Top CriticLoosely based on a children's book by William Joyce, the film does a lot of twiddling with time.
03/31/07
Top CriticThe characters are beautifully drawn and engaging, and in the madcap world in which Lewis is taken, he feels more at home than he has ever felt. And this weird and scintillating family shows him genuine affection
03/23/07
Top CriticFlashes of wit and whimsy notwithstanding, the future is just as sentimentalized as the past.

A baby being left on the doorstep of an orphanage has been done many times, yet Meet the Robinsons makes it feel new again, and not just because of the fantastic 3-D technology.
03/03/08
A hilarious and adorable science fiction film with great animation, top notch voice work, and sharp humor...
01/16/08
...the movie possesses an unusually bright and colorful sense of style that immediately sets it apart from its increasingly plentiful brethren.
11/23/07
Clever time-travel adventure for the whole clan.
10/31/07
Pleasant but insubstantial, and with characters whose eccentricities feel just a tad forced and artificial, this is a mild diversion of a film.
10/26/07
Despite its obvious shortcomings, Meet the Robinsons left me wanting a little more. It's been a long, long time since a Disney film without a little lamp logo at the beginning has made me feel that way.
10/23/07
...a movie with its heart in the right place and its computers heading off in all different directions.
10/18/07
A film of terribly alienating character design (so many pinchy faces and tiny eyes!) blended with very plastic-y backgrounds.
09/20/07
A sweetly-rendered story that also happens to look terrific.
06/25/07
Typical Disney claptrap.

The film has a freewheeling, quick-hit absurdism closer to Airplane! than Aladdin.
05/02/07
This shrine to Disney is really the world's most overstuffed Hanna-Barbera cartoon, right down to its Gargamel-patterned villain.
04/25/07
Prone to migraine headaches, I wish the frenzied pace of 'Meet the Robinsons' had been toned down. Still, youngsters will probably love the ride.
04/19/07
A breath of fresh air after 2006's The Wild and 2005's Chicken Little.
