Flashes of wit and whimsy notwithstanding, the future is just as sentimentalized as the past.

A baby being left on the doorstep of an orphanage has been done many times, yet Meet the Robinsons makes it feel new again, and not just because of the fantastic 3-D technology.

...the movie possesses an unusually bright and colorful sense of style that immediately sets it apart from its increasingly plentiful brethren.

Pleasant but insubstantial, and with characters whose eccentricities feel just a tad forced and artificial, this is a mild diversion of a film.

Despite its obvious shortcomings, Meet the Robinsons left me wanting a little more. It's been a long, long time since a Disney film without a little lamp logo at the beginning has made me feel that way.

A film of terribly alienating character design (so many pinchy faces and tiny eyes!) blended with very plastic-y backgrounds.

A sweetly-rendered story that also happens to look terrific.

The film has a freewheeling, quick-hit absurdism closer to Airplane! than Aladdin.

This shrine to Disney is really the world's most overstuffed Hanna-Barbera cartoon, right down to its Gargamel-patterned villain.

Prone to migraine headaches, I wish the frenzied pace of 'Meet the Robinsons' had been toned down. Still, youngsters will probably love the ride.

The animation strives for 1950s sci-fi retro, but the result is that everyone looks like a plastic animé doll.

It’s very expensive to take your whole family to the movies these days and this is one movie that you will not feel as if you’ve wasted your money.
