i was very happy i got a good price for this movie! The movie is funny, my young boys like it.

Robots
This is a great movie to watch. It tell the story of Rodney Coppertop, who dreams of becoming an inventor and making it big. Along the way, he meets some new friends like Bender. Also it shows the stumbles he face as he tries to see his idol' Bigweld. In some ways it is like the David versus Goliath story with a social issue thrown in. I enjoyed very much and so will you.

No Original Case
Movie was in great shape for a used product, but I expected the original case to be included in the purchase. I received the movie in an alternative case with none of the original artwork or advertising. I was a little dissapointed as I had ordered this as a replacement for a scratched disk that we owned and would have kept the original case if I had known it wasn't coming. All in all the experience was ok, but I've learned to keep that in mind when ordering used movies (and keep the original case until the replacement movie is received).

Great effects but a little light on plot...
This cute little movie (a smidge under 90 minutes) is an eye-popping visual feast, with roller-coaster vehicle chases; characters being swung, flipped, rolled and flattened; and lots of clever 'physical' humor and movement. However, I found myself wanting more of the plot and character development. There just isn't enough time devoted to introducing a character before the next action sequence begins. I'd have added another 15-20 minutes of showing the different robots interacting with each other and deepening our understanding of their motives, likes/dislikes and desires. Having said that, it stands up well to repeat viewings (my two toddler girls absolutely love it and would rate it 5 stars) because there is so much going on in each scene that you find yourself noticing things missed the first (or second, or third) time around. The core morals taught are sound "you can shine, no matter what you're made of" and the visual effects are top-notch. All in all, watching it leaves a person feeling like you just stepped off the Tilt-a-Whirl at the fair after eating cotton candy and funnel cakes all evening--giddy, exhilarated, lightheaded but in need of something a bit more substantial.

A fusion of Jazz and Punk : Junk
They are selling 'junk' to your kids on the street?
The Robin Williams dialog doesn't redeem this heart
chilling comedy.
People as robots that you can throw away when their parts fail:
what message does this send to the children?
A movie for children that says they will be "recycled"
when they get old as spare parts:
all this bundled as cutsie animation.
Yes, they are making war robots for the future,
but a world of robot people is probably fantasy.
No one in Hollywood seems to have heard of Asimov
when they make this kind of trash movie?
I don't like it even with a happy ending.
