The
pixel-happy
production
company
Blue
Sky
follows
its
successful
feature
ICE
AGE
with
more
animated
antics
in
ROBOTS.
Rodney
Copperbottom
(voiced
by
Ewan
McGregor)
is a
talented
inventor
who
hopes
to
make
his
fortune
by
moving
to
Robot
City
and
working
among
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
the
robotics
industry.
Rodney
fantasizes
about
building
robots
for
his
boyhood
hero
and
master
inventor
Big
Weld
(Mel
Brooks),
but
when
he
meets
him,
Rodney's
dream
threatens
to
turn
rusty.
Big
Weld
reveals
that
his
company
is
now
being
run
by
the
evil
Phineas
T.
Ratchet
(Greg
Kinnear),
a
merciless
moneymaker
who
wants
to
rid
the
world
of
the
antiquated
robots
that
clutter
up
the
streets
of
Robot
City.
This
leaves
Rodney's
aspirations
needing
a
major
oil
change,
and
with
little
chance
of
finding
work,
he
feels
about
as
useful
as a
broken
spare
part.
So
he
takes
to
the
streets,
where
he
finds
some
unlikely
salvation
in a
group
of
robots
lead
by
Fender
(Robin
Williams).
Fender
urges
Rodney
to
help
save
them
from
the
scrap
heap,
while
Ratchet
and
his
company
create
threatening
new
policies
on
robot
reconstruction.
The
ensuing
action
leads
to a
breathtaking
set
of
adventures
in
the
futuristic
city.
A
fun,
dizzying
delight,
ROBOTS
benefits
from
the
many
voices
of
Robin
Williams,
who
is
the
perfect
comic
foil
to
Ewan
McGregor's
central
character.
The
special
effects
are
masterfully
handled,
and
the
rendering
of
Robot
City
is a
true
sight
to
behold.
A
film
that
should
find
a
broad
audience
among
adults
and
children
alike,
ROBOTS
is
fast-paced
animated
entertainment
at
its
finest.
