If you were a robot, how would you feel about getting rusty? Would you save up money for an upgrade, or demand the world be nicer to rusty robots? By asking these kinds of questions, the new animated film, Robots, goes to the heart of what it means to human. Except we’re dealing with robots, of course.
You probably will forget that, because the robots in this movie seem so human. It is a movie about personalities and the higher qualities of people – qualities like ambition, royalty and courage. These robots don’t have skin, but they’re just tin cans either.
Robots is yet another animated wonder for movie lovers to enjoy. It promises to be one of the major movies of the year, providing more evidence that computer animation studios have become kings of Hollywood. This time it is Blue Sky Studio’s turn to dazzle us with realistic 3D animation. The results just keep getting better, as Blue Sky (Ice Age), Pixar (Toy Story, The Incredible), Dreamwoker (Shrek, Shark Tale) and other studio battle it out to see who can produce the most lifelike – and most entertaining – 3D world.
Robots centers on the life Rodney Copperbottom (voiced by Ewan Mc gregor), a humble dreamer of a robot exhibits many of the flaws we commonly see in ourselves. He hungers for adventure and wants to make the world a better place, although he’s not quite sure how to go about doing that. He’s a bit clumsy, and much shyer than he’d like to be. He suffers from anxiety. Still, he is creative and he knows it. His dreams eventually compel him to bid his family goodbye and move to the robot world equivalent of New York – Robotcity – where he hopes become “a somebody”.
In Robotcity, as might any first-timer in New York, he immediately encounters some odd characters. It seems no two robots are ever built alike in this world. (Actually, these robots grow up and even give birth.) First there is Fender, voiced by Robin Williams, a loud-mouthed robot who likes to tell jokes. He introduces Rodney to the big city. Then there is a charming, sexy girl-robot Cappy (Halle Berry). Rodney also gets to know a group of old and worn-out robots called the Rusties. The big bad guy in this movie is Ratchet (Greg Kinnear), whom Rodney will struggle against. The movie is meant for children and adults alike, so you might be able to guess who wins this struggle in the end.
