Robots (2005) is a fun, computer animated movie, while not great, offers some nice entertainment.

Set on a world of all robots, the hero is Rodney Copperbottom, who leaves his small town to find fame and fortune in the big city. Of course he finds that all is not as he expected it to be, in fact, the great corporation he hoped to work for has now been taken over by a ruthless robot named Rachet. It is a story that we have all seen before, but put into a pretty nice animation format.

Rodney, as voiced by Ewan McGregor, finds friends in the city, and with them, decides to restore things to right, by taking down Rachet. There is good voice work expecially by Greg Kinnear as Rachet, and Robin Williams as one of Rodney's new friends. And the animation is good.

Robots is not of the quality of Wall-E, but like I said, it is fun and entertaining.
