Meet the Robinsons

Over the years Disney has shown that they can role with the punches, whether they have a hit or a flop they will bounce right back and come up with something that hit’s the right cord with the audience. Most of the time the hits that have been generated are girl oriented stories, and very few have been out right for boys. Here we have a very thought out story that is completely geared towards young boys and still has all of the flair and fun of the earlier hits by Disney.
After having his invention stolen by a mysterious man in a Bowler hat, Lewis teams up with a young boy named Wilbur, who takes Lewis into the future to track down his invention. Here again Disney shows that they can make movies that are completely CGI, and make the story enjoyable. With some very recognizable voice talent, each and every character seems familiar and friendly to the point that you get the feeling that you’ve these people for a very long time.
Filled with more science jargon and theories than most kids are exposed to and understand, deep down this is a very well done feel good story. With enjoyable characters and situations every step of the way, there is an air of fulfillment by the end of the movie and you walk away with the thought that there is hope of every young child left behind. I enjoyed this edition into Disney’s movie library, taking some of the best known stories from literature, here Time Machine by HG Wells, and giving it a twist for a younger audience is what they do best, and this is far from a disappointing adventure.

  1. Kids and I enjoyed this film. Scripted ending that I saw a mile away, but the path they took getting there was an enjoyable ride.

    Highly recommend it.
