Rodney est un jeune robot plein d'idées, mais son village est trop petit pour ses rêves. Il décide donc de partir à RobotVille, une métropole entièrement peuplée de robots ; il veut y rencontrer Big Weld, le plus génial inventeur et bienfaiteur de tous les robots pour lui proposer ses services. Mais les choses ne se passent pas comme prévu, et il doit lutter pour rendre le monde meilleur et conquérir le coeur de la jolie Cappy... (20th Century Fox FR)

Le plus faible dramaturgiquement des grands films d'animation numériques. L'Âge de glace ne prétend pas être autre chose qu'une série légère de blagues sympas. Robots évoque les valeurs familiales au début et y revient à la fin, mais entre les deux, c'est un tout autre film - un assemblage de scènes comiques et inintéressantes, agrémentées de références réussies ou ratées à notre mode de vie pop culturel actuel. D'un autre côté, le monde des robots fascine par ses améliorations et ses idées adorables (le premier trajet en transport en commun dans la ville des robots est fantastique !), et les personnages eux-mêmes sont très joliment conçus. Dommage qu'ils ne soient pas mieux développés sur le plan du caractère. Je m'ennuyais pendant le dernier tiers.

It's a shame that even the excellent animation cannot cover up the overly significant plot holes. The film can "boast" of not only straightforward simplicity, which kids will appreciate but also plenty of ideas that don't fall into the category of "original." The city itself, along with the storytelling concept, undoubtedly recalls Proyas' I, Robot, including sweeping camera movements and the grand heroic music by John Powell, who, however, relies a bit too much on motifs from Paycheck in this film. In contrast, there are plenty of references and cute jokes (which will be appreciated mainly by older viewers), and when considering the good selection of voices for the main characters, it creates a somewhat conflicting impression. For younger audiences (preferably 1st grade of elementary school), it's definitely a super cool hit, but I give it an indecisive three stars.

Robots is full of so many ideas, gags and allusions of all kinds that I will gladly forgive the film its millionth variation on a well-known story. By the way, even though I usually watch dubbed cartoons, in this case it would be a sin - I wouldn't want to lose the wonderful Robin Williams as the "evil" Fender, Mel Brooks as the inventor Bigweld or Paul Giamatti, who lent his voice to the great character of the janitor (he made me laugh to tears).__P.S. The robotic old lady feeding robotic pigeons, but she has to wind them at the same time to make them peck at all... That's one of the best ideas.

A beautiful and imaginative (various use of robots) animated film with well executed animation (for example, the style of transport was completely original). Except for the cheesy ending, it was okay, because the rest of the film went well, I even laughed a few times. Better 3*.

It seems to me that it might be a bit too formulaic as an animated film, though it has good moments when it parallels human life with that of robots. The opening title sequence is absolutely brilliant and would work perfectly as a standalone short film. The rest of the film feels somewhat predetermined, with its development being all too predictable. It's still fun, though.
