Tim

Tim is a supporting antagonist in Robots. He was voiced by Paul Giamatti.
==Physical Appearance==
Tim is a ved-puppet. His voice sounds similar to Mickey Mouse and Elmo.
==Personality==
Tim first appears in the movie as a character on The Bigweld Show. He is the gatekeeper of Bigweld Industries, and is seen being lectured by Bigweld about always keeping the gate open, because Bigweld believes that shutting the gate would mean shutting out fresh ideas from other inventors. This version of Tim is comical and benevolent, as opposed to his true nature.
Tim is much less friendly in real life. When Rodney approaches the gate to Bigweld Industries, he attempts to make a lighthearted joke about the gate never being closed, as a reference to the show. However, Tim rudely brushes off this remark. He proceeds to taunt Rodney by opening the gate for him, then slamming it shut when Rodney is about to enter. Tim does this multiple times, before finally explaining to Rodney that times have changed and Bigweld Industries is no longer what it used to be. He rudely calls Rodney a freak and continues to taunt him. Some time later, when Rodney is thrown out of Bigweld Industries, Tim resumes teasing him. He shouts "Get lost, freak!" as Rodney leaves.
However, Tim may become servile when intimidated. He appears some time later when Rodney, Fender and the Wonderbot (wearing disguises) crash the Bigweld Ball, which is held at Bigweld Industries. Fender, using his acting skills, informs him that he and Rodney are royalty. Tim, once again bullying Rodney, is visibly flustered, and lets them in. As they enter, Fender smacks him hard enough to knock him out of his booth, to which he feebly replies "Thank you, your grace."
Tim is never seen again until the victory celebration in Rivet Town at the end of the movie when, despite his protests, the Wonderbot kicks him far away as revenge for his earlier bullying to Rodney. It is presumed he was fired from Bigweld Industries. It could be possible that Ratchet taking over Bigweld Industries is the reason why Tim was so rude once Bigweld left.
==Trivia ==
• In a deleted/alternate scene of Rodney trying to get into Bigweld Industries, Tim falls out of his post after laughing too hard. He stands up on his own, debunking the misconception of Tim being a puppet or dummy. Robots (2005) - Deleted Scenes (https://youtu.be/cI-kgkoDUnc)
• In the same deleted scene, during a conversation between Rodney and Tim, the latter states he has been given orders to 'keep out the losers'.
