DVD Reviews of Meet the Robinsons
DVD Review: Meet the Robinsons
Summary: 5 Stars
Love the movie. It entertains my toddler every day in the car DVD player. I don't hear a peep out of him!! Received in excellent condition and received promptlyDVD Review: Family movie in a good way
Summary: 3 Stars
I would like to rate this movie higher because here's a G movie that doesn't dumb things down, or package a story with cute little animals and sappy dialog. Your kids (and maybe you) can enjoy this movie without all the stuff movie makers assume we secretly crave in our family entertainment (e.g., double entendres, guns and violence, cross-dressing, sexual banter, whiny and mean kids, etc.).
But judging from my son's reaction, as well as my own, this is just a so-so movie. His complaint: not enough humor. My complaint: too much frenetic action.
I did like that the story of this quirky kid looking for a home unfolds over the course of the movie. You get little clues along the way that there's more to the story than meets the eye. I appreciate when a scriptwriter or author assumes I have some intelligence and need not be knocked over the head with THE BIG IDEA.
Still, the movie exhausted me visually. The scenes and characters are jittery, popping in and out and hopping around so fast your eyes can't keep up (well, maybe young eyes can!). When things take a turn for the worse for our heroes -- as of course they must -- I was truly creeped out by the scenario.
But I must say I liked some of the major themes of the movie; that you can be yourself and be accepted; that you need to keep at something until you finish it; that failure can be applauded as an acceptable route to success. Most of all, I think many of us would like our own peek into the future to see that everything works out for us. Too bad life isn't like the movies.
DVD Review: The future has arrived.....
Summary: 5 Stars
This one is good for all the family to sit and enjoy.. really fun and funny.... would recommend this one.....DVD Review: Excellent Feel Good Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie had the classic messages that inspire and lift you up so you want to watch it over and over again. "Let it go. Keep Moving Forward." The understanding that failure helps people learn was a wonderful idea. The animation was put together well and was fun to watch. The villain was adorable and funny. Once the main character was able to let go of his self-destructive thinking he was free to make the universe right again. I loved this story!DVD Review: excellent family movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is excellent for family viewing and the blu-ray version is spectacular!
Viewing the regular DVD version is not bad if you have an upconverting DVD player.
Description of Meet the Robinsons
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!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
