Animated Comedy: Meet the Robinsons

Meet the Robinsons (2007)

Lewis is an orphan with a vast imagination who just wants to be adopted. He's had 121 interviews with potential parents, and he's given up. After a conversation with the woman who raised him, he realizes that his biological mother may be the only person who has ever wanted him. So he invents a machine for that can display a memory from the past so he can see what she looked like. What Lewis doesn't know is that someone, using his very own technology, has come to steal his invention, from the future!

This is another Pixar style computer animated cartoon by Disney, and I just love these things, so my opinion is skewed. It takes a utopian look at the future, and also shows the viewer the possibilities of a much darker future. There are some really cool Rube Goldberg scenes, ala Robots, which are always fun to watch in such realistic animation.

A few years ago, I went to see The Incredibles with a friend and his kids. It was interesting to hear how the adults would laugh at parts the kids didn't get, and vice versa. I remember all of the kids laughing hysterically at a scene where all I could do was turn and shrug at my buddy. This movie definitely has more of those moments.

it was okay
