Toddy Burton Austin Chronicle The animation strives for 1950s sci-fi retro, but the result is that everyone looks like a plastic anim doll. Rated: 2/5 Apr 14, 2007 Full Review Stephen Garrett Time Out 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. Rated: 4/6 Apr 7, 2007 Full Review Richard Roeper Ebert & Roeper Whether you see this loony, feel-good comedy in 3-D or in regular vision, it's a lot of fun. Apr 2, 2007 Full Review Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn Both one of Disney's most moving and entertaining efforts, the film is one of the rare near-flawless outings for the studio. Dec 26, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins With innovation, creativity, and heartfelt storytelling, this is solid entertainment for audiences of all ages. Rated: 8/10 Nov 26, 2020 Full Review Sergio Benítez Espinof It's not a big deal, I know, but we can always console ourselves thinking it could have been much worse.

Noe G Meet the Robinsons is the greatest Disney animated film, and my rating is a 10/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/10/25 Full Review Dylan C. Tbh I only loved it cuz of the mind control part XD Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/03/25 Full Review Clara R Eu achei o filme com uma mensagem muito bonita e foi muito divertido assistir, tem partes que são realmente meio estranhas como a parte dos sapos, mas o filme realmente e interessante. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/22/25 Full Review Kombucha P The best disney movie. Period. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/25 Full Review Christian W It’s a decent film. I like the futurism and I like that this movie made smart movies. The Plot Twists are also pretty good. My only problem with this film is that it’s over-comedic in some moments. It’s only not comedic when we get to parts like Lewis’s mom/family. Still decent though: Nice Plot Twist, Smart Moves, Great Futurism. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/25 Full Review Juju S Je pense que j'ai regardé beaucoup de trop de séries ou de films avec la thématique de voyage dans le futur, mais je ne peux m'empêcher de penser qu'en ayant rencontré sa future famille et même son futur lui, il est impossible qu'il n'y ait pas de conséquence. Cet aspect m'a laissé dubitative et ne m'a pas permis de profiter du potentiel du film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
