I am not kidding. If you dont know, "Robots" was another one of those animated 3D movies made for kids, but i swear it, this movie is based on anti-capitalism, or at least showing what capitalism does. I was amazed at what this movie showed (Yes, i did watch a movie for children 4+)! I even was taking sub notes during it, as to what this movie was showing. Ill just post them in short.

- Buisness fraud
- Female worker discrimination
- What advertising does/ False advertising
- The treatment big corporations give their worker....NONE
- Sweatshop Labor
- Ties between corporations and sweatshops
- The bad effects of Industry and Technology
- Classism/segregation

And also during it, it gives off ideas as to how you can..

- Fight Capitalism while living in a capitalist society. By that i mean smaller buisness's succeding pretty much. Thats at least how they show it in the movie.

- Fight against censorship/propaganda

- The ability to start a revolt on corporations

Im really not kidding by all this, if you have the spare hour and a half, go check this movie out. And its entertaining too for a kid movie anyway But for real, i truely think this movie was completly on the "left" and is def. worth watching.

In the movie the heroes went to an old capitalist for help, while you had the masses rise up it was only to
put the old capitalist back in power, not much of a revolutionary message.
