Goofs:
Plot holes: Once Rodney Copperbottom has gained access to the boardroom and explained why he's there, Ratchet shows him what he thinks of his invention by kicking SuperBot out of the window. The next scene shows Rodney magnetically attached to a large mobile machine (presumably a street sweeper) which deposits him in front of the main gate of the building. So how did he get from the boardroom back to the street, and how did he get caught by the street sweeper?

'Robots' is an entertaining animated film that is both funny and delightful. The animation is wonderful and has its own style. Even though it's not exactly of the Pixar quality, that actually works for the film especially with the motions. Colour has also been impressively used. The robot world is spectacular to watch. The designing is brilliant e.g. the train station and robot city.
It includes a huge impressive ensemble of voice actors (sadly most of the cast is wasted) but not all the actors were efficiently used and many suffer due to poor character development. Ewan McGregor and Robin Williams have most of the lines and they do reasonably well.
The film has a soul but the screenplay doesn't stick to the main plot. There are several plot holes and perhaps (as fun as they are) too many characters that lack development. In spite of its flaws, it's very much watchable, especially with the family. It is visually stunning and there are many funny moments, but there's surely something missing. You don't take anything away with you after the film's finished.
