Animated; Additional Footage; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack French; Soundtrack Spanish; English Subtitles; Director's Comments The pixel-happy production company Blue Sky follows its successful feature ICE AGE with more animated antics in ROBOTS. Rodney Copperbottom (voiced by Ewan McGregor) is a talented inventor who hopes to make his fortune by moving to Robot City and working among the nuts and bolts of the robotics industry. Rodney fantasizes about building robots for his boyhood hero and master inventor Big Weld (Mel Brooks), but when he meets him, Rodney's dream threatens to turn rusty. Big Weld reveals that his company is now being run by the evil Phineas T. Ratchet (Greg Kinnear), a merciless moneymaker who wants to rid the world of the antiquated robots that clutter up the streets of Robot City. This leaves Rodney's aspirations needing a major oil change, and with little chance of finding work, he feels about as useful as a broken spare part. So he takes to the streets, where he finds some unlikely salvation in a group of robots lead by Fender (Robin Williams). Fender urges Rodney to help save them from the scrap heap, while Ratchet and his company create threatening new policies on robot reconstruction. The ensuing action leads to a breathtaking set of adventures in the futuristic city.
A fun, dizzying delight, ROBOTS benefits from the many voices of Robin Williams, who is the perfect comic foil to Ewan McGregor's central character. The special effects are masterfully handled, and the rendering of Robot City is a true sight to behold. A film that should find a broad audience among adults and children alike, ROBOTS is fast-paced animated entertainment at its finest. Theatrical Release: March 11, 2005 Robots Reviews: "[T]he movie bops along with a happy, jumping, kinetic vitality."
-- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly "ROBOT's visuals are its finest asset. The world populated exclusively by robots is an intriguing blend of the retro and the futuristic that often is dazzling..."-- Claudia Puig, USA Today "There are great individual jokes and sequences, like a tour through Robot City's demented transport system that's straight out of Chuck Jones..."

I liked the first 15 minutes of this movie, and then it started to get boring. I also liked the last five minutes. The hour in between dragged. Kids will probably enjoy it more, although it does have some adult humor.

Glad I Didn't Buy It
I rented this movie and thought it was so-so. The robots, action, voices, even the storyline were great but it seems the movie was too focused on the robots (the way they moved and looked) and not enough attention was given to the robots' characters to make them more believable. Once the main character robot went into the city it was just a blurr of fast-paced action until the end. It left a void that made it clear this is not one of those movies I'd want to watch over and over again. "Robots" was cute but not a collectible in my opinion.

Director Robert Zemeckis revolutionized the art of animated film in 1998's WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT by dropping cartoon characters into the same frame with flesh-and-blood actors. In THE POLAR EXPRESS, live action and animation have merged seamlessly, resulting in sparkling super-realism. A landmark technique Zemeckis and his Sony Pictures Imageworks team call "Performance Capture" perfectly suits the tenor of this wondrous children's Christmas story by Chris Van Allsburg. A disillusioned little boy, just old enough to doubt the existence of Santa Claus, has the adventure of a lifetime one fateful Christmas Eve. Clad in his pajamas, he climbs aboard a magic train to the North Pole, driven by a kindly train conductor (voiced by Tom Hanks who starred in both of Zemeckis's Academy-Award winning films FORREST GUMP and CASTAWAY). Among myriad jaw-dropping moments, the train plummets brakeless through crystalline mountains in a simulated roller coaster ride. Going off the rails, skidding sideways, and snaking violently across a frozen lake, the train arrives at the North Pole (a vast, glowing city of brick buildings). At that moment, the car carrying the kids detaches and they're sent tumbling down never-ending chutes and slides until they land in the middle of Santa's Workshop. With its fascinating tale and impressive technical frolics, THE POLAR EXPRESS is destined to become both a holiday classic and a new turning point in the art of animated cinema.
When a doubting young boy takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery that shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe. Director: Robert Zemeckis. Actors: Tom Hanks, Nona Gaye. Anaglyph 3-D technology can be viewed on regular TVs with 4 pair of 3-D glasses enclosed. Also included is a regular 2-D version of the film.

The love saga winds to a close as Belinda (Sarah Jones) takes on a new responsibility while accepting guidance from the place she least expected it. Female doctors are a rarity in the Old West, but Belinda has carved out an impressive niche for herself in a small, tight-knit Missouri community. Her best friend, Annie (Haylie Diff), is about to give birth, and Belinda has agreed to monitor her as she carries the baby to term. But for a woman who has always put science first, Annie's folksy mother-in-law, Mary (Patty Duke), isn't always the easiest person to deal with. Experienced nursemaid Mary would rather rely on homeopathic treatments that taking the advice of doctors, and before long the two women are hopelessly at odds over how to handle the pregnancy. Back at home, things aren't any easier--Belinda is having trouble getting pregnant, and it's beginning to have a negative affect on her relationship with her husband (Jordan Bridges). Perhaps if Belinda can finally open up and realize that the solution to her problems isn't always what she thought it would be, she can find a healthy balance between her career and her home life.

Originating as a segment on the television comedy series LOVE AMERICAN STYLE, HAPPY DAYS quickly earned its way into the pantheon of sitcom classics with the help of one of the most iconic characters in American pop culture. Centered on a suburban white-bread family in 1950s Milwaukee, the series chronicled the wholesome adventures of teenager Richie Cunningham (Ron Howard), his bobby-soxer younger sister, Joanie (Erin Moran), their exasperated parents Howard (Tom Bosley) and Marion (Marion Ross), and Richie's on-the-make high school buddies, Potsie (Anson Williams) and Ralph (Donny Most). But it was the finger-snapping charm of the Cunninghams' upstairs tenant, greaser Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli (Henry Winkler), that vaulted the series into the annals of television history--and ensured Fonzie's leather jacket a permanent spot in the Smithsonian collection. This collection presents every episode from the nostalgic show's first through fourth seasons.
