Austin Chronicle

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

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

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

It's not a big deal, I know, but we can always console ourselves thinking it could have been much worse. [Full Review in Spanish]

Meet the Robinsons might be the most underrated Disney movie of all time. Some of the other more overlooked Disney movies (i.e., Treasure Planet, Atlantis and Emperor's New Groove) have cult followings, but this movie truly flies under the radar. Though the characters are not as memorable as other Disney classics and there isn't the nostalgia associated with musicals, there is so much to love about this film. With a clear message of "Keep Moving Forward" at the forefront, Meet the Robinsons is one of the most inspirational Disney movies of all time. The twist is brilliant, the humor is poignant ("Everyone hated me!") and the ending makes me smile from ear to ear. Best Character: Lewis/Goob Best Quote: "Keep Moving Forward" (honorable mention to "That's good joe." Best Scene: The "Little Wonders" final scene. Best Piece of Score: "Setting Things Right" Best Song: "Little Wonders" Note: I am outraged that the montage of Disney characters at the end of "Wish" did not include a character from Meet the Robinsons!

Not sure why some people are so hard on this movie. I think it’s quite good. The message is really heartfelt. It has a more quirky sense of humor than other animated Disney movies, which I prefer.
