Have the "time" of your life with Disney's fun-filled comedy Meet The Robinsons -- a thrilling adventure that takes you to a whole new world full of imagination and surprises. It's a "masterpiece," raves John Anderson of Newsday.

Join a brilliant young inventor named Lewis as he sets off on a time-traveling journey to find the family he never knew. In the fantastical world of 2037 hip-hoppin' frogs and dogs that wear glasses are as common as talking dinosaurs. In an amazing twist, Lewis discovers that the fate of the future rests in his hands, but he can't save it alone --- he'll need every bit of help he can get from the wonderfully wacky Robinson family, who help him learn to keep moving forward and never stop believing in himself.

When Lewis was just a baby he was left on the doorstep of an orphanage. He was well cared for there, but he was a special child and every couple that came to interview him for adoption was looking for a "normal" little boy. His rare talent for invention impressed no one. Rather than try to find a couple who would appreciate his gift, he decided to use it -- by inventing a machine that would help him find his real mom. In the most unlikely events that follow Lewis met the most amazing family and began to long for one of his own. Conflict arose and he found himself struggling between his loss of confidence and the need to use his gift to save the day...and the future.

When the previews came out, Meet The Robinsons was not a movie I planned to see. It looked like a movie for young children. I like a lot of kids' movies, but of a certain type. There are many that appeal to an older audience, and many that do not. I felt like there was nothing I would get from this one, so I wouldn't bother. But then I heard some surprisingly favorable reviews.

Meet The Robinsons is a fun story about a boy who has a chance to help other people if only he can believe in himself. The movie was well animated, funny and it had a great message without being preachy. This would be a good movie to show young kids because it talks about the importance of failure to success but does so in an unoffensive manner that won't bore you or them. I liked Meet The Robinsons and if I had kids this would be a movie I would keep on hand.
