I think that this film would be successful because it slightly goes against the general idea that robots are usually the bad "people" in a film. This also represents kids as part of the main characters as they have super powers to look after and figure things out for themselves, also contradicting the stereotype of adults being the main characters. As well as this, throughout the movie there is not one specific character that stands out-each character will be presented equally. All in all, I believe that this movie would attract many young adults/ teenagers or even families with children.
