As a kid I never realized how lowkey dark the Underground is. Ratchet and his mother basically kill homeless people, recycle their body parts and sell them to their customers. If this wasn't done with robots it would be a horror movie.

Fun fact: This movie's DVD menu had an autoplay feature. If you left it sitting, it would automatically play. That is why I have this movie memorized, as I often left in my DVD player to play over and over and over again. This movie and Megamind, which I can also quote. Honestly two fantastic yet underrated movies.

What I love about Robots is: 1. It holds up, just as funny now as it was then 2. It adheres really strictly not only to the worldbuilding we see in the movie but to the logical extensions of the concept 3. The message is eternal and upon rewatches only becomes more relatable and profound 4. Robin Williams, he's an amazing comedian and actor but he always shines in voice roles

Rest in peace Barry White 1944-2003 James Brown 1933-2006 Lucille Bliss 1916-2012 Roger Ebert 1942-2013 Robin Williams 1951-2014 Terry Wogan 1938-2016 Marshall Efron 1938-2019 and Jansen Panettiere 1994-2023, James Brown and Barry White did the songs that were in this movie and Roger Ebert was a film critic

"making the baby is the fun part" in a childrens movie is hilarious adult joke that flew right over my head as a kid.

I flipping love how they immediately labeled bigweld a villan

This movie is actually way more accurate on greed ruining once noble enterprises than I remember. Them sanding off the previous company motto reminds me of the sobering moment when google removed "And remember... don't be evil, and if you see something that you think isn't right - speak up!" from their company code of conduct. Oh look and they fired some people recently for trying to speak out about some fucked shit the company was doing, who'd have guessed it!

I’ll never forget that when I got lost at the airport when my family and I were going to Florida for a family reunion, I used Fender’s call for help noise and my mom wanted to kill me cuz she was hella embarrassed 😂😂😂

Fun Fact: Teenage Rodney is voiced by Jack de Sena, aka Sokka.

7:16 here you can see a Sid of the ice age in robot form.

This is truly one of the Blue Sky's most underrated classics. I love how much time was put into developing this robot run world, I love the message about the working class coming together and standing up against their unfair capitallist overlords, and I especially love Bigweld. Mel Brooks as the voice is perfect and I love how he represents the imaginative, innovating ideas of Walt Disney. And boy, this movie sure was ahead of it's time when it came to planned obsolescence of technology.

Fun Fact, Liam Vickers (Murder Drones creator) said if you're wondering about how drones grow up, to just apply this movie's logic lol

Gotta love Robin William's performance (Voicing Fender) in this film.

Ratchets whole monolog about upgrades and force robots to buy them is basically what Phone companies do.

29:30 Fun Fact: The song "Daisy" was the first song ever sung by an AI. That's why HAL 9000 sings it in a Space Odyssey.

30:15 It's amazing that you mention Rollie Pollie Ollie 'cuz the author of the books, William Joyce, had a hand in this film's visual style! He also wrote "A Day with Wilbur Robinson", a book that would later be adapted into Disney's Meet the Robinsons!

The red robot named fender is voiced by Robin Williams bless his soul

That adult joke at the beginning gets me every time "Making the baby is the fun part."

Honestly this one is genuinely one of the most underrated movies ever. I remember loving this one as a kid.

31:57 Top ten moments that altered my brain chemistry as a child

I swear y'all are telepathic, anytime I think "Wow, it's been forever since I've seen [insert movie here]", here y'all are watching it😂

8:10 Fun fact, they made a whole motorized playset of this sequence! It was like a Rube-Goldberg hot wheels set for ping pong balls lol.

"he is gonna be a villain." "Yeah, I don't see a universe where he's not." Well... You're in it lads...

I love the Easter egg of Bigwell singing daisy bell, which is the first song ever sung by a robot

31:56 🎶Hit me, baby, one more time🎶

30:16 The guy that wrote the original source material for this, William Joyce, also created Rolie Polie Olie the kid's show. He's a local legend; we have a mural for Rolie Polie Olie downtown. He also wrote the source material for Meet the Robinsons, Epic (2013), and Rise of the Guardians~~~^.^

Bigweld was voiced by the comedy genius, Mel Brooks

Piper's voice actor is Amanda Bynes.

I remember rewatching the Aunt Fanny fart scene 8 years later at 13 ...And I was laughing *SO HARD* that I couldn't even breathe! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This film is such a fever dream. BUG ANIME EYES is a classic 😂 this was also the first time I ever heard ewan mcgregor’s American accent 😂😂😂

That one basement scene with the silver dude's mum's workers doing stuff with the robot parts, the music Underground is just the best istg

Fender: "We, sir.." Gasket: "I'm a woman." Crank: "Ouch." (Glass shatters) 😂😂😂

this, cars, toy story and shrek have the most dirty jokes in kids content ever

32:15 They didn't notice the pipes were making sounds similar to lightsabers. Another reference.

this is THE best Blue Sky movie

Genuinely one of the most underrated movies of all time. I really wish more reactors watched it. Aunt Fanny is so iconic and Robin Williams as Fender is just the gift that keeps giving.

Just a fun fact about Robin Williams: the man was a major anime fan, and even wanted to play the role of Gendo Ikari if a live action versions of Neon Genesis Evangelion had ever been made

I used to watch this movie all the time as a kid. I never really cared that much about the characters or story, I just liked watching for the neat robot designs, fun contraptions and incredible environments.

Let no one forget that Bigweld is an entrepreneur that started his own business and built it into a massive success. He _is_ capitalism personified. People thinking this movie is anti-capitalist don't actually understand how economics work.

This is one of my favorite animated classics. Blue Sky Studios gave us so many jewels, including the Ice Age saga.

There was a time where I only had this movie and a dvd player, no cable or anything, I watched this movie hundreds of times and I still absolutely adore it

RIP to the rest of the crew

- This movie’s original concept was going to be a screwball comedy with musical numbers - Notice that on the "Map of the Stars' Homes" that Fender is holding has parody names of famous stars like: Jeremy Irons, Orson Wheels = Orson Welles, Axle Rose = Axl Rose, Britney Gears = Britney Spears (which is funny that her song is used), Farrah Faucet = Farrah Fawcett, & M.C. Hammer - There is a robotic version of Sid the Sloth from Ice Age that appears when Rodney first enters Robot City

I dont think ive ever seen this movie but the look of it, the posters and the characters have always been iconic childhood wise for me

Robots is such an underrated movie, and I still love it to this day.

I find it super cool that the robot design aesthetics are used to emphasize the story The poor robots are of course rusted and vintage looking, but also a with lot of bright colors. Yellow, red, green, orange, etc. All the "inventor" robots have a lot of silver/grey in their design. Rachet is of course completely metallic, and everything he builds has a similar all chrome minimalist design. Bigweld is brushed aluminum, with black and some gold/copper accents. A lot of his designs have circles and natural curves with smooth motion. The female robot with the roller blade feet is kinda a mix of Rachet+bigweld, because she is initially on Rachets team, but she still is loyal to Bigweld's dream. She looks high tech and shiny, but with a black dress as well as lots of circles and arcs. Rodney also has lots of silver and chrome, but it is mixed with some light blue to associate him with colorful protagonists.

The amount of puns in this movie satiates my love for puns, such a fun underrated gem

2:19 Something we wish all babies had.

I forgot how much i loved this movie the couple times i saw it as a kid. Its almost crazy to see a reaction showing it actually holds up past childhood nostalgia.

I remember having the cereal box video game of this movie when I was a kid.

This movie is the definition of „underrated“ I used to play the PS2 game for this

YES! ROBOTS! Such a good yet creepy movie! 6:47: R.I.P Robin Williams

Hell yeah, they'll finally know the wonder and majesty of BIGWELD!

As a kid I wouldn't understand the "making the baby is the fun part" joke.

The part with Fender dancing to Hit Me Baby One More Time is probably my favorite part.

This was one of my favorite movies back in the mid-2000s. And even today it still brings me a chuckle!

Young Justice is another series to react to 🤩

I don't know why but this reminds of the movie Repo: The Genetic Opera, where people have to pay for organ replacements due to a organ failure epidemic and they get hacked if they miss a payment. This makes me think of a potential sequel for that where organ replacement isn't enough anymore and the rates have gone up, so certain people have been secretly building prosthetics from whatever they can find(scrap/junk/whatever)and eventually that evolved into the 'Robots' civilization cos the robots needing spare parts and getting captured to go to the chop shop works the same way.

Buying yourself a mug that says worlds best boss? Oh that’s totally Blitzø

man i love Robin Williams he really gives 100% in his roles wish there was more of him. Fender is one of his great underrated roles

Oh my god I LOVED this movie as a kid! Especially with the legendary Robin Williams, may he rest in peace. 💐💐💐 We miss you, Robin.

this movie was one of my favorites as a kid, and wow, the animation still holds up! the creativity around the robots and their enviroment is SO GOOD

This movie means the world to me. First movie I saw multiple times at the cinema, actually saw it three times! I was obsessed with it, still am

Fun fact, they hired Blue Man Group for some of the tracks! (Mainly they did the drumbeats in the Chopshop theme)

I absolutely adore this movie and it is so underappreciated. I don't care about plot holes or how some stuff doesn't make sense, literally just enjoy the ride! Robin Williams is so fun, I laugh every single time, especially during his Britney Spears moment. Such a great movie for kids and adults. O love your reactions, I knew you would laugh at everything!

For a very long time this is one of my favorite animated movies out there. I remember going to the movie theater to watch this film & getting the small toys with it. Fun fact this movie was going to be a musical, which is way there a lot of music moments.

I loved this movie as a kid specifically the Bigweld and dominos scene

I’ve watched this movie a lot as a kid, and it STILL holds up as a classic✨

Pretty sure this movie planted the seed of my love of machines and science. I always imagined how cool it would be to build my own little flying pet. I also just loved the grungy dieselpunk thing the chop shop had goin on, as well as the monolithic futuristic next generation sweepers, the black and copper/gold bigweld architecture, with lots of nested circles/arcs which move in and out of each other, and all the spring steel/spiral wind up springs incorporated into designs.

This movie is my childhood and it influenced my career choice when I was a kid

Me and my sister would watch this movie all the time when we were kids. Our favorite joke was the back of the hand one.

Watched this as a kid when it came out, such a memorable and quotable movie 😅

still one of the greatest movies to watch as a kid and the memes just made the movie even better lmao

this is one of the most nostalgic movies ever, I remember being like 4 and coming out to the living room on christmas and there was a portable dvd player sitting there for me and it was playing robots

Its crazy I just rewatched this movie a couple of nights ago, now you guys are watching it! It still holds up and makes me miss Robin Williams' presence

Man, this was such an underrated gem and it's pretty dark looking back at it.

i love this movie so much

the slogan over the door has a phrase burned into my head from the commentary track (its a good and reasonably technical commentary so good if you are interested in animation) one of the guys says "thats a steeve martino original font" (i think steeve was the art director) dont know why that stayed in my head but it did, also the rivet town tower changes position 3 times in the film just to keep it in shot to help with the feel of the town

i remember growing up on the rez, no cable. we only had dvds and this was one of the gems . you guys just keep putting out bangers! much love

Such a classic Movie. Seeing this on DVD so many times ⭐✨

“Aunt Franny! We were using our arms!” xD

So one year on Christmas they replayed the hell out of this movie on I think TNT? The WHOLE day. My brother and I thought it was a mistake on the tv guide so we just keep watching it over and over. We had the words memorized and would say them in time with the movie. Our mom HATED this movie by the 4th watch threw. Because she KNEW we weren't going to stop. We were DETERMINED to see if would actually play all day. Barely touched our Christmas presents. Just watched this movie for HOURS. Could NEVER find this movie again on tv and our mom absolutely REFUSED to buy the dvd for us. Good times. 🤣

I remember watching this as a kid and imagining the fight between Wonder Bot and Madame Gasket was like Yoda versus Sidious 🤣 given both Robots and ROTS were released the same year, as well as Ewan McGregor voicing the main character, i think that’s actually super hilarious.

The dvd for this had little mini games in it that was pretty fun

I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid and the "making the baby's the fun part" went right over my head until now.

Glad to see that you enjoy this underrated classic.

One of my favorite movies. When I was in middle school and my cousins where in elementary this was our after school movie. Watched it in my room as a movie theater room and popcorn and snacks.

I absolutely loved this movie when I was younger. Glad to see it still holds up.

I feel a bit sad for Boom not reacting to it with them. I know he's seen it but I can't help laughing, imagining all the Aunt Fanny comments he would have been making. XD

Honestly one of the most underrated movies ever

Honestly i think this movie is what gave me my fobia of robots/anything that's electrical and big enough to squish me. The villian gives me major uncanny valley

19:47 I've never heard such a high pitched laugh from ruff

Man I remember the minigames they used to have on DVDs. This movie and Kung fu Panda's were my favorites (and also the hardest). Playing a laggy ass video game with your TV remote. Lol it was both the best and the worst.

You can actually still get heelys! They run their own website now and they do sell adult sizes as well.

16:00 you tell em gurl

Ah yes, my childhood has entered the building, loved this movie growing up, and looking back... Jesus how many adult jokes did I miss?!

I feel like disney and other studios did twist villains for like 10+ years that people forget that regular villains can just exist

Man, I remember borrowing this movie from the public library when I was like 10.

I have no idea why but certain elements of this movie remind me of Meet the Robinsons. I feel like you guys would have a blast with that movie!! One of my favorite Disney movies.

I loved the dvd version due to special features and I used to always play with the robot dancing feature
