Meet the Robinsons (2007)

My Rating: 80%

In my opinion, this is the film where the rise of Disney once again really making decent films at best truly began.


Plot: almost 13 years ago, Lewis was left at the front door at the orphanage by his mother. he has grown into an inventor since and has been unable to be adopted. trying to find his mother, he tries to create a memory scanner to try to identify his mother from his memory from when he was a baby. He invents the scanner but it is unknowingly sabotaged by a guy in a bowler hat. discouraged, a mysterious boy named Wilbur tries to convince him to repair the scanner if Wilbur proved to him that he is from the future. so Wilbur takes puts him on his time machine and takes him to the future where Lewis meets his big and estranged family.

I really find this a rather underrated film. There were a lot of really cute jokes, the characters where lovable, and the message is very good. I mean the message has been used before, but the way they particularly portray it is clever. I especially like the design they made for the future in the way that made it look for like the kind of futuristic look in tomorrow-land at the Disney theme parks, which works really well in terms of his the message is based on a particular quote from Disney himself that they show before the end credits. And the story is very well put together. Fun fact for those of you who have seen the film: this was based off of a children's book about a kid named Lewis who hangs out with his best friend and meets his estranged family while trying to find Wilbur's grandfather's teeth.

Characters:
Lewis: I did like Lewis, partly because he's an inventor and I kind of like some of that particular kind characters, but also how much he changes through his experience especially with meeting Wilbur's family.
Wilbur: He was funny. I liked how he a little full of himself and was confident that everything was going his way.
Bowlerhat Guy: he really stole the show with this film. he's a dim-witted villain who tries to hard to get Lewis. and with controlling the frog and the t-rex especially, he's just hilarious. The only plot hole i particularly notice with this film is how he understands Doris. she's a robot that speaks in a robot language...and yet he understands her perfectly...how does that work?


Music: I enjoyed the music. I think the best in terms of score was the score for the future. in terms of song...well this wasn't a musical, but I do often get a little excited feeling when it comes to the beginning song for the end credits.

and that is my review for Meet The Robinsons. It is a very entertaining film for the whole family to enjoy and I feel it should've been given higher reviews than it did.
