Movie Review: Robots (2005)

Hello!
Today, I am part of Hamlette at Hamlette's Soliloquy, and Quiggy at Midnite Drive-In's Robots in Film Blogathon!

Today, I am going to review one of my favorite movies when I was younger, Robots (2005)! I didn't watch it a lot, but when I did my sister and I would pretend that I was the blue robot (Rodney), because blue is the best color ever, and my sister was the yellow robot (Piper, "Rhymes with viper").

"I've got to say, you aren't making a very good first impression."

Sorry! I'll stop rambling. Here it is:

My guarantee: On ALL of my reviews there are NO spoilers unless I give you warning.

Robots (2005):

"You can shine no matter what you're made of."
Rodney Copperbottom has created an invention, named Wonderbot, that he thinks could help robots (which is, another robot). He travels to Robot City to visit his childhood hero, Bigweld, to see what he thinks of it. But when he gets there he finds that Robot City is a mess: Bigweld is missing, all old parts are being discontinued, and the robots are being forced to buy upgrades, which all look the same so no one is unique. As an inventor he helps by fixing all the robots in need, and finds himself being taken in by a group of friendly, but desperate for parts, robots. He decides that he needs to find Bigweld, and the whole team sets off to find him and stop the evil Ratchet.
"This is where we show what we're made of."

Genre: Comedy, Animated.

Length: approx. 91 minutes.

Costumes: 8, Well, there aren't really costumes here. But, I definitely prefer the old looks to the upgrades!

Script: 7, there is a bad word or two, insulting names/calling people mean names.
"Good luck with your dastardly plans!"

Animation: 8, I don't like a lot of digital animation, but for some reason I've always loved this. Maybe it is because of the way the good characters have really bright colors, and the villains have darker colors, and how that really sets the mood!

Music: 8, "It's a fusion of jazz and funk, I call it junk!" It is really funny, we have a video of my dad and I coming up with the exact same thing even before I saw this!

Music by: John Powell

Quotes: 9, "A dream that you don't fight for can haunt you for the rest of your life."

Notes: They have a lot of references to many other movies including: Star Wars, Singin' in the Rain, & The Wizard of Oz.

Storyline: 6, there are some suggestive things, bathroom jokes, gross things, "smoking", and crude humor. Though it has all of that, it has a really good message of "Never, never, give up."

Overall Score: 7.5!
