Animated family comedy featuring the voices of Ewan Mc Gregor, Robin Williams & Halle Berry. Rodney Copperbottom (Mc Gregor) is a small town robot who has a gift for inventing things & a hope of moving beyond his quaint surroundings. He works side by side in a restaurant with his dad who is a dishwasher
- literally a dishwasher. You open his chest & load in the dishes. Rodney has dreams of something greater. Armed with his unique talent for inventing, Rodney embarks on a journey to Robot City to meet his idol, the majestic inventor Bigweld (Mel Brooks). An iconic figure in all of Robot City, Bigweld has spent a lifetime creating things to make the lives of robots better. Once in Robot City, Rodney finds that things are not quite as he expected, & his quest may be a lot harder than he imagined. As he tries to navigate his way around this new city, Rodney befriends the Rusties, a ragtag group of street-smart bots who know the ropes. One of the Rusties, Fender (Williams), immediately becomes Rodney's best friend & even lets his spunky kid sister Piper Pinwheeler (Amanda Bynes) tag along. They take him in, & for now, at least, Rodney has a home in Robot City. Rodney also meets Cappy (Berry), an executive at Bigweld Industries who takes an instant liking to Rodney & sees a lot of herself in him. Along their adventures, Rodney & his new friends encounter unsavoury characters who try to derail Rodney's plans to find Bigweld & save Robot City.
