FIRST TIME REACTION to Robots

[@bad-girl-coventhe-owl-club1119]

As a kid I never realized how lowkey dark the Underground is. Ratchet and his mother basically kill homeless people, recycle their body parts and sell them to their customers. If this wasn't done with robots it would be a horror movie.

Fun fact: This movie's DVD menu had an autoplay feature. If you left it sitting, it would automatically play. That is why I have this movie memorized, as I often left in my DVD player to play over and over and over again. This movie and Megamind, which I can also quote. Honestly two fantastic yet underrated movies.

[@michaelbecket4901]

Agreed

[@LDIndustries]

What I love about Robots is: 1. It holds up, just as funny now as it was then 2. It adheres really strictly not only to the worldbuilding we see in the movie but to the logical extensions of the concept 3. The message is eternal and upon rewatches only becomes more relatable and profound 4. Robin Williams, he's an amazing comedian and actor but he always shines in voice roles

Oh look and they fired some people recently for trying to speak out about some fucked shit the company was doing, who'd have guessed it!

This is truly one of the Blue Sky's most underrated classics. I love how much time was put into developing this robot run world, I love the message about the working class coming together and standing up against their unfair capitallist overlords, and I especially love Bigweld. Mel Brooks as the voice is perfect and I love how he represents the imaginative, innovating ideas of Walt Disney. And boy, this movie sure was ahead of it's time when it came to planned obsolescence of technology.

[@DiggitySlice]

Bigweld is the biggest capitalist in the movie. What you're talking about is corporatism.

[@Chunkyloops]

​@@DiggitySliceor both

[@lich109]

​​​@@DiggitySlice He literally isn't. The dude not only wanted to devote a lot of his time to inventors without any demand of monetary compensation, but we're never told that he wanted to patent/commodify their inventions. Furthermore he not only removed himself from the corporation, but at the end of the movie he makes spare parts available again to help those in need (ie he does healthcare) and he decides to not only make the hero of the story (a worker) into his second in command and eventual successor, even though that means he'd not only give up his position of power, and the worker is also directly opposed to the company's structure and goals of commodification. Incidentally there is no difference between capitalism and corporatism, if you try to separate them, you will find that the former always leads into the latter, and that is by design.

[@Bearded_Nerd94]

I loved this moment so much I wrote about it in a short paragraph assignment in 6th grade English class

[@Roach_Dogg_JR]

I find it super cool that the robot design aesthetics are used to emphasize the story The poor robots are of course rusted and vintage looking, but also a with lot of bright colors. Yellow, red, green, orange, etc. All the "inventor" robots have a lot of silver/grey in their design. Rachet is of course completely metallic, and everything he builds has a similar all chrome minimalist design. Bigweld is brushed aluminum, with black and some gold/copper accents. A lot of his designs have circles and natural curves with smooth motion. The female robot with the roller blade feet is kinda a mix of Rachet+bigweld, because she is initially on Rachets team, but she still is loyal to Bigweld's dream. She looks high tech and shiny, but with a black dress as well as lots of circles and arcs. Rodney also has lots of silver and chrome, but it is mixed with some light blue to associate him with colorful protagonists.

[@a.g.demada5263]

Note that when Rodney meets Bigwell, he's not as shinny than in the TV

[@rebajoe]

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.

The thing with Robin Williams and animated films, is that there was this habit, at least from Disney, to animate AROUND Robin Williams. They knew what his schtick was. You give the man a box of junk he'll crack as many improvised jokes as you want, he always had something. I don't know if they did it here, but I can imagine they did because most of Fenders jokes are 100% either written with Robin in mind or written by the man himself, in which case someone needs to animate character to capture what Robin was probably doing in the booth.

I’d say it’s more representative towards populism, and the worker’s party.
