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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 destryoing the once legendary empire.
