Meet the Robinsons
It’s “Jimmy Neutron” meets “Back to the Future” meets “The Jetsons” meets “Snidely Whiplash” as an orphaned inventor boy seeks to find his mother, but discovers something else when time travelers from the future arrive and disrupt his life. This Disney animation centers around two boys, Lewis and Wilbur, who being stalked by an evil bowler hat guy. So many weird side characters are introduced and skimmed over that you don’t really get to know them well enough to remember their names. It’s entertaining enough for the kids, but it isn’t Disney magical. It’s funny, but not hilarious. The film does have some surprising twists revealed by the end. A nostalgic cartoon of Mickey and company building a ship is presented before the main attraction.
Alien gives it 2 ½ “keep moving forward” stars out of 4.
