    Considering it's a Disney movie that always have their bar set high the second you realise the animation in Meet the Robinsons is amazing you are at the same time realising that the stroy is boring. You are absolutely correct. A fantastic example of how modern disney films are de... read morestryoing the once legendary empire. Apart from the animation and a considerable amount of animation it is weird, forgettable and just plain bad.

    I quite liked 'Meet the Robinsons'. It wasn't a classic, memorable, or perfect film, but it was indeed a very good children's film. I will admit, there are times where it is a little too cute for itself, but it is made up by fine animation, as well as a witty script which all mak... read moree this an acceptable yet forgettable film.

    This animated Disney adventure for kids offers quite a complex story including time travels and the paradoxes they can create. Of course it's trying not to get too complicated but there are scenes where younger audiences should easily get lost a little. The problem is that the fi... read morerst half of the film and the very child-oriented humor has not as much to offer for the grown-up audience that usually enjoys a decent animated film. The fact that the film dares to juggle so many characters and offers quite a couple of twists toward the end makes up for that, though. The showdown is fast paced and the ending very sweet, leaving every viewer, no matter what age, happy after all.

    You might not get this from the trailers, but Meet The Robinsons is an awesome movie. It's the first kid's movie to successfully tackle time travel, parallel universes, paradoxes, etc. The core story is really well done ans the characters are extremely well developed. I love how ... read morein the beginning you see all the characters you meet later, except you don't know it's them and only realize it at certain points in the movie. It's really nowhere near as cheesy as I believe it was advertised; in the context of the movie it all makes sense and has plausibility behind it. The past and future work together in a really beautiful fashion and in many ways presents time travel in a very unique way. I loved the musical Frogs, the baby T-Rex and the overly diabolical Villain known as Goob (who is also a heartbreaking child) on top of the central roles. Lewis is a nerd, but in the most believable and cute way possible.

    A great plot, funny jokes, and awesome music. Disney never fails us, my only problem was the animation, it seemed a little low budget for an animated movie. Other than that it was a great movie.

    There is no doubt that Disney is magic. If you don't believe me, watch this movie. It's one of my all time favorites. The story is solid, funny, heartwarming and clever. There aren't any holes in the plot, everything is cleared up from in that special Disney way. It's amazing! An... read mored the Walt Disney quote at the end has me in tears every single time.

Whether you see this loony, feel-good comedy in 3-D or in regular vision, it's a lot of fun.

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

A fast paced, high energy offering; it passes by in a breeze and is enjoyable enough that I'm willing to forgive the two awful songs (one near the beginning, one near the end) and recommend it. Full Review

Meet the Robinsons has six writers credited to a picture that has maybe five good laughs. And at least four of those writers must have had advanced cases of attention deficit disorder. Full Review

A witty, inventive CG adventure that proves there are still new ideas to explore in the digital animation realm. Full Review

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

What might the man who brought us Fantasia and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs make of the backwards-crawling tedium of movies like this? Full Review

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
