""Robots" follows the "life" of an up-and-coming robotic being named "Rodney Copperbottom," (Ewan McGregor) who has aspirations of becoming an inventor who goes to the big city to follow his dreams. He meets up with a crazy robot (Robin Williams) who constantly needs repairs. Together, with help from a group of robots known as the "Rusties," they help "Big Weld" (Mel Brooks) whose business has been taken over by a robot who would rather make parts for profit than parts to help those in need (Greg Kinnear).

Where’s my Blu-ray, Disney?) One of the movies this past year that actually got me into the theaters more than once was Disney/Pixar’s WALL•E, which comes out on DVD today. They’ve added a ton of special features to the film, especially (of course) if you buy the "

"Until last year’s brilliantly directed Ratatouille, all of Pixar’s animated features could be summed up with one word (toys, bugs, monsters, fish, superheroes, cars). Then the more complex plot synopsis of “rat functions as a culinary Cyrano in a French restaurant’s kitchen” came along and ruined the studio’s tradition of simplistic scenarios. Fortunately, this year Pixar is back on track with Wall-E, a movie that can be summed up as being about, in a word, robots. But in their pipeline they’ve got a couple sequels (Cars 2, Toy Story 3) and a couple multi-word synopses (2009’s
