>>123862449Robots was a bad movie. It just so happens that Shark Tale lowered the bar for what to expect for non Pixar CG films, so when Robots came out, critics approached it with low expectations and a bit exhausted after ripping ST apart for months, so they were more forgiving of a terrible story than they should've ( those fancy visuals didn't hurt either ). Had Robots came out before ST, i assure you that reviews would've been more on the negative side. Blue Sky got lucky that Dreamworks lowered the bar before they did.
