movie review - Robots

Tokyo, 2006.11.18
This is an animated flick about a robot who lives in Robot City and wants to be an inventor to make .. new robots! The characters are all robots, the inanimate objects are all robots, everything's robots. There are plenty of gags about this like in the Flinstones, but it's the story that matters and helpfully here we have a cogent tale with actual conflict and compelling characters (there's a plucky girl robot and a poorly made loser pal robot) and amazingly some charm.
Recommended. I could see kids enjoying this.
