2/5
The animation strives for 1950s sci-fi retro, but the result is that everyone looks like a plastic anim doll. Go to Full Review Stephen Garrett Time Out 04/07/2007

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. Go to Full Review Richard Roeper Ebert & Roeper 04/02/2007

Both one of Disney's most moving and entertaining efforts, the film is one of the rare near-flawless outings for the studio. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 11/26/2020

Olivia G @ogg99 Jul 2 Very creative and fun animation. The message was wholesome and left me feeling encouraged. #keepmovingforward 💫 See more E.D. J @Salty_Sass Jun 27 A funny movie, it has some emotional moments but the movie tends to slow down during those moments. I prefer the comedy See more miley B @miley.bogo Jun 18 most slept on disney movie ever!! just rediscovered it after a few years and now i have watched it 4 days in a row!! See more Egg M @RT39671670 May 16 Definitely an underated animated film. Has silliness, darkness, loss, gain and a deeper look into ourselves. The world is beautifully designed and well animated. The characters are well thought out and unique. The music stays with you for a long time. I think it's amazing as a standalone film and does not need a sequel. If one is made though, maybe with Cornelius as a teenager, I would definitely watch in theatre. I hope more people discover this movie and pass it on to others. Will always be one of my favourite animated films. See more Iceman T. @RT16631301 May 8 This is one of my favorite childhood movies ever See more LAA A @LAA84 May 2 A Disney animated film about Lewis, an orphan who invents a time-travel device to discover the truth about his mother. - Story: 2/2 – Deep and emotional for an animation. - Plot: 2/2 – Surprising twists keep it engaging. - Visuals: 1/2 – Graphics are the weak point. - Enjoyment: 1/2 – Fun but not consistently captivating. Overall: 7/10 – Touching, imaginative, and worth watching. See more Read all reviews
