling characters or story to hold them together.

"Robots" is fraught with silly one-liners, plot contrivances and predictable solutions. There's nothing for mature minds except toilet humor.

If only they had taken another year to create a story worthy of the design!

What makes Robots enjoyable is its constant whimsy, the clever visual and verbal puns the animators make, filling every scene with blink-and-you-miss-‘em gags.

Does not suffer from Shark Tale syndrome; instead a good story with a good message and great performances.

The story holds it back from the "classic" status... All the same, Robots is cute and colorful. Kids will love it and parents will be entertained enough not to mind.

Far more interested in yelling 'look what we can do!' than in developing any of its characters or livening up its recycled story.

The film is very imaginative and you need to see it several times to appreciate the humor.
