It was a surprisingly good movie.

The 3D version is visually stupefying.

its a very funny animated movie that is great for the kids it could have a bit more morals to it but it was a film for the kids.

it's a really good movie. It is something different which has a lot of imagination, though it can be better. Characters could have had more personality and even more action could be added.

it has a neat phrase Keep Moving Forward.

Great manic fun with a beautiful visual style from William Joyce.

This is a great childrens movie that moves at a good pace for short attention spans and has a feel good moral theme that all children should hear.

Glad to see the critics are mostly liking this. I was thoroughly entertained by this one, which falls somewhere between "Over the Hedge" and "Flushed Away" for me (for those familiar with other recent animated offerings). It works on multiple levels, and though the story may not be completely original, it has the feel of something you have not seen before. Trust me, you could be dishing your hard-earned dollars for sooooooo much less... Well recommended.… Expand

really good disney film that goes back to disney's roots, a really good film for children, teenagers, and parents. Really good message and reminds us of the disney films we grew up with.

I thought this movie was great! I saw it twice and in 3-D. I just love it. I thought it had a great story and a great message for kids. This movie is def. for all ages soo get out there and see it!!

This movie was so bad I just about threw up on myself! It was a total disgrace to disney!

I love this movie. A little predictable and a few consistency issues but the message is inspiring on a personal level for me. This is one of my favorite movies.

I think this will be a comeback for disney animation and a great source of neat material as well.

This movie is terrible and a disgrace to Disney. If you have any respect for classic Disney or even for yourself, DO NOT see this movie.

3D Animation is superb, but the story will be quite confusing to young children but nevertheless a lot of fun.

Rarely has any movie--any genre, animated or not--so completely, frustratingly, maddeningly self-destructed in so many different ways after such a promising, enjoyable start. Lewis, an orphaned child who grows up to be a pre-adolescent would-be inventor (with a hairstyle that's probably meant to evoke Back to the Future's Doc Brown but put me more uncomfortably in mind of There's Something About Mary) builds a portable time machine in hopes of visiting the past and discovering his real parentage...until his plans get interrupted by a slightly older boy from the future who needs his help and a stereotypical, Oil Can Harry-type villainous figure looking to throw several monkey wrenches into the works. This Disney-produced CGI film's early scenes--set in Lewis's orphanage and at his school's science fair--are fun, and feature several amusing characters: an overcaffeinated teacher, a dimly self-important coach (who wears the most potentially obscene pair of shorts ever seen in a G-rated feature) and the orphanage's appealingly levelheaded director (warmly voiced by Angela Bassett). Once the time travel begins, everything falls apart. The futuristic Robinson family that Lewis encounters in his adventure is apparently three parts the Sycamore clan from Frank Capra's You Can't Take It With You and two parts the Addams family; they (and this picture) suffer from the same malady that thoroughly wrecked Madagascar, Robots, Shark Tale, nearly every Simpsons episode of the last ten years and every Family Guy episode period--a willful lack of comic discipline on the part of the filmmakers and writers that allows them self-permitted carte blanche to throw every joke they came up with in script conferences (no matter how unfunny, tasteless or character-inappropriate), guaranteeing a singularly annoying moviegoing experience to be followed in three months by a DVD with no deleted scenes. Worst of all is this movie's astonishingly heartless climax, in which a peripheral character we care about is left out in the cold and the only plot element in which we had any emotional stake is cavalierly dismissed. The movie's theme, delivered with predictable sledgehammer subtlety, is to forget the past and look to the future--a philosophy the movie ascribes to Walt Disney himself--but all the brightly-colored if unimaginative design, 3-D gimmickry and the apparent eleventh-hour participation of Pixar genius John Lassiter in a futile attempt to patch this mess together doesn't change the fact that the kids in my audience (who spent a lot of Meet the Robinsons' running time chasing each other up and down the aisles and throwing popcorn) were far more interested in the vintage Mickey Mouse cartoon that preceded this. Roger Ebert once postulated that it's impossible to make a good movie that features a hot air balloon (and later admitted that he forgot The Wizard of Oz). Well, repeated viewings of It's A Wonderful Life, the Back to the Future movies, the Terminator films, Time After Time and (of course) the 1960 version of The Time Machine could convince many moviegoers that it's equally impossible to make a BAD film that features a time-travel device. No, it isn't.… Expand

Incredibly underrates by critics, this film should amass a cult following in the future. Disney's most moving animated feature since "Lilo & Stitch," "Robinsons" combines a wildly imaginative visual style with a sweetly moving family story. I laughed lots, and cried even more. A perfect little gem.

I'm a big fan of animation, (and the offspring of a long-time Disney employee), but I was especially disappointed by this film. The "plastic" (or plaster?) appearance of the characters was not at all charming, and the jokes were stunningly flat. I saw it on DVD, having missed the 3D theatrical release, and had to fight the urge to turn it off before it finished.

I have to agree with the critic who said this movie must be made for kids w/ ADD...the first 2/3 of this is film is a frenetic rollercoaster ride. It's not until the last 30 min that it settles down and the story comes full circle. And then I cried, because I'm a sap.

An absolutely despicable waste of time and an insult to animated cinema, Meet the Robinsons is not funny or entertaining at all, and is easily one of the ten worst films I've ever seen. I only give it a 2 because it has nice CGI animation, other than that it's a horrible mess of monumental proportions. Another fantastic reason for why I have such difficulty liking these animated films.

A generic, inoffensive attempt at Disney trying to make a Pixar film and failing. I can't imagine anybody, children or adults, having an overwhelming positive take on this because of how incredibly bland it is. The only funny part is in the trailer, and after having seen it so many damn times, it was exhausted seeing it in full context. Step it up, Disney.

this is way better than Chicken Little

Great movie. It was actually entertaining enough I'll admit. Worth a watch.

Taking in account that it's a animation movie for kids, it's quite fun to watch. Cliche jokes that turn out pretty funny and crazy characters to roll it all up. I had lots of fun watching this.
