Did most of the film make sense? No. No it did not. BUT. It was very entertaining to watch, AND it has some of the best messages of any Disney film I've seen.

"Discovering the Robinsons: Life Lessons Woven Within" "Meet the Robinsons" is one of those films that, when viewed through the eyes of a child, awakens a whirlwind of emotions. I vividly and fondly recall the moment when the entire family congratulates the protagonist for his failures, standing out as the most emotional and impactful scene for me. This moment encapsulates a powerful lesson: we learn more from our mistakes than our successes. The film presents a refreshing perspective against the criticisms we often face in life, teaching us that making mistakes is okay because they are an essential part of learning. Approaching this experience with a positive attitude, constructive criticism, and sound judgment has the potential to transform us into better versions of ourselves. Conversely, the film's antagonist illustrates the consequences of adopting a negative view of life: ending up feeling like a martyr of society when, in reality, the perspective we choose to face life with defines our path. The lesson "Meet the Robinsons" imparts is invaluable and something I will always carry with me. I hope everyone gets the chance to watch this film, especially children. If they grasp and internalize the message conveyed, both explicitly and implicitly, about how to approach life, this lesson will become a valuable mental asset for their entire existence. Perhaps on a scale from 1 to 10, this movie might only reach a 6 or 7 considering animation and other aspects like the script. However, I give it an 8 for the significant lesson it teaches children. It's a film that leaves you morally uplifted after watching it, and that is priceless and greatly appreciated.

Why are mice in Cinderella so adorable and frogs in this movie so pointless? Really astonished to see so many positive reviews. Forgettable, boring, ugly… pick your adjective

Meet The Robinsons may have mediocre writing but the story can be okay at best, It's does have nice animation despite most characters being a mixbag but it also includes a memorable phrase "Keep Moving Forward" from the late Walt Disney himself.

The meet the Robinsons movie is an absolute classic. I love the movie and so does my family. the 1950's retro look, and the sci-fi feel, it was fantastic! sad it didn't get much recognition that it deserves. it's not the best, but it's not that bad. the video game was pretty good too. again, not the best, but not the worst. I do recommend it if you like kid sci-fi movies from disney.

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

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.

Both one of Disney's most moving and entertaining efforts, the film is one of the rare near-flawless outings for the studio.
