6. Robots (2005) 

Robots is a visual spectacle that not only features tons of unique robot characters but also a metallic metropolis. The buildings look like machine switches and are made of circular gears, resembling the inside of a giant clock. The movie’s cast is stacked with stars including Ewan McGregor, Halle Berry, Greg Kinnear, Amanda Bynes, and Drew Carey, along with comedy legends Mel Brooks and Robin Williams. While some of the kid-friendly humor, like Aunt Fanny’s giant robot bottom and an elaborate dance scene set to James Brown’s “Get Up Offa That Thing,” can feel a bit cheesy, much of the script is filled with clever humor that everyone can enjoy.

The anti-corporate story centers on a company that would rather make shiny new robots and leave the clunky, rusted ones broken and obsolete. Kids will enjoy the vibrant futuristic designs and the level of detail and diversity put into all these different robot creations, all topped off with a heartwarming message: “You can shine no matter what you’re made of.”
