Robots (2005)

Synopsis: In Robot City, the big robot factory plans to stop making spare parts.

Appraisal: Really great graphics here. The work behind this animation must have been huge and it shows. The script goes halfway. Meaning that the problem (capitalists wanting to make more money and not caring for people) is real and cleverly placed into an action-oriented screenplay, but the solution ("bad" capitalists being replaced by "good" capitalists) is risible. Perhaps the concept of Government was deemed too complex for a kids' movie. Or perhaps the idea that governments can actually regulate business sounds more dangerous than a mass riot.

Rating: 64
