Description: 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. Blast off with MEET THE ROBINSONS -- complete with never-before-seen bonus features, including an all-new game, deleted scenes and much more. It's an exciting trip your whole family will enjoy!
Amazon.com: Developing positive self-esteem and persevering in the face of difficulties are fundamental parts of growing up, but when 12-year old orphan Lewis (Daniel Hansen and Jordan Fry) can't seem to get adopted or make his inventions work despite repeated efforts, he begins to seriously doubt himself and his abilities as an inventor. A CGI picture by Disney with great animation and a fresh vision of what the future might look like, Meet The Robinsons follows Lewis from his lonesome days at the orphanage to his crushing failure at the school science fair when his newly invented memory scanner won't work. Then, an odd boy named Wilbur Robinson (Wesley Singerman) shows up to warn Lewis about the mysterious "Bowler Hat Guy" (Stephen J Anderson) lurking around the science fair, an evil man Wilbur claims is from the future. The next thing Lewis knows, he and Wilbur are on route to the future via time machine. Once there, Lewis meets the very quirky, extended Robinson family with whom he feels oddly at home. As the search for the Bowler Hat Man and his constant companion Doris (Ethan Sandler) becomes more and more dangerous, the Robinson family becomes crucial in keeping Lewis safe. In the end, Lewis returns to the present with a whole new inner strength, a sense of his place in the world, the knowledge that his actions directly affect others, and an optimistic determination to "keep moving forward." While comparisons with the Back to the Future films are inevitable, Meet the Robinsons stands apart from its predecessors as its own, thoroughly entertaining family film. (Ages 4 and older)
Included is the seven-minute 1938 short Mickey Mouse's Boat Builder in which Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and Donald Duck order and assemble a do-it-yourself boat kit and launch an impressive ocean liner dubbed the "Queen Minnie." Needless to say, hilarity reigns throughout and following the boat-building process. --Tami Horiuchi

Great children's movie. My nephew loved receiving it for his birthday. The product was perfect and I received it in just under a week in plenty of time for the birthday party.
Rating: - Meet the Robinsons
This movie is one of the best I have ever seen. Clean with a wonderful message. I recommend this movie to everyone.
Rating: - "Funny, Cute, Touching and Overall Very Entertaining
For much of this film, even though I was being entertained by it, I thought it was geared mostly for kids.....and that's fine. That's what I always thought the target audience was in animated films. Well, in the end, I have nothing but praise for this film, too, because it had some touching qualities to it that would emotionally involve a person of any age.
The film - when viewed on Blu-Ray - which I did on the second viewing, was great all the way through and looks fantastic. Animation seems to be the best venue when it comes high-definition DVDs.
The story turned out to be - at least for me as an adult - a really nice film with a heartfelt message of friendship, family and a sense of belonging. At the same time, it still had enough jokes, charm and colorful animation to make it interesting all the way.
The film goes from so-so kid stuff to very good as soon as our hero "Lewis" and his new friend "Wilbur" go into the latter's world: the future. The most amusing segments of the film revolve around the Robinson family, an eccentric but extremely loving group. That family makes this film tick and, hopefully, we'll see more of them in some future feature-length film. These guys - The Robinsons - are just too entertaining to have their movie "careers" end with only this one film.
The story brings out a very thought-provoking theme to ponder. How would you react if, as a 12-year-old boy, you could meet yourself as an adult perhaps 25 years later....and vice-versa? How incredibly strange that would be?
This movie really digs into deep territory in the last third, which is why, as an adult, I found it getting better and better right to the end.
Rating: - Great Movie looks Amazing on Blu-ray
Meet the Robinsons is a great movie for Adults and Kids alike. I wasn't to sure about it at first when my wife pulled me to the theater to see it, but after I saw it I was glad we did. It looks amazing on Blu-ray and is well worth it to add to your collection.
