What might have been a bland Back to the Future rip-off suddenly hums with a screwball sensibility chockablock with singing gangster frogs and evil bowler hats.
Top CriticWhether you see this loony, feel-good comedy in 3-D or in regular vision, it's a lot of fun.
The first 20 minutes of this competently animated kids' adventure are entertaining enough. But thereafter, the plot fractures, the pace goes into overdrive and the jokes wear thin.
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.
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.
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.
A hilarious and adorable science fiction film with great animation, top notch voice work, and sharp humor...
...the movie possesses an unusually bright and colorful sense of style that immediately sets it apart from its increasingly plentiful brethren.
Clever time-travel adventure for the whole clan.
Extras on the disc include a full length audio commentary by director Stephen Anderson and a collection of three deleted scenes.
Pleasant but insubstantial, and with characters whose eccentricities feel just a tad forced and artificial, this is a mild diversion of a film.
a whiz-bang terrific flight of fancy that is a paean to both the creative impulse that drives inventors, and the boundless optimism that keeps them going in the face of long odds and the skepticism of their less imaginative fellow creatures
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.
If only the middle of the film didn't misfire as badly as one of Lewis's inventions.
...never seems to know when to stop. ...the movie looks seriously like a case of too many cooks in the kitchen.
...a movie with its heart in the right place and its computers heading off in all different directions.
A film of terribly alienating character design (so many pinchy faces and tiny eyes!) blended with very plastic-y backgrounds.
