In an age where the rust of reality has dulled the sheen of cinematic imagination, 'RoboGuardians: Peacekeepers of Dystropia' arrives like a well-oiled machine, squeaky clean from the G-rated factory floor. The film follows the escapades of Chip Bolt, a robot whose wit is sharper than his edges, and who seems to believe that laughter can be a renewable resource, even in the bleakest of futures. The film's tagline, 'In gears we trust, to dust we won't rust!' rings with the kind of cheeky optimism that makes you want to recycle your cynicism for something a bit more shiny. Director Sam Raimonkey spins a yarn that is as much fun as robotically possible—balancing slapstick circuitry with heartfelt bleep-bloops. The voice cast is a delightful concoction of metallic charm, with Lion Bacall's Guardo standing firm as the sentinel of sensibility and Jean Arugula's Scouty surveilling the scenes with buoyant bounciness. Cluck Gobble as Motherboard is the motherboard of all performances, guiding our heroes with a wisdom that only a central processing unit could provide. Granted, the narrative might occasionally slip a gear, pitching towards the predictable, but with such high-spirited performances and gears-a-turning action, this flick is far from robotic. It's a family adventure that proves even in a junkyard of dystopian tropes, laughter can still be the best lubricant for peace.
