Funnily unfunny

Rating: 6/10 (21 July 2005)

One walks out of the cinema with a feeling of expectations not met... But this movie wasn't the worst made up-to-date. Maybe we as adults have become too used to "children's movies" catering more for the adult sense of humour, than children's. "Madagascar" is for the kids. "Robots" were for the adults. For us grown-ups, only the penguins were extremely funny, and the rest were smilable but not nowhere in the league of "Toy Story", "A Bug's Life", "Robots", etc. Some spoofs from movies like "Cast Away" (the ball), Lion King (the hienas) were functional, and this helped with some humorous bits. Excellent animation. A bit of time wasted if you're older than 12, though...
