Robots—original and fun—is a super terrific film to watch to catch its many, many references to famous movies, television ads, and dialogue lines one of which is James Bond’s line, “Shaken, Not Stirred.” The animation is terrific and the movie uses recognizable voicing that also increases its likability factor. The movie does get a little sleepy as it winds down to its conclusion but it maintains its watch-ability status. Listen for Robin Williams’ voice as the character, Fender. Wow! What a treat. This movie is great for the Child/Adult share.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. The wind down (conclusion) is not unwatchable but is not up to par and needs improvement. Overall, the movie is a wonderful film and serves as a great child/adult share movie. It’s fresh, creative, and got great presentation.
