Meet the Robinsons Reviews

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.

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!)
