>the entire conflict is solved when the evil CEO capitalist is replaced by the benevolent CEO capitalist
Interesting movie

the failure of a society is not in allowing individuals to do wrong but in failing to account for it

>>151229662 (OP)
They never even explained why Big Weld left

Was there really no other company besides Bigweld Industries that manufactured spare parts?

Big weld was fat so he had to be good

I love how Piper is in the front when she only has like 2 minutes of total screen time.

The thing is that the movie's metaphor mixes luxury consumerism with what's basically robot healthcare.
The poor robots weren't just poor, they were literally dying on the streets and having their "organs" harvested.

The contemporary discussion about capitalism versus communism isn’t allegorical (I have to bring this up because the cavemen are going to ook at me if they misconstrue me as saying they “aren’t actually concerned about the political side of the discussion”), but the real heart of the capitalism versus communism thing is just the final coagulation of talentless idiots lashing out at talented people with intelligence. It’s savages versus humans. The savages have decided that they’re the communists and anyone who is actually capable of making something is a capitalist, so anyone or anything that doesn’t overtly condemn capitalism is betraying them and needs to die. This is how a family comedy movie like Robots with an evil corpo villain that gets overthrown by an independent-supporting venture capitalist good guy who has more parallels to Thomas Edison (who is also disgraced to these people) than anything can actually be seen as a slight against them instead of as overtly condoning their beliefs when, by all accounts, it should. We’re witnessing a situation where the peanut gallery has come so fucking undone and is so beyond masking their bloodlust and roiling moral indignation that someone better than them isn’t getting crushed *right* *now* that they are *turning their logic-based argumentation on a movie that AGREES WITH THEM* just to get back. It’s fucking crazy.

Aunt Fanny is hot

>>151229662 (OP)
Most realistic ending to an "anti-capitalist" movie ever, desu.

>>151230061
What is the percent possibility that the person who made Aunt Fanny doesn’t have a fart fetish?

>>151230108
70%. We can never be sure, but there's JUST enough to raise suspicion

>>151229711
He was caught groping female employees

>>151230325
He was caught welding their cooches shut.

>>151229771
We don't know how the Robot world works.

>>151229662 (OP)
JUST LIKE IN REAL LIFE! :D

>>151230325
Oh, dear...

>The conflict is resolved then there's no more conflict
Yeah?

>>151229780
Basically this. He also wore glasses, didn't he?

>>151229796
If it works, it works. Simple as.

Either Ratchet made the company more profitable than he could or he became less popular than Ratchet among his colleagues. Regardless, he lost his motivation and left, with Ratchet constantly sending him dominoes to keep him busy.

Why did Piper get cucked

>>151230076
Why the quotes? Blue Sky was one of the only mainstream studios I could believe was earnest in their messaging since they were based out of Connecticut. It's ironic that a film about robots has more heart than anything the other competition were making at the time

>>151229884
Damn false advertising...

>>151229958
Because its not a confused metaphor for healthcare in our capitalist hellscape, its a confused metaphor for CGI animation usurping 2D animation.
Big Weld is Walt/Roy Disney complete with the TV show
Ratchet is Michael Eisner, who had gotten so aboard the CGI train that he was making public statements about wanting to do a shot-for-shot CG remake of Pinocchio
Rodney is John Lasseter back when everybody was hyping him up as the second coming of Walt

It's sad that all these years later Ice Age is still their most successful IP.

>>151236767
Better to have one success than none at all.

>>151237149
Balto wasn't successful?

>>151237149
We're back was successful

>>151234205

To subvert expectations/Blue Sky were inexperienced writers

>>151238477
Well I've never seen it, so it couldn't have been.

>>151234205
Harems aren't allowed in Robotworld.

>>151237568
Sadly no
It got the DTV treatment after the fact when it became a cult favorite but at the time it bombed hard and convinced Spielberg to shutter Amblimation and team up with that rat bastard Katzenberg to start Dreamworks instead

>>151238477
No it wasn't lol, unless you have some definition of success that eludes me
It was the first of the one two punches that killed the studio. We're Back was the slightly smaller bomb but a bomb nonetheless

>>151237149
balto got sequels

Robin Williams is a coward.

I'm not following the context

>>151237568
>>151240996
The original animated movie Balto(1995) had a budget of $31 million but only earned approximately $11.3 million in its original theatrical run

>>151229796
It's a good lesson all in all, because they actually proved the system was rigged before going to violence.

>>151234897
That's why the first Rio has so much heart and soul, there's no cynical motives behind it in regards to the messaging, characters and setting beyond any film being a story that has to make a profit

>>151234171
>Either Ratchet made the company more profitable than he could or he became less popular than Ratchet among his colleagues
It's combination of this. Because in some scrapped scenes Ratchet gets a promotion

>>151230108
>haha let's give the older female robot a huge butt that hits and grinds into other robots haha
>haha let's also have her fart really big and smelly, be sure to mention it twice haha
>don't forget to include a scene where she clogs a sentient toilet robot with a huge turd...haha

Yeah they knew what they were doing

>>151245255
I'd ride that bumper

>>151229796
lol

>>151229662 (OP)
Desu a benevolent despot isn't horrible with long as he is truly benevolent. The issue is more all systems will invariably collapse under bad faith actors assuming positions of power and using it to exploit the people they should protect. It seems nothing is immune to human stupidity and greed be it a capitalist, communist or anarchist framework

>>151229662 (OP)
I love this movie very much :)
