Imagination is still there, but only in a few links

Compared with the last "Ice Age", this movie, also made by blue sky, can no longer be so exciting in the story.
On the other hand, I look forward to the second part of "Ice Age", but it seems that it won’t be released until the end of the year, or it will be delayed until next year.
How to put it, this "Robot Adventure" seems to borrow some of the plots from "Me, Robot" to build evolution on the basis of destruction. But in order for the children to understand, it is not so esoteric, the bad guys make it worse, and the good guys are more determined. The whole story lacks suspense and tension, and it becomes the joy of the good guys finally defeating the bad guys. This is far from the twists and turns of "Ice Age".
A pair of contradictions was thrown in "Ice Age": the mammoth's parents were killed by humans, but it eventually sent the human children back to its parents. Even at the last moment when the mammoth appeared in front of the humans, the humans still aimed their spears at it. This contradiction makes people helpless. And the role of my favorite tiger is even more touching. From the beginning, the child was stolen to make breakfast, and then he worked with the mammoth to protect the child. Finally, I cried when I was playing the eye-covering game with my child when I walked slightly babbling.
But in "Robot Adventure", I didn't see this kind of contradiction, only a bad guy who only wanted to profit and a group of robots who wanted to live. This kind of confrontation is not touched either. After being recognized, blue sky embarked on the road of popularization. Make bad guys hateful, make good guys strong, unyielding, and talented, then add some affection (actually sensational), plus a little bit of love (because it is not suitable for children, so add less) A cartoon suitable for the public to watch is released. Of course, you can't forget to recruit two big names to dub. All the elements are in place, so what we see is a Hollywood movie, even if it is a cartoon.
Although I have scolded so much, it is undeniable that all the visual effects are quite enjoyable. For example, the scene of entering the big welding company and the scene of overthrowing dominoes can be seen by these childlike geniuses. Phenomenological force.
It's a pity that these are only used for the details of some irrelevant stories. If you put these imaginations on the construction of the story, it would be great!
But genius needs such a transition, I can understand. If every idea is a whimsical idea, that day will not be far from mediocrity.

    [2009.06.25~2009.06.26] Although the plot is old-fashioned, it's fun to be interesting. Lao Mei's imagination is really not covered.

    Although the plot is still very mainstream, the robot has a good setting

Robots quotes

  • Piper: [about Aunt Fanny] She's a little artsy-fartsy. The artsy's okay, but once she gets fartsy...

  • Fender: [singing] I'm singing in the oil / I'm singing in the oil / After all that work and toil / I'm just slipping in the oil / I know where I've been sent / I'm covered in lubricant... My life has been turned around. From now on, I'm a winner!

    Fender: [Gets captured by the Sweeper] Wait a minute; you can't do this to me! I'm *alive*!

    [singing voice]

    Fender: Help!
