Lewis, a brilliant young inventor, is keen on creating a time machine to find his mother, who abandoned him in an orphanage. Things take a turn when he meets Wilbur Robinson and his family.
What critics thought
A modestly mixed reception greeted this Disney time-travel adventure, with many critics charmed by its screwball energy and visual imagination while others found it derivative and rough around the edges. Audiences responded more warmly than press, suggesting the film's emotional core lands better with its intended family crowd than with professional reviewers.
“a snappy plot that demands close attention as it whizzes back and forth in the space-time continuum, touching on serious ideas and proposing some rather disturbing alternate realities”
Real Movie News
“What might have been a bland Back to the Future rip-off suddenly hums with a screwball sensibility chockablock with singing gangster frogs and evil bowler hats.”
Stephen Garrett·Time Out
“Meet the Robinsons is surely one of the worst theatrically released animated features issued under the Disney label in quite some time”
A. O. Scott·The New York Times
“This is one bumpy ride”
