Trivia: At the beginning, when Rodney is building his own robot in his room, we can see on the wall a poster that says: "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em IV: Red VS Blue" with a picture of two boxing robots. This is a reference to the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em toys, as well as to the film "Rocky IV" (in which Rocky's opponent is a Communist, i.e. "red"), and also to the series "Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles" (2003) made with the Halo engine. (more)

Goofs: Continuity: Just before Rodney takes the city ball express, you can see him standing on a giant cog turning downwards. In the wide shot, the cog above him clearly has a robot on it too, yet when Rodney hops off, the cog above him comes down, and there is no robot to be seen (more)

Superb! Classic Robin Williams!, 13 March 2005
Author: FrancesTheWHORE from Reno, Nevada

Sure, this is mostly a kids movie but as you have probably read many times, there is enough humor aimed at the adults to keep them entertained while with the kids. This is definitely good for all ages.

Ewan McGregor stars as Rodney Copperbottom but it is clearly Robin Williams who steals the movie as Fender. He clearly overshadows McGregor, Halle Berry, Amanda Bynes, Mel Brooks, Greg Kinnear and all others involved. Of course, this is really about the animation. Everything about Robots is rendered exquisitely. The time and effort that must have went into making this movie is astonishing.

I have read a few comments and reviews concerning Williams being annoying but that is absolutely 100% UNTRUE! I thoroughly enjoyed William's performance, which is saying something considering it is only his voice. Robot's marketing of William's character was not misleading. It is exactly as seen in the trailers. If you thought it was annoying, then why see it? Some people need to smarten up I suppose.

Don't believe the haters here. Most only want to go against the grain. If you did not enjoy Williams' performance in the trailer, then please don't be disappointed when you see the same thing in the movie. I can honestly say that this is a great movie-going experience for everybody.
