Plot Summary:
Academy Award winning director Chris Wedge ("Bunny,"
"Ice Age") brings his innovative filmmaking magic to "Robots," taking the
animated feature film genre to a new, exciting level. For the first time ever,
an animated feature presents a unique, totally imagined world – a wondrously
clanky universe populated solely by mechanical beings. And never has a cast of
this caliber -- encompassing no less than five Oscar winners, as well as Emmy
and Tony honorees -- been brought together for an animated feature. In the film
you'll meet memorable 'bots Rodney Copperbottom (Ewan McGregor), a young genius
inventor who dreams of making the world a better place; Cappy (Halle Berry), a
beautiful executive 'bot with whom Rodney is instantly smitten; the nefarious
corporate tyrant Ratchet (Greg Kinnear) who locks horns with Rodney; Bigweld
(Mel Brooks), a master inventor who has lost his way; and a group of misfit
‘bots known as the Rusties, led by Fender (Robin Williams) and Piper Pinwheeler
(Amanda Bynes).
