Advantages: Fun film with a strong voice cast and good animation Disadvantages: In the face of stronge competition, it doesn't quite match up
When "Robots" was released in 2005 I headed off to see it in the cinema. I have to admit in the sea of animated films offered by the likes of Pixar and Dreamworks in the last five years I had practically forgotten seeing the film when I met my husband and he happened to have the dvd in his collection. In the time we've been together I've watched the film at least 3 times and it never fails to raise at least a little giggle.
THE PREMISE
This Twentieth Century Fox animated film was directed by Chris Wedge and Carlos Saldanha who have been involved in the fabulous Ice Age films.

Advantages: none spring to mind Disadvantages: Considering this is for children I am shocked
Robot Boy is a Cartoon showed regularly on Cartoon Network.
It has only been created in the last two years and in my opinion someone should sort this program out.
Tommy is a 10 year old boy, and Robotboy's new owner,Professor Moshimo has entrusted him to his greatest fan tommy ,so that Robot Boy can learn to become like a real boy. Tommy is an intellegent young boy who is constantly trying to teach Robot Boy right from wrong,also has an older brother, a bully by the name of Donnie.
Apart from the obvious of the fact that tommy`s brother is a vicious bully with never seems to be stopped.or repremanded for.We have Gus, a character that is referred to as The G Man,who is obese and seems ok for the program makers to portray the facts that he can gorge himself stupid with junk food,confectionary and icecream,and this is acceptable ...
