Everybody except for Goob was annoying. I seriously don't understand why they made the main characters as ridicously annoying as they were. even though it was occasinally funny, it was mainly kid humor that I wasn't interested in and was just not that entertaining.

Seeing it in Disney Digital 3D, and viewing it with my little cousins, Meet The Robinsons, as a film, stands on it's own. Meet The Robinsons has pure visual eye-candy, that shows the best design and imgaintive flair that Disney has ever had, and tells a nice, uplifting story in true Disney manner, and lot letting it's outstanding visuals and cartoony slapstick erase it, or making it cheesy, like most family animated films tend to do.
Meet The Robinsons does the same with one of my favourite films of all time: Finding Nemo does. The animation on the character's faces and body language is both comical and human both at the same time. Both, when the comical and emotional sequences come through, the face and the body, gives a certain look and feeling, and react in a cartoon way, but lots of exaggerated facial and body langauge explain their feelings. This way, just like Finding Nemo brillantly did, you can connect with these characters quite strongly, and read every emotion across clearly.
Overall, Meet The Robinsons is not hardly Disney at a classic status, but, tells a nice story that Disney does well: telling it with some great tender humor to make it a beliveable Disney experience. Advice: see it in 3D. You will not believe how good this looks in 3D!

A really nice light entertaining movie. I didn't expect much of anything from it, being that it was pre Pixar, but it surprised me at just how entertaining it really was. It isn't Pixar, but than again, what is?

Overall this movie is one of Disney's best recent films. It has a great message about life and good for any kid or anybody. The character I can most relate to is young Goob.

This is what most Disney animated movies should be like. As much as a cringe at the idea of watching a 'cartoon', i did not regret one bit of this movie. The Robinson family is simply incredible, and one of a kind. This film carries an important message. I especially enjoy the music in this film, it really fit into the required atmosphere.

Disney has taken the characters from William Joyce's book and gave them an amazing story that makes people wish their family was like the Robinsons. This film is overall amazing. I have seen it in theaters a record of 7 times. I don't know what it is about this movie. I usually hate CGI films. But this film is different. It gives a good message, there were almost nonstop laughs, and the characters were very likable... especially Wilbur. Is it wrong to be in love with an animated 13 year old from the future? I'm sure if people will just give this movie a chance they will understand what is so special about it.

  Like a surprising run of recent movies, Meet the Robinsons is based on a picture book (William Joyce's "A Day With Wilbur Robinson"). Unlike most of them, it achieves liftoff.

  Meet the Robinsons is a fast paced, high energy offering; it passes by in a breeze and is enjoyable enough that I'm willing to forgive the two awful songs (one near the beginning, one near the end) and recommend it.

  It's hard not to like a PG-rated 'toon that works in references to "Pulp Fiction" and "Fargo," even if Meet the Robinsons, a delightful, quirk-filled riff on "Back to the Future," proceeds in fits and starts.

  An animated feature (showing in 3-D in select theaters), has a couple of clever tricks that make it worth wearing those dumb, uncomfortable glasses. But this would be as delightful and attractive a production without the gimcrackery.

  It takes nearly an hour before Stephen J. Anderson's 3-D, animated comedy Meet the Robinsons begins to make sense, and when it does, the film literally takes off. But unless you're familiar with the children's book by William Joyce from which it's adapted, that first hour is a cluttered, noisy, nearly unendurable mess.
