Academy Award winning director Chris
Wedge (Ice Age), returns to create
another visually spectacular,
three-dimensional world, with an
all-star, award-winning cast. This
hilarious, fun adventure not only pushes
the boundaries of animation, but also
introduces us to a world full of
loveable characters who, led by Rodney
Copperbottom (Ewan McGregor), set out to
prove that you can shine, no matter what
you are made of!
Rodney Copperbottom, voiced by Ewan
McGregor, is a small town robot who has
a gift for inventing things and a hope
of moving beyond his quaint
surroundings. He works side by side in a
restaurant with his dad who is a
dishwasher - literally a dishwasher. You
open his chest and load in the dishes.
Rodney has dreams of something greater.
Armed with his unique talent for
inventing, Rodney embarks on a journey
to Robot City to meet his idol, the
majestic inventor Bigweld, voiced by Mel
Brooks. An iconic figure in all of Robot
City, Bigweld has spent a lifetime
creating things to make the lives of
robots better.
Once in Robot City, Rodney finds that
things are not quite as he expected, and
his quest may be a lot harder than he
imagined. As he tries to navigate his
way around this new city, Rodney
befriends the Rusties, a ragtag group of
street-smart bots who know the ropes.
One of the Rusties, Fender (voiced by
Robin Williams), immediately becomes
Rodney's best friend and even lets his
spunky kid sister Piper Pinwheeler
(voiced by Amanda Bynes) tag along. They
take him in, and for now, at least,
Rodney has a home in Robot City.
Rodney also meets Cappy (voiced by Halle
Berry), an executive at Bigweld
Industries who takes an instant liking
to Rodney and sees a lot of herself in
him. Along their adventures, Rodney and
his new friends encounter unsavory
characters who try to derail Rodney's
plans to find Bigweld and save Robot
City. The result is a timeless, comedic
tale that pushes the boundaries of
animation while introducing characters
rich with humor and soul, and a
heart-warming story proves that a robot
can shine no matter what he is made of.
In addition to Ewan McGregor, Robin
Williams, Halle Berry, Mel Brooks and
Amanda Bynes, ROBOTS boasts the
following ensemble cast: Drew Carey, Jim
Broadbent, Paul Giamatti, Jay Leno,
Dianne Wiest, Stanley Tucci, Jamie
Kennedy, and many others.
