I just watched this. It was both simultaneously awful and highly 
entertaining. I fully understand why the critics retched at it and the 
general public paid lots of money. :-)

Pretty much. It's hard to see on some of the machines with less screen time, 
like the sucker-upper machine.

I liked how much personality and realistic movement they managed to put into 
them. The panther machine, for example, was quite impressively animated. I'm 
surprised they got away with so few animators - I expected more names in the 
credits.

I liked how you could tell which robot was the blender, which was the 
garbage disposal, which was the toaster, etc. Very cleverly animated even 
for a very short screen appearance.
