A pretty half-hearted movie review..
Oh I just watched Meet the Robinsons and boy it was funny. It's one of those really good animation movies from Walt Disney in a long time. Err...maybe it's because there's still a kid somewhere in me that's why I think it's funny, but maybe it's also I like cartoons or should it be animations. But not all type of cartoons or animations for that matter!!! Alright, it's still subjective on how you judge a movie to be funny.
Believe me, when the movie started after all those dumb..ads, I thought I was in the wrong theatre. It started off by showing some really old classic Walt Disney cartoon for about 10-15 minutes before showing the real thing.
I was kind of like wandering has Disney ran out of ideas to make good shows; by borrowing material from the past. One family actually went out halfway and came back later only to find out that it started right after the cartoon.
To cut a long story short, the "real thing" started off only after that, maybe because it was some sort of longg ad to promote their old Disney classics.
Spoilers ahead....
The entire show revolves around this orphan, a brilliant 12-yr old kid, Lewis who is a real whiz, He is always inventing things. He stays in a foster home, and he hopes one day someone would adopt him. His most amazing invention is the memory retriever, which was inspired by the fact that the only way he could leave the adoption house is if he met his mother. After all the meticulous research and late-night projects, he finally finished it. He brought it to the science fair one day, and then suddenly a kid, supposedly a police from the future told him to be on the lookout for a guy with a hat.
And that's when trouble started, from there on, he was transported back and forth in time, meeting up with his future family and also having a lot of fun on the way. The villain in the show has only one motive, to destroy his future and to change history.
On the whole, the storyline is understandable, interesting and peppered with some hillarious moments. You might think that telling a story about an orphan, a villain and his family may seem all too straightforward or predictable even with a little bit of science fiction thrown into it but Disney has certainly done a good job telling it by introducing some interesting characters with strange personality/behaviour mix with good Disney dialogue. The hat was an interesting character. Watch the show and you will know what I mean....
I'll say this show, rates as one of the top Disney movie on my Disney Movies List.
It's an A for the Robinsons!!!
