Can anyone help me identify this robot movie? I believe it showed on disney channel once?

Question

I don't really remember the movie well but this is all i can basically remember.

There's this building in this city that won't sell out to developers or something. Then they get visited by these tiny robots i think from space. I think there is a little boy in the movie but i am unsure. Anyways it has these little tiny robots i think some of them could hover or fly by themselves. I am not sure but ti think one looked like a flying saucer...I saw it years ago i just wanted to know if anybody remembers this movie and can tell me the title...i was just looking up movies i saw years ago on disney...

there's this other one with nuns on a bus i remember seeing late on disney i think in vault disney and i rember one with the franken-dog and i just found one i have been looking for for along time (The Cat from Outer Space)

There's also one about these kids that get blueprints to build a spaceship in dreams and build one and go to space where they meet with this spaceship and some ugly aliens lol. I think one designed an oxygen making device...anyone remember this one?

Can anyone please help?

Answer 1

*batteries not included (1987)

starring Jessica Tandy, Hume Cronyn

IMDb synopsis:

A group of tenants in an apartment block are being forced to move out so that it can be demolished. The tenants are reluctant to move, so the developers hire a local gang to "persuade" them to leave. Fortunately, visiting alien mechanical lifeforms come to town. When they befriend the tenants, the aliens use their extraterrestrial abilities to defeat the developers.

The second one, with nuns on a bus, sounds like:

Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows! (1968)

IMDb synopsis:

In this follow-up to "The Trouble with Angels", the wry but wise Mother Superior (Rosalind Russell) of St. Francis Academy For Girls accompanies a group of nuns including modern, progressive Sister George (Stella Stevens), with their high-spirited students on a bus trip across America to a California peace rally. Along the way, they encounter a series of adventures that include multiple bus problems, an overnight stay at a Catholic school for boys run by Father Chase (Van Johnson), a Western dude ranch owned by millionaire Mr. Farraday (Robert Taylor), a flamboyant movie director (Milton Berle) shooting a Western on location, and a bunch of menacing biker toughs.

Explorers (1985)

IMDb synopsis:

Ben Crandall (Ethan Hawke), an alien-obsessed kid, dreams one night of a circuit board. Drawing out the circuit, he and his friends Wolfgang (River Phoenix) and Darren (Jason Presson) set it up and discover they have been given the basis for a spaceship. Setting off in the "Thunder Road", as they name their makeshift ship, they find the hoped-for aliens. But, are they what they seem?

Answer 2

the last movie you were talking about the kids that get dreams of blueprints is called The Explorers
