Robots on tarina Rodney Copperbottomista, robottipojasta, jolla on keksintöjen tekemisen lahja, ja hänen matkastaan Robotticityyn tapaamaan esikuvaansa Bigweldia. Matkallaan hän saa uusia ystäviä ja yhdessä he kohtaavat ilkeän Ratchetin. Äitinsä avustuksella Ratchet on ottanut Bigweldin yhtiön hallintaansa ja kieltänyt muilta roboilta heidän tarvitsemiensa varaosien käytön. Onko Rodney rakennettu tarpeeksi vahvoista osista pelastaakseen päivän (SF Film Fin.)

At least Ice Age didn’t pretend to be anything more than an unserious string of fine jokes. Robots lays out family values in the introduction and returns to them in the conclusion, but it’s a completely different film in the middle – a robotic patchwork of comical and unfunny scenes, peppered with both well-done and dumb allusions to the contemporary way of life rooted in pop culture. On the other hand, the robotic world is fascinating with various innovations and endearing ideas (the first ride on public transport in Robot City is fantastic!) and the characters themselves are very nicely designed. It’s just a shame that they’re not better developed. I found myself bored by the last third of the film.

It's a shame that even the excellent animation cannot cover up the overly significant plot holes. The film can "boast" of not only straightforward simplicity, which kids will appreciate but also plenty of ideas that don't fall into the category of "original." The city itself, along with the storytelling concept, undoubtedly recalls Proyas' I, Robot, including sweeping camera movements and the grand heroic music by John Powell, who, however, relies a bit too much on motifs from Paycheck in this film. In contrast, there are plenty of references and cute jokes (which will be appreciated mainly by older viewers), and when considering the good selection of voices for the main characters, it creates a somewhat conflicting impression. For younger audiences (preferably 1st grade of elementary school), it's definitely a super cool hit, but I give it an indecisive three stars.

Robots is full of so many ideas, gags and allusions of all kinds that I will gladly forgive the film its millionth variation on a well-known story. By the way, even though I usually watch dubbed cartoons, in this case it would be a sin - I wouldn't want to lose the wonderful Robin Williams as the "evil" Fender, Mel Brooks as the inventor Bigweld or Paul Giamatti, who lent his voice to the great character of the janitor (he made me laugh to tears).__P.S. The robotic old lady feeding robotic pigeons, but she has to wind them at the same time to make them peck at all... That's one of the best ideas.

A beautiful and imaginative (various use of robots) animated film with well executed animation (for example, the style of transport was completely original). Except for the cheesy ending, it was okay, because the rest of the film went well, I even laughed a few times. Better 3*.

It seems to me that it might be a bit too formulaic as an animated film, though it has good moments when it parallels human life with that of robots. The opening title sequence is absolutely brilliant and would work perfectly as a standalone short film. The rest of the film feels somewhat predetermined, with its development being all too predictable. It's still fun, though.
