There's no story here. It has a kind of an interesting look. It's sweet and it's just not funny at all. The jokes are very tired.

Robots is more than a load of spare parts, but there are some sprockets and rivets missing.

As miraculous as the setting is and the realization of Wedge's vision, the story fails to really engage on any level save the kinetic.
