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

Paisley E. @PaisleyErickson Feb 13 This movie is so good!! 10/10 See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Jan 16 Meet the Robinsons is one of Disney’s most underrated animated films, delivering heart, humor, and a powerful message about belonging. Centered on a brilliant kid who feels out of place while navigating the foster system, the story resonates deeply, especially for children who have experienced adoption or feeling unwanted. The film’s quirky tone blends corny humor with creativity, throwing dinosaurs, robots, time travel, and absurd gags into a surprisingly emotional journey. While not perfect, its charm lies in embracing its weirdness. What truly elevates the movie is its message about perseverance, failure, and chosen family. Often misjudged or forgotten, Meet the Robinsons stands apart from traditional Disney fairy tales by being unapologetically different. It’s heartfelt, funny, and meaningful in ways that sneak up on you, making it absolutely worth revisiting.
