I love how thought-out and fully realized this robot world is. I also love Ratchet and Madame Gasket and the "Underground" song scene. And of course, Mel Brooks is amazing as always. Truly one of Blue Sky's best.
I watched this movie back when it came out, and I would agree that it's an underrated gem. The voice acting was great, with Robin Williams being iconic as always. And Ewan McGregor, Jennifer Coolidge, and Stanley Tucci (to name just a few) doing a wonderful job giving each character personality. Glad you enjoyed it 🤖😊~Caroline
Robots was theatrically released on March 11, 2005. It grossed $262.5 million worldwide against a $75 million budget and received positive reviews. Robots stars the voices of Ewan McGregor, Halle Berry, Greg Kinnear, Mel Brooks, Amanda Bynes, Drew Carey and Robin Williams, and features music by John Powell. This was a very big movie; with a great cast and story. What you don't see was; Ratchet was a up and coming inventor, who's ideas for making money overtook Bigwell's ideas of helping everyone. When a huge corporation like Bigwell Industries sees how much money they can make with Ratchet's ideas, they push Bigwell out of the company. Feeling defeated; he gives up, and just stays home. Not like he doesn't have money, or is not still making money from the company he built. It's just no one wants his ideas anymore. In come Rodney; with big ideas of helping everyone, and this give Bigwell the boost he needed to take back his company. This was a beautiful world; built by Blue Sky's, and a wonderful story about chasing your dreams. It is an inspiring tale; sure to make anyone smile. This movie had something for everyone; young and old, even the fart joke was truly funny.
Saw this in theater. I remember thinking it was sweet and funny. Such a great cast as well including Robin Williams, Ewan McGregor, Halle Berry, Mel Brooks, to name a few.
I've always had a soft-spot for anything from the mind of William Joyce: Robots, Meet the Robinsons, Epic, Rise of the Guardians, etc They go in a special mental list of hidden gems from childhood^.^ And for a man that has had some tragedies in his life, he always seems like a gentle, fun man~ He does a lot of stuff in my area, where he's from/is based, for children and the arts~~~ (and some of the people from his studio that I got to meet & his creative partner for a lot of things were also a treat to meet^.^)
I had the DVD of this as a kid, distinctly remember that it had one of the infamous "piracy is a crime" commercials. It also had a special "please silence your cellphones" bit before the film involving Fender and a magnet.
One of the best movies I sat watching with my dad as a kid, seeing it every time brings back such nostalgia. Even now as a grown woman, the feelings never goes away
Well, with the exception of the Ice Age saga, the Blue Sky Studio animated movies where always kinda shadowed by Disney and Dreamworks ones. If you're looking for another one of their underrated gems, you should try Epic (2013), which had a great 3D. There's also Rio (2011).
My kids loved this movie. They are all in their thirties and I can still quote whole scenes by memory. Also, thank you for putting the captions on. Most times the volume level of the movie is lower than the reactor's. Makes it easier for me so that I don't have to turn the volume up and down.
Although it's a highly underrated and underappreciated movie, Robots is in fact a good movie with a great voice cast, including Ewan McGregor, Halle Berry, Amanda Bynes, Mel Brooks, Greg Kinnear, and the late Robin Williams, who never ceases to make me laugh with his comedic hijinks and hilarious ranting! RIP to an acting legend, and the pop culture references are too good to keep! I'm not used to hearing Ewan McGregor speaking in a different accent that's not his natural accent when he speaks for Obi-Wan Kenobi, but I immediately recognized his voice the first time! And that Darth Vader voice-over bit was just the cherry on top 🍒
Big Weld was voiced by Mel Brooks who also voiced Vlad in "Hotel Transylvania 2." You really need to check out some of his movies. He's a comic genius.
Are the lights in the back new?! I can't believe I haven't noticed them before but they look great! Love the flickering candles too, you got some serious mood lighting going on Mr Thordo 😯👌🏼
me and my mom turned "CACAA! CACAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" into an inside joke and an actual way to locate each other sometimes, it works also Fender is the best character, anyone who disagrees has a wrong opinion /nsrs
this is a really fun movie, great imagination, nice story, it also looks really good, it doesnt seem to have aged a day, should be getting more attention thats for sure :)
Man this movie was super popular when it came out, I remember it being a kfc kids meal toy range and so many copies of dvds went flying off the shelves, ah what a time in my life.
I'm gonna try this off memory so.. Bender- Robin williams Piper- Amanda Bynes Bigweld- Mel brooks Ratchet- John Travolta 3 wheeled robot- Drew Carrey Fanny- Jennifer Coolidge That's all I can remember off hand
13:42 Fun fact: in the British and Australian releases, Aunt Fanny is renamed Aunt Fan, as "fanny" means... something else here. Oddly, though, the _SpongeBob_ episode "Plankton's Army" still retained the use of the word "fanny" when it aired here in Australia, and as a kid, I was wondering how they got away with it. However, the closed captions say "belly", I guess because it matches the lip movement.
When his at the train station, for a split second you can see the robot version of sid the sloth from ice age, they kept that as a little easter egg since its blue sky studio
I don't know why but this reminds of the movie Repo: The Genetic Opera, where people have to pay for organ replacements due to a organ failure epidemic and they get hacked if they miss a payment. This makes me think of a potential sequel for that where organ replacement isn't enough anymore and the rates have gone up, so certain people have been secretly building prosthetics from whatever they can find(scrap/junk/whatever)and eventually that evolved into the 'Robots' civilization cos the robots needing spare parts and getting captured to go to the chop shop works the same way.
Great reaction to this underrated classic! Yes, Robin Williams was the voice of Fender. I must recommend the Night At The Museum trilogy with Robin Williams. Another underrated film I’d love to recommend is We’re Back! A Dinosaur Story and Baby’s Day Out. 🤖🦾🦿🤍💙
There is a WHOLE directors cut of this movie with tons of missing plot threads and scenes. I wonder now if they DID explore why Bigweld ultimately gave up in this cut. I WISH we would get a directors cut of this movie released at some point because it really looked interesting. There is even a missing character and more about Tim put in there.
Wow, I literally was watching this with my grandkids last night veggie their bedtime cuz I saw it and was like I haven't seen this since it came out. It's really funny. I didn't get to finish it but can't wait to see your reaction. I was watching it prob right when you posted. Funny
25:38 Not gonna lie, it's kinda funny to hear Robin Williams do a Scottish accent, given the Genie was voiced by Dan Castellaneta on the _Aladdin_ TV show, who voices Groundskeeper Willie (among others) on _The Simpsons._
If you're looking for more underrated movies you should watch "Meet the Robinsons" or "Treasure Planet". These are some of my childhood favorites and I think you'll really enjoy it.
I have fond Memories of theis movie (in german) from my Childhood. And watching it as an adult, it is really good. The Supportive family dynmic, the Idea of being replaced by the new... And Bender is actually way less annoying and way more funny then i remember - which has a lot to do with the vice actor. That _is_ Robin Williams, one of the only people who can really tow the line between funny and annoying and come out the funny side. In german it's a man call Michael "Bully" Herbig. He has his own movies, But I'm not sure if any of them translate well into english. Lets just say he is... sometimes funny. he toes the line as well, but his track record of coming out the funny side, while not _non-existent_ is way less consistend then Robin Williams. I am also guessing that Williams improvised Many of those lines, as is his want, which actually can make it pretty hard for other voice actors to match the energy of the moment.
This one...is the only cartoon that's convince me about a single message. From the jellow one,....I just started I didn't know the original one,but translate it's something like "If you don't try,you didn't wrong" That's help me a lot of time...
and to this day i love playing the song from the movie.from zero to hero!and the fact that you are not familiar with the film is not strange - 2005 goes further and further back in history, unfortunately.
the design of the world is fantastic, alas i think the jokes border too much on the silly puns and takes away from the story a bit hence why its not nearly as popular as some of the big animated films. still fun to watch even if its not one you might watch regularly
when this movie came out was considered garbage (even that i still love it to this day) because ewan mcgregor had his reputation trashed by the star wars prequels as if he had written them, he just acted on them. and robin williams had a string of bad movies before. like bicentennial man or one hour photo. strange non funny movies that where depressing. this movie granted robin the opportunity to be on the night at the museum trilogy and ewan mcgregor also got out of the rot of "the destroyer of star wars" title the star wars fans give to him. hallie berry had no such luck since she just had released catwoman and that send her to the hollywood hell for like 10 years straight.
I love how thought-out and fully realized this robot world is. I also love Ratchet and Madame Gasket and the "Underground" song scene. And of course, Mel Brooks is amazing as always. Truly one of Blue Sky's best.
You mean Mel Brooks?
@@unknown_user8449 Thanks.
There’s a remix on Yt of the underground song and it’s so good
HE FREAKING SKIPPED THE WHOLE GOOD PART OF THE SONG
@@fireprophetproductions4967 He still saw it; he just didn't show it in the reaction (probably because of Copyright)

Ah I really like Meet the Robinson and Rise of the Guardians. Never saw Epic, but if it’s as good as those I’ll have to watch :)
I had the DVD of this as a kid, distinctly remember that it had one of the infamous "piracy is a crime" commercials. It also had a special "please silence your cellphones" bit before the film involving Fender and a magnet.
this movie was a part of my childhood 😭 got overshadowed by movies from bigger production companies but it’s a classic for sure!
This movie is an absolute underrated masterpiece!
i love watching this movie, (RIP) Robin Williams 😭 he was the funniest movie actor who brings a smile to our faces
This is an underrated classic. Thank you for reacting to it
This is the most well made “our world but inhabited by [something]”, vs something a little lower, like, Cars.
One of the best movies I sat watching with my dad as a kid, seeing it every time brings back such nostalgia. Even now as a grown woman, the feelings never goes away
This was a part of my childhood! Thank you for watching this movie, Thor! You’re the best ever!
Saaammee
Robin Williams kills it, as usual

i love that this movie is about the working class and what can happen when disadvantaged people come together to make change!
This movie was a big part of my childhood, I rewatch it so many times!
This movie is soooo underrated!!!

Great choice 🎉
Man this movie was super popular when it came out, I remember it being a kfc kids meal toy range and so many copies of dvds went flying off the shelves, ah what a time in my life.
R.I.P. Robin Williams
I will always remember this as the first movie I saw in IMAX.
Such a hidden gem
I'm gonna try this off memory so..
Bender- Robin williams
Piper- Amanda Bynes
Bigweld- Mel brooks
Ratchet- John Travolta
3 wheeled robot- Drew Carrey
Fanny- Jennifer Coolidge
That's all I can remember off hand
19:48 "Congratulations, Robot City! You've ruined pizza! First Lawndale, and now you!"
Love the reaction. Thanks!
One of my favorites. And you pointed just the right goals. Good work
Really loved this movie especially the relationship between father and son
I like this movie. I used to have the bootleg copy of the DVD 📀
Another good animation is meet the Robinson
Yess love this animation, classic
fun fact after watching this movie me and my brother had a Rodney copper bottom robot toy when were younger the nostalgia
I watched this so much as a kid. We had the dvd and a portable mini dvd player for long car rides.
This movie is my childhood
Love your reactions ❤️💖
Another movie i rewatched so much as a kid !!
13:42 Fun fact: in the British and Australian releases, Aunt Fanny is renamed Aunt Fan, as "fanny" means... something else here.

2:47 Meanwhile, on Melmac, it's "Pull! Pull!"
(The mother gives birth, and the father goes skeet shooting.)
When his at the train station, for a split second you can see the robot version of sid the sloth from ice age, they kept that as a little easter egg since its blue sky studio
You should totally watch Singin in the Rain. It’s one of my favorites. It makes me smile all the time.
I don't know why but this reminds of the movie Repo: The Genetic Opera, where people have to pay for organ replacements due to a organ failure epidemic and they get hacked if they miss a payment.

Such a hidden gem. One of my favourites

Underground.
Tom Waits.
Magical.
🙂
This movie is very creative and very good, it deserve more attention w
Yes you are correct, that was Robin Williams as Fender. RIP the best of all time.
There is a WHOLE directors cut of this movie with tons of missing plot threads and scenes. I wonder now if they DID explore why Bigweld ultimately gave up in this cut. I WISH we would get a directors cut of this movie released at some point because it really looked interesting. There is even a missing character and more about Tim put in there.
I can't imagine what that transportation will be like here, also imagine if they turn it into a ride at a theme park, that would be insane and fun.
Wow, I literally was watching this with my grandkids last night veggie their bedtime cuz I saw it and was like I haven't seen this since it came out. It's really funny. I didn't get to finish it but can't wait to see your reaction. I was watching it prob right when you posted. Funny
25:38 Not gonna lie, it's kinda funny to hear Robin Williams do a Scottish accent, given the Genie was voiced by Dan Castellaneta on the _Aladdin_ TV show, who voices Groundskeeper Willie (among others) on _The Simpsons._
I loved this movie as a kid. I even remember playing the game
Rodney is voiced my Ewan McGregor
Just realized that Mel Brookes voiced Big Weld
I love this movie and thank you for reviewing it.
I always loved that movie but i forgot how GOOD the music is.
If you're looking for more underrated movies you should watch "Meet the Robinsons" or "Treasure Planet". These are some of my childhood favorites and I think you'll really enjoy it.
This is a favorite! It's fun and clever.
Robot Tim is voiced by none other than Paul Giamatti!
Actually no robots blew its budget out of the water at the box office and received generally positive reviews
I love this movie. Fender is my favourite character. And this was one of the Blue Sky jewels.
I still don't know if I prefer the " not in your room " scene or the Britney Spears' moment ?
When I think about it... Didn't this movie come out in 2005, before Britney Spears released "Baby one more time"? How did they get to use it??? 😵💫
Probably early 2006
I remember my grandpa taking me to see this in theaters
yeah this is a good one. funny and a good messege. and yeah that was ewan mcgregor and robin williams.
I have fond Memories of theis movie (in german) from my Childhood. And watching it as an adult, it is really good. The Supportive family dynmic, the Idea of being replaced by the new... And Bender is actually way less annoying and way more funny then i remember - which has a lot to do with the vice actor.

This movie is a guilty pleasure of mine.
holy shittt my childhood right here
🤣🤣🤣 Fender is my favorite character.
This one...is the only cartoon that's convince me about a single message.
From the jellow one,....I just started I didn't know the original one,but translate it's something like
"If you don't try,you didn't wrong"
That's help me a lot of time...
I can't believe I was 30 years old when I finally realized Mel Brooks was in this movie. Lol
Hidden? I swear...do people not know this movie?! I have been watching it since I was 6!
OH here is a good movie for you to watch. Bicentennial man with Robin Williams. You'll love it
Hope you'll get around to reacting to "Gargoyles: the awakening" - from Disney.
I love this movie Another one I forgot about. I, ROBOT with Will Smith is pretty good too
Robots actually did well at the box office despite a lot of completion that year. Honestly, this movie kind of scared me as a child.
and to this day i love playing the song from the movie.from zero to hero!and the fact that you are not familiar with the film is not strange - 2005 goes further and further back in history, unfortunately.
Would you consider reacting to the Night at the Museum trilogy? They were my childhood!
your reaction when watching orphan 2009 movie is very good hope you will watch and orphan first kill again thanks
still waiting for Disney Pixar Cars (2006) 🙏🏼🙏🏼🔥🔥🔥
Have you ever seen the movie 9? It's a beautiful animated movie with some pretty mature topics and visuals.
Yes, I reacted to it actually it’s on the channel :)
this movie is the best !!
Great movie
Ah yes, the movie everyone forgets that Obi-wan and Peter Pan were in the same movie. 🤣
Psycho Mama reminds me of Rita Repulsa TBH.
Would love to see you react to shaun the sheep movies and the penguins if madagascar film
Fender doing Hit Me Baby One More Time will never not be funny.
18:09 I thought the gate keeper is a boy
the design of the world is fantastic, alas i think the jokes border too much on the silly puns and takes away from the story a bit hence why its not nearly as popular as some of the big animated films.
still fun to watch even if its not one you might watch regularly

I wouldn’t mind seeing a robots 2 but now that Disney owns robots.. I don’t want one
❤
The editing where you blur your mouth as you talk, wtf?
A very underrated film. Thanks for giving it some visibility. 🫶🏻
