Meet the Robinsons
2007
Movies about time travel always give me a headache. No one can ever really create a plot about going to the future without having holes the size of elephants riddling it illogical. But when you accept the fact that sometimes these films won’t make a whole lot of sense, you can begin to enjoy them.
Like Meet the Robinsons, for example. I can’t really discuss what happened in this movie, as it was full of twists and turns that were unexpected. Well, I’m not really sure if they were unexpected, as I first saw this movie four years ago. Being only thirteen, I don’t remember how I first reacted, or if I could even trust that opinion. I’ll just go with saying this movie was full of surprises, but if you watch it and think it’s dumb, that’s okay too.
Besides being somewhat confusing, I thought this movie was cute. Colorful, funny at points, and entertaining, it really is what one would expect from a better than usual children’s film. The way it depicted the future really made me wish that the year 2037 would hurry up and get here so that I could use bubbles as transportation. I mean really, how awesome would it be to go to work floating in a bubble? Scientists need to start working on that project! Its message of always moving forward despite adversities and obstacles helps elevate it above typical family selections. At the same time, it wasn’t really outstanding. I suppose it is hard to live up to such high standards Disney has left for all of its films after creating ones like The Little Mermaid or even The Rescuers. And of course The Lion King, though I highly doubt any animated movie will ever be anywhere near as spectacular as TLK. But I digress. And now I end.
Movie Watching Budd(y)(ies): Various people walked in and out of this movie. I think everyone I know is getting tired of Disney.
Best Song: N/A
Best Part: “I have a big head, and little arms!” Aw the poor dinosaur.
