Who created the Academy Award winning short film "Bunny" and the worldwide box-office smash ICE AGE,

In the film you'll meet memorable bots Rodney copper bottom (Ewan McGregor), a young genius inventor who dreams of helping robots everywhere: Cappy (Halle Berry), a beautiful, dynamic and savvy bot with whom Rodney is instantly smitten, the nefarious corporate tyrant Ratchet (Greg Kinnear) who locks horns with Rodney: Bigweld (Mel Brooks),

A master inventor who has lost his way; and a group of misfit 'bots known as the Rusties, led by Fender (Robin Williams) and Piper Pinwheeler (Amanda Bynes).

Fender's head, arms, and legs routinely fall off at the most inopportune moments. As Rodney fulfills Fender's ongoing need for repairs, the two become fast friends. Piper is Fender's tomboy kid sister, who surprises everyone with her determination and strength.

The result is a timeless, comedic tale that pushes the boundaries of animation while introducing characters rich with physical humor and soul, and a heart-warming story that proves that a robot can shine no matter what she or she is made of.
