Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
carlybell1992 This is a movie like Big Hero 6. It is full of fun and wonder, I wish they had done a second. Love it :)
invisibleunicornninja When I first saw this movie, it terrified me. I don't remember how old I was, but I was scared. When I rewatched this movie later, I found it funny and entertaining. There is some stupid in this movie, but overall its enjoyable.
morrison-dylan-fan With Christmas coming up I started searching round for an animated DVD that a friend could enjoy watching over the X-Mas season.Going to a local fate,I spotted a table with a DVD of what looked like an overlooked Disney title,which led to me getting ready to meet the Robinsons.The plot:Left on the footsteps of an orphanage in a box by his mum,Lewis spends his life wondering about who his mum is.Being turned down (along with his roommate Michael "Goob" Yagoobian) by every potential parent,Lewis decides to invent a machine which can open up his memories,so that he can remember what his mum looked like.Building the device,Lewis decides to take it to a science fare being held the school.Just before Lewis starts the machine up,a strange man appears from out of the shadows and tampers with it. Disappointed about his machine not working,Lewis discovers all that has taken place when he meets Wilbur Robinson,who tells Lewis that he is from the future,and has come in a time machine due to needing Lewis help to stop the strange man.View on the film:Caught up in production troubles which led to it being changed from a planned live action flick into an animated movie,and 60% of the story being re-written just 10 months before it was to hit screens,co-writer/(along with Jon Bernstein/Michelle Bochner Spitz/Don Hall/Nathan Greno/Aurian Redson & Joseph Mateo) voice actor/director Stephen J. Anderson spins a bright,bold Sci-Fi Drama,which along with offering a shining glimpse of the future,also features consistent visual themes which keep the behind the scenes issues hidden from view.Opening up the darkest moments in Lewis past with stylish black and white flashbacks,Anderson unleashes the Sci- Fi set-pieces with a gleeful mood,as dazzling primary colour hues of greens,whites and purples are splatted around the solid block designed characters,as Lewis finds himself beginning to think about everything he has in the present.Lobbying to work on the title due to having been adopted himself,Anderson (who also gives a splendid performance as the boo- hiss baddie) impressively makes sure that his voice is heard loud and clear over the backstage issues.Keeping secrets hidden from view,the writers deliver superbly handled surprises across the time travelling twists,which along with cleverly offering up an entirely different view of the "baddie",also gradually wraps a sweet sense of optimism around Lewis,as Lewis gets lost in space with the Robinsons.
apb216 Be still my beating heart...this movie is one of my all time favorites, and it breaks my heart that it seemed to skip the Disney mega-hits list. I guarantee that is because it was not voiced by an all star cast, which is more than half the reason why any animated movies get attention these days. However, I thought the cast they did get for this movie was perfect. All voices matched their characters and all of them were excellent. This movie is about an orphan named Louis who is a huge lover of science and inventions. He tries to win over prospective adopters by showing off his inventions to them, and it usually backfires on him. He takes a memory scanner invention to a science fair and a kid with black hair named Wilbur shows up in a time machine and whisks him away to the future because of a crisis. He asks Louis to try and replicate the time machine due to a villain stealing one of the two, all the while trying to hide Louis from the sight of his eccentric family, in which he totally fails. There is a huge plot twist at the end, some moments of roaring laughter, and a sob fest at the very end. The part that gets me crying every single time though, is the quote from Disney along with the song "Little Wonders". I am a sobbing mess for that part. I don't know how anyone couldn't love this movie and I wish it had been promoted more to gain a greater audience.
