Not quite as bad as Ratatoing, The Little Cars and The Little Panda Fighter, but if you're hoping Tiny Robots to be better than What's Up Balloon to the Rescue and Little Bee(both of which almost as bad) hate to break the news but it's not, if anything they're on the same suckage level. As with all Video Brinquedo- coined The Asylum of animated movie studios for a reason, except worse, at least The Asylum has a few tolerable movies- outings, there is no originality to be seen being very derivative of Robots(not a great film but an entertaining one) and WALL-E(one of Pixar's best and one of the best animated films of the past 10 years). Except with none of the entertainment and technical invention of Robots or the enchantment and genuine poignancy of WALL-E. There is at least some bare bones of a story, sadly it is very dull with some repetitive scenes, drawn-out pacing and it doesn't seem to know when or how to end, with events like near-death experiences that could easily have been signs of being nearly at the end. We never care for the characters' journey or get to know them, in fact we never even get to like the characters with all of them being wimps or obnoxious idiots. By the rather cliché tacky ending you were glad to see the back of them. The dialogue is no improvement over the crass and juvenile humour that form part of the Video Brinquedo outings, what is happening is over-simplified and we are even told things through over-explanatory narration that we can actually see which was distracting(like Rock-a-Doodle all over again but much, much worse). The voice acting is just lifeless with everybody, providing that they had any in the first place, seeming to have forgotten their acting lessons. And there is no better news over the animation either, even for robots the characters are designed and move robotically and without feeling, the backgrounds are sparse and blocky and the colours are completely flat, in short a visual eye-sore. To conclude, not the worst Video Brinquedo has done but deserves be left to rust and never revived. 1/10 Bethany Cox
