What is better than building your own robot to play with? Taking your kids to see a movie about robots and watching them plan the robots they will someday build!
Two great kid movies in one week, how can you go wrong? Especially with The Incredibles coming on DVD in just a few short days. Kids everywhere are cheering! Parents everywhere are watching their pocketbooks dwindle.
With a continuation of the squirrel short from Ice Age, the experience starts with a laugh. Within minutes of the feature film’s start, you find yourself drawn into the story of a world completely filled with robots. This is not Will Smith and Asimov, mind you. This is robot families, robot friends, robot pets, and robot devices. Still the robots capture the human essence from the joy of parenthood, to the disappointment of yet more hand me downs, to the hope that you can do anything you want to if, you just hold onto the dream.
The story is top-notch, and the talent unforgettable. Robin Williams, of course, shines a lot more than his rusty robot persona. Little Mel Brooks defies his size as roly-poly BigWeld. Jennifer Coolidge pads her bottom for a laugh as Aunt Fanny. The list just goes on from there.
We definitely rate this movie highly. Ignore the critics, forget Asimov, do not even think AI. Do not expect to see Rosie, either. Grab some popcorn and a huge soda and hit that theatre and “Repair for Adventure!”

Yup, we loved the movie, can you tell? Good way to spend a Saturday
