Top CriticDoes not suffer from Shark Tale syndrome; instead a good story with a good message and great performances.
04/21/05
The story holds it back from the "classic" status... All the same, Robots is cute and colorful. Kids will love it and parents will be entertained enough not to mind.
04/20/05
Far more interested in yelling 'look what we can do!' than in developing any of its characters or livening up its recycled story.
04/15/05
The film is very imaginative and you need to see it several times to appreciate the humor.
04/14/05
Mechanically solid, and that’s all most youngsters will care about.
04/08/05
This giddy exposition is polished in its nostalgic atmospheric look but has been assembled with the simplistic precision of piecing together a Tonka toy truck
04/03/05
Cleverly clanky and colorful.
03/30/05
The subject of robots is reduced to a cute story rather than being motivated by a substantial theme.
03/30/05
A technically fine looking yet dull-as-drill-bits movie whose busy animation creates 90 minutes of chaos onscreen.
03/30/05
An innate awareness that generating underarm faux flatulence is difficult when you're made of metal, but not impossible, is just the spirit we need to see more often.
03/26/05
...overprogrammed.
03/25/05
Though it takes a while to find its (ball) bearings, Robots is a consistently inventive visual experience.
03/24/05
Amazingly, even the presence of two of the funniest human beings on earth, Williams and Brooks, doesn’t help.
03/24/05
The tin-bucket robots characters are just as robotic in personality as they are in form, thus they never come across as being particularly interesting or sympathetic.
03/20/05
The story is predictable, mediocre and clichéd, but visually, the film is marvelous.
03/20/05
Another pile of junk on Hollywood's ever-growing scrap heap.
03/18/05
A computer-animated kiddie film built from spare parts.
03/18/05
When a film's primary source of pleasure comes from sights half-hidden in the background, there's something terribly amiss.
