Robots is a corporate product, after all -- but a sleek one.

Reviews for Robots
Top CriticThere's no story here. It has a kind of an interesting look. It's sweet and it's just not funny at all. The jokes are very tired.
03/14/05
Top CriticRobots is more than a load of spare parts, but there are some sprockets and rivets missing.
03/13/05
Top CriticMoves along at an entertaining, if increasingly familiar clip.
03/11/05
Top CriticAs miraculous as the setting is and the realization of Wedge's vision, the story fails to really engage on any level save the kinetic.
03/11/05
Top CriticThe innovative look is undercut by the predictable story and a drawn-out, overblown ending.
03/11/05
Top CriticFeels shopworn and rote.
03/11/05
Top CriticWill keep adults amused while the kids focus on Robot City's highway system.
03/11/05
Top CriticFor an animated movie accompanied by its own line of Burger King toys and sugary breakfast cereal, Robots certainly provides a lot of Kafkaesque moments for the kiddies.
03/11/05
Top CriticIt may not shatter any molds, but it clicks along in a genial, spirited manner.
03/11/05
Top CriticThe sophistication of its humor is at the level of The Simpsons, and the computer animation is a wonder.
03/11/05
Top CriticFor a movie that rails against the notion of creative artists toiling amid corporate gloom, Robots often feels calculated and mass-produced.
03/11/05
Top CriticCute, clangy, hyperactive, really shiny, completely inorganic (except for the flatulence jokes) and totally hermetic.
03/11/05
Top CriticPacked with unexpected charms.
03/11/05
Top CriticSoftware has rarely made hardware look as attractive as it does in Robots.
03/11/05
Top CriticFully entertaining and visually astonishing if a bit spare in the story department, Robots is nonetheless a 100-percent guaranteed kid-pleaser that will also bowl over adults.
03/11/05
Top CriticEven when the jokes are so predictable the punch lines seem preprogrammed, there is inevitably some visual business to keep us occupied, and to keep Robots merrily clanking along.
03/11/05
Top CriticDespite the presence of some finely tooled parts, the new animated feature Robots lumbers under the weight of a story that might have rolled off a Hollywood assembly line.
03/11/05
Top CriticNothing but net.
03/11/05
Top CriticChildren should enjoy it without reservation.
