    First of all, this was the first time that I've watched a movie where the main character had the same first name as me. It was definitely bemusing to hear the word Lewis over and over. Ok, now to the actual movie.

    My first hour of watching Meet the Robinsons was an utter disast...( read more)er. I hated the art style, it's more bland than the very earliest CGI family movies, and certainly not up to the level of what I would expect from Disney. Look at Toy Story; that movie is years old, yet a single one of those characters had more personality and charm than the entire cast of MtR. The storyline was just an endless stream of unconnected skit after skit, like a Carrot Top performance. It didn't help that for every one of those random situations that was funny, you'd have to suffer through three that were not humorous whatsoever. Most of the random jokes that were constantly being lobbed at the viewer were incredibly un-funny. The only word that I can think of to properly describe it is manic. Even a kid wouldn't be entertained by such a disjointed mess.

    With that said. The movie finally settled down in its last third, and became somewhat involving. A storyline materialized, and though it was predictable, at least it kept the movie moving in one direction. There were even a few occasions to laugh, which I had almost been convinced that I wouldn't do. I probably would never buy Meet the Robinsons, but at least it didn't turn out to be the awful disaster that it seemed to be initially speediing towards becoming.

    Not a Rreview/Late Post:

    Reminds me of Jimmy Neutron for some reason. I cant believe how many people actually rated this so low when its got a very good moral lesson for everyone. Now I know where that singing frog was ta

    Funny, cute and quite like Back to the Future except it is animated.... A very entertaining Disney film and the animation is stellar.

    Not your typical family animation. This movie was going down the drain for a good hour before it came to life. The final 30 minutes are what make this worth seeing. Most of the film is so scatterbrained and farfetched I didn't know why I was watching it. In the end the story ...( read more)finally comes together and is actually good. It's tough to overlook an hour on nonesense and mediocre animation though. Unique and open minds will probably apprecaite this a lot more.

    Cute movie, I'll admit can get a little boring at times, but it's kind of inspiring. (:

Critic Reviews

A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Meet the Robinsons is surely one of the worst theatrically released animated features issued under the Disney label in quite some time.

March 30, 2007
Claudia Puig, USA Today

The movie is inventive and fun with a significant message that manages not to be overbearing. There are some heart-tugging -- but not sappy -- moments. full review

March 30, 2007
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

A 3-D fantasy that's lovely to look at but less than delightful to know. It's insistently, relentlessly busy. full review

March 30, 2007
Pete Hammond, Maxim

Grab a 10 year old, your 3D glasses and experience what these filmmakers certainly hope is the next dimension of interactive family entertainment. full review

March 30, 2007
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Almost as funny as it is hyperactive, the new computer-animated family comedy is luscious to look at and as fizzy as a can of soda popped open in your face. full review

March 29, 2007
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Simply put, it's terrific. full review
