Meet the Robinsons

MPAA Rating:G
Distributor:Buena Vista
Director:Stephen J. Anderson
Starring:The voices of Daniel Hansen and Jordan Fry as Lewis, Wesley Singerman as Wilbur, Stephen J. Anderson as Bowler Hat Guy, Ethan Sandler as Doris.

Lewis is not exactly an adoptive parent's dream come true. After 124 interviews with prospective parents, 12- year-old Lewis still does not have a family. He decides that the only way to get one is to invent a brain scanner that will help him remember his birth mother. The scanner is stolen by Bowler Hat Guy and his creepy sidekick, Doris. Enter Wilbur Robinson, a boy from the future who unexpectedly arrives to help Lewis recover his invention—and to save the future of humankind while they're at it. Lewis also discovers that he's a perfect fit with Wilbur's eccentric family, the Robinsons, who embrace the brainy boy as one of their own.

Meet The Robinsons is an excellent tribute to diligence and belonging. Unfortunately, the film has a touch of crude humor, implied profanity, rude name- calling and a scene of dark imagery thrown in. While the good themes and fun spirit of the movie outweigh the bad stuff, it might be a good idea for younger Clubhouse readers to wait for future films with better messages.
