no shock and no disappointment . it a classic family cartoon ( make with cgi ) with good guy and bad guy and a vaguely hudsucker proxy meet wizard of oz plot and the requisite postmodern aside and even for the kid ( yes we know you know it a surreal cartoon etc . ) . there plenty of invention in translate human attribute across to machine but that where the invention end . the film be purely a vehicle for it star voiceovers and cgi wizardry . for the latter and a laurel or two although i wasn not quite so ready to buy into the voicework represent robin williams especially have a tendency to modulate the volume of his projection so wildly a to render many line inaudible ( sic an actor error and not production ) . one for the under 12 while you do the tax return . 4/10 .
