Robots

Endearing "follow your dreams" story with plenty of laughs.

The movie's breakneck pace proves to be its biggest drawback.

Robots is a corporate product, after all -- but a sleek one.

There's no story here. It has a kind of an interesting look. It's sweet and it's just not funny at all. The jokes are very tired.

Dazzling set-pieces keep things ticking over.

Robots tries hard to please, but ultimately elicits indifference.

The animation is just so beautiful.

The movie's admirable theme, that there are things more important than profit, comes across under the virtuoso visuals that peak when endless falling dominos turn into a veritable ocean of the little black blocks being surfed by a robot.
