4 out of 5 stars Interesting plot but too abrupt ending    December 31, 2008
Helen S. Lam
Interesting plot for an animated film. Like many other films, the ending seemed too abrupt and left me not 100% satisfied.

I have been trying to watch MEET THE ROBINSONS for nearly a year now. Each time I sat down to watch it, my three year old needed mommy for something else. Finally, she, herself, is old enough to enjoy it, so we all sat down together to watch this Disney film. What fun we had!

Disney did a nice job with MEET THE ROBINSONS. This film is beautifully animated, had a nice, happy story, and puts a smile on the of each member of the family. With the added bonus of a little cartoon sci-fi and some time-travel, MEET THE ROBINSONS will appeal to almost everyone.

In MEET THE ROBINSONS, Lewis is a geeky little 12 year old inventor, who was left at the 6th Street Orphanage soon after his birth. A very sweet, but very quirky boy, Lewis has never found quite the right family to adopt him. Lewis's world suddenly gets turned upside down when mysterious people begin popping into his life. One kid, Wilber, has a time machine and takes Lewis back to the future to fix a very big mess. There, Lewis meets the wacky Robinson family. They would seem to be the perfect family for young Lewis, but of course, there is a catch. Madness and mayhem ensue, and, of course, there is that pesky disturbance in the space-time contimuum to worry about. Lewis must work hard to save the day, overcoming self doubt and evil henchmen. In the end, he gains a loving home and family, which is all he ever wanted.

MEET THE ROBINSONS is a very cute, very charming, very off beat family film. It teaches wonderful messages: Don't be so afraid to fail that you never try, failing is good as long as you do your best, just keep trying until you get it right. All are excellent messages for children of all ages in today's fear of failure world.

The animation is MEET THE ROBINSONS is nice looking with great vivid colors and fun images. The world of the future is perfect...straight out of the imagination of a 12 year old boy of the early 1960s...bubble transportation, sentient robots, singing frogs...great, great fun.

MEET THE ROBINSONS is the perfect family movie for a nice, entertaining evening at home. Curl up together and enjoy. Don't forget the popcorn. RECOMMENDED.


5 out of 5 stars Very inventive, fun, with a very weird family...    December 6, 2008
Aimee Ford Conner (At home)
I adore this movie. Not only is it good clean fun (so my sensitive kids can handle it) the storyline is really, really fun -- and funny. And so convoluted that you gotta watch it twice just to make sure you get it all -- and that's something fun to look forward to. Loved it. Just loved it. The frogs singing Sinatra were only one of the high points...


5 out of 5 stars Best Disney flick in ages    December 4, 2008
S. Hunt (Ann Arbor, Michigan)
We really enjoyed this and wish we'd caught it earlier! The characters and smart and dynamic and the plot isn't dumbed down. Adults will enjoy catching the references to movies like "Fargo," "Benny & Joon" and "Pulp Fiction." Our 2 and a 1/2 year old was riveted although the plot was mostly beyond him. He loved all the flying spaceships, robots and dinosaurs nonetheless.


5 out of 5 stars Good job!    December 3, 2008
