Plot: The son of a dishwashing robot, Rodney Copperbottom (McGregor), wanting to be an inventor, goes to visit Robot City, where he thinks the famous inventor Bigweld (Brooks) will welcome him with open arms. Unfortunately, Bigweld has disappeared, and his company is now controlled by the evil Ratchet (Kinnear), who has decided to manufacture only expensive upgrades - thus phasing out poor robots like Rodney. Animated.
