I watched this movie a while back, it wasn't that great. It was too slow and not what I expected. All the funniest parts were ofcourse in the previews then their was nothing left. It just wasn't that funny and the plot wasn't that original. It was like a remade… read full review »

From the first time I viewed the trailer I was excited to see this film from Disney, "Meet the Robinsons".  It turns out that I was not disappointed either.  — The film starts off with a young 13 year-old Lewis, an egghead wannabe inventor who lives in an orphanage and shares a room with his best friend Michael, (or as he's better known as -Goob).  In-between his inventive inventions he is interviewing for potential parents to take him into his new family. — At a science-fair at school, he is encountered by a strange new character Wilbur who… read full review »

This movie was great on so many levels. There were many things that touched close to home with me and my family. I would sit and watch this movie over and over and at the end I would cry every time! (in this movie the tears at the end is a good thing!) — I loved that they referenced Steamboat Willie and then made the movie in honour of Walt Disney. That was very touching. Then there was the topic of adoption, I have several family members that were adopted and so this hit home for me. And then we can't forget there was the one thing that as kids everyone dreams about...going… read full review »

We received this movie on DVD as a gift, and it did not disappoint! :) Lewis is an orphan, whose mother left him on a doorstep when he was an infant. Just before he turns 13, he decides to search her out. When the Bowler Hat Guy ruins his invention, he goes into the future with Wilbur Robinson, who shows him a fantastic and fun future. Lewis learns he is the key to this future, and Keeps Moving Forward to make it a realization. — My favorite themes from this movie are family, never giving up, and humor! They Robinsons are absolutely crazy, and I adore them! I love the older references,… read full review »

Meet the Robinson's is a great film for all children to view, preferably with their parents or other adult(s). In the beginning of the movie, I was a little confused, as was my 19 year old daughter, as it tends to skip around a lot, but eventually the story line becomes clear. There are so many positive messages: including, the positive aspects of being adopted, the hard decision the birth mother made (I am adopted myself), failure does not mean stop trying, rather "keep moving forward," which is an oft used saying later in the film, etc. — The movie had funny parts, a few mildly scary… read full review »

We rented this movie and have already watched it twice in three days!  Our six year old loves to "invent" things so this movie could not be more perfect.  I loved the quirky family- I think that it was a great way to show that every family has it's own beat.  Every family doesn't just have  "regular" folks.  The main lesson about never giving up is a huge thing for kids to learn and I think it was a great theme to the movie.  We also realy like how it taught that you can learn so mush from failures, maybe even more than from your… read full review »

A great movie.  I took my four year old to the movie in the theater and she sat for the whole movie.  It has a great theme about not giving up and that if you don't try you can't succeed.  The future world is very colorful and keeps younger kids interested.  Adult can enjoy thinking about the characters and members of thier own family.  We now have the DVD and my daughter loves to watch it about once a… read full review »

Wow! What a movie! If the dinosaur isn't good enough for you, how about the idea of meeting your entire family before they're you're family? Traveling through time and seeing all the wonderful progress....what an adventure! Who wouldn't want to be able to see how life turns out when we grow up? For a kid who never quite fit in, this was a wonderful story! Love happy endings! Even the villan… read full review »

This is such a great movie!  If you like inspirational movies (like Happy Feet), then you will love this movie.  My kids immediately got up at the end of the movie and started talking about all the things they wanted to invent.  It is a great movie, with a great message, and was entertaining all the way through.  I would watch this movie over and over… read full review »

Absolutely loved this movie!  Wonderful color, great message and just the right amount of surprise at the end.  In truth this is my new favorite! — Couldn't help but start the movie all over again when it was over.  It is full of cute details, hilarious scenes and catchy one liners. — Not the typical story from Disney which is refreshing.  —… read full review »

This movie is awesome. The whole family loves to watch this!!!!! It has such a positive message and shows that sometimes differences can be good. Also, never to give up. We have a 9 year old son who always gives up but after seeing this movie he tries harder and asks for help if he feels he can not do it instead of giving up.… read full review »
