Day 153: Meet the Robinsons (Anderson, 2007)



Disney tries it’s hand at an animated time travel movie with Meet the Robinsons, where a young boy and wannabe inventor meets a boy who claims to be from the future. He needs his help to find an evil man who has stolen his other time machine. Along the way he meets the boy’s futuristic and insane family.

It’s a good film in that it has great animation, a slightly new approach for Disney, and that it is sometimes mildly amusing. It is a bad film because it makes little sense, the plot is weak and has not been thought about enough, and the characters are what I can imagine the writers intending to be memorable, dopey characters to go on children’s lunchboxes, when they are just annoying.

The moronic sense of humour gets old very quickly, and the entire film after the ten minute mark just seems to drag on and on. It’s boring to watch and serves no particular purpose in the world of movies apart from being a good piece of animation. Kids may like it, but it’s not repeat viewing, even for a child.


3 star film
