Meet the Robinsons is based on the illustrated book, A Day With Wilbur Robinson, by the quirky William Joyce. The movie is a fun ride that takes us to a possible future in a Tomorrowland that will entertain and maybe even make you weep by the conclusion.
Much like the movie Shrek, Meet the Robinsons is full of pop culture and movie references. Everything from Pulp Fiction and the Rat Pack with the frogs, to War of the Worlds, Matrix and 2001 A Space Odyssey with Doris the bowler hat and that’s only to name a few of the many little fun homage’s the movie offers. Meet The Robinsons is a movie that sets up little hidden storylines that slowly delights with the reveals by the end of the film.
Meet The Robinsons is now available on DVD and Blu-Ray and is the perfect film for anyone who is a fan of Walt Disney or animated films. Along with the film, the DVD provides us a few bonus features as well.
The audio commentary by Director Stephen Anderson and his alter ego, the menacing Bowler Hat Guy, is fun and informative. I always prefer commentary by the creative force then say the actors. Actors are often very boring when it comes to commentary and lack the insight and the stories that the writers and (in this case) the director can provide.
The documentary Inventing The Robinsons, is great in giving us the whole process that is involved in making an animated feature. Whether it’s the story, the music or even finding the right voice, it’s all here in this well produced documentary.
The other bonus features include early drafts of deleted scenes, a documentary on the real modern day inventors, music videos and a game for the younger viewer.
Meet The Robinsons is Disney’s 46th animated feature. Now with Pixar a part of the Disney family, one can only imagine what is coming down the pipe line by these animated visionaries. One thing for sure, we are in for more animated bliss that will entertain for decades to come and will "Keep Moving Forward."
