What is it with Robin Williams and robots?

And if it's anything like Ice Age...

I didn't like Ice Age - except for that little furry rodent thing which was friggin hillarious! - it just wasn't that well written or animated and it had Ray Romano's voice. Eeeeech.

This one looks a lot more promising!

Good. I liked Ice Age - it was funny and had good character design.

The CGI looked top-notch, the comedy looked mediocre and forced.

Loved Ice Age.

Love robots and the concept of this movie.

Hate the cast...

Robin Williams... Blech!
Mel Brooks... Blech!
Greg Kinnear... Double-blech!
Drew Carey... Triple-blech!

I'll pass.

It looks cute--I thought Ice Age was a descent enough flick.

Never saw Ice Age. Only the previews and I did catch the first 10 minutes once. It didn't really interest me.

This looks promising though. Might be worth a look.

Looks well animated and entertaining...unlike the crap Dreamworks spooges out every so often.

It also looks awfully similar to the new game by American McGee...

Are robots the new zombies?

well at least they are sticking to actual comedy and not just pop culture gags like shrek or so the trailer stuck to it.

You saw most of the worthwhile bits then. They almost all involved that little furry thing, and it was involved about six minutes of the movie.

The CGI on Ice Age sucked - though mostly because I'd just seen Monsters, Inc. the week before and was all fuzzied-out.
