Technically, the film is a triumph.

Consensus: Robots delights on a visual level, but the story feels like it came off an assembly line.

A visual delight.
03/10/05
Robots isn't a home run, but it's a solid double.
03/10/05
...a fun little film with some good moments...
03/10/05
A reminder that when it comes to innovative animated entertainment for all ages, there is Pixar, there is Japan and there is everybody else.
03/10/05
Top CriticThe visuals are spectacular at times, but the screenplay is trite, intermittently vulgar, and just not funny.
03/10/05
The animation, and the creation of a world populated entirely by mechanical people, is impressive, but the plot is non-existent and the all-too-distant characters blend together in a mass of clanking gears and creaky sight gags.
03/10/05
A blast of fun for the whole family, Robots is a clean and precision-tuned entertainment machine.
03/10/05
The first 20 minutes of Robots are wonderful. Then, Robin Williams shows up and sucks the life out of it.
03/10/05
Older kids should enjoy the roller-coaster ride of near constant action. For the 6-and-younger set, there are a few well-timed bodily-function jokes to get them belly laughing a few times.
03/10/05
The picture feels less like the carefully thought-out stories of animated movies such as Finding Nemo and Shrek than a stand-up comedy routine with illustrations.
03/10/05
Deserves two separate grades – a perfect four-star mark for its breathtaking computer animation and a mediocre two-star mark for its tasteless humor.
03/10/05
Robots looks custom-designed but feels factory-assembled.
03/10/05
Robots is in high gear from start to finish.
03/10/05
The film is suffused with clever visual ideas but on a storytelling level, Robots is in dire need of an upgrade.
03/10/05
Un film d’animation coloré, léger et très amusant.
03/10/05
Doesn't contain a whole lot to grasp onto and take away with you, but it's pleasurable and bright and inoffensive while it lasts.
03/10/05
Despite the occasional dent, Robots emerges as a compelling bit of comic clockwork.
03/10/05
Nimble and imaginative.
03/10/05
...with Robin Williams and Mel Brooks bringing their individuality to the front of the assembly line, Robots succeeds as an eye-popping visual feast with heart.
