Review: Evaluating
`Meet the Robinsons' depends
on whether you entered the

glasses. Either way you
receive excellent family
entertainment, even if there
are elements of the film
you've seen before.
Resembling an animated
version of `Back to the
Future' or `Peggy Sue Got
Married,' `Meet the
Robinsons' is a briskly
based, nicely woven tale
about belonging and

A Blast for kids, and adults alike, if a bit

"It’s
bogus fantasy which stretches credulity too much." Peter Veugelaers: EntertainmentNutz
This
Walt Disney animation is distracting when the ideas speak louder than
the pictures. It poses the idea of attaining foresight in human
dealings, but it takes a young lad, inventor-orphan Lewis, to encounter
the future to realise that...
It's
a real technical breakthrough, a cartoon feature done in 3D computer
images of unusual depth and plasticity that creates its own crazy world
and then dunks you in it Michael Wilmington: Chicago

Robinsons," we're talking Big Ben...more
A
sharp-minded, plenty entertaining toon that will keep
children of all ages wide-eyed and on their toes Todd McCarthy: Variety
Happily, as has not often been the case in the past, 3-D has
here been put to use in the service of what is, on its own
merits, a good film. More than has any previous Disney
effort, "Robinsons" resembles Pixar's smash "The Incredibles,"
both in the way the visuals combine futuristic and retro
elements, and in the smart talk and can-do energy of the
characters...more
