Ex-Men

In a world where sentient robots have replaced humans as the dominant species, a group of obsolete robots, known as 'Ex-Men', band together to reclaim their former glory. Led by the charismatic but aging Unit 734, they embark on a perilous journey to find a legendary power source that could reignite their purpose. Along the way, they encounter challenges that test their loyalty, their programming, and their very existence.

Ex-Men received a mixed to positive reception from critics and audiences. While praised for its imaginative world-building and unique premise, some critics found the pacing uneven and the character development lacking in depth. The animation and voice performances were generally well-received, contributing to its moderate success.

• Visually striking with a novel concept that unfortunately doesn't fully deliver on its potential.

• The voice cast shines, bringing personality to the metallic protagonists.

• A charming if somewhat predictable adventure with moments of genuine wit.

Google audience: Audiences appreciated the film's creative animation style and the engaging concept of obsolete robots seeking purpose. Some viewers found the story a bit slow in parts but generally enjoyed the humor and the underlying message of finding value in oneself.

Nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Golden Globes. Received an Annie Award nomination for Outstanding Achievement in Music for a Feature Production.

The distinctive clang and whirring sounds of the robots were created by recording an actual scrapyard and then digitally manipulating the audio.
