Leave your thoughts about Meet the Robinsons.
| Ebert & RoeperRichard RoeperWhether you see this loony, feel-good comedy in 3-D or in regular vision, it's a lot of fun. |
| Christian Science MonitorM. K. TerrellThis 3-D digital adventure cribs from several other films, but its pace, wittiness, and technical brilliance may help you forget all that. |
| Sean the Movie GuySean McBridea nice adventure that's years ahead of where Disney Animation has been lately. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussSomething like a Douglas Adams yarn for kids with ADD... |
| Worcester Telegram & GazetteDaniel M. Kimmel...lacks the energy and wit of any random episode of Jimmy Neutron. |
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkFlaws aside, the film accomplishes its mission of entertaining the kids while not completely alienating the parents. And hey, at least it doesn't have penguins. |
| New York PostLou LumenickIt's hard not to like a PG-rated 'toon that works in references to "Pulp Fiction" and "Fargo," even if Meet the Robinsons, a delightful, quirk-filled riff on "Back to the Future," proceeds in fits and starts. |
| Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachThere's enough wit to keep audiences of whatever age happy. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliMeet the Robinsons is a fast paced, high energy offering; it passes by in a breeze and is enjoyable enough that I'm willing to forgive the two awful songs (one near the beginning, one near the end) and recommend it. |
| CinematicalScott WeinbergA rock-solid piece of animated sci-fi comedy that'll tickle the kids, amuse the parents, and leave everyone walking out of the theater on a sweet little flick-buzz. |
