Lewis, a brilliant young inventor, is keen on creating a time machine to find his mother, who abandoned him in an orphanage. Things take a turn when he meets Wilbur Robinson and his family.
Meet the Robinsons is surely one of the worst theatrically released animated features issued under the Disney label in quite some time.

There's no doubt Disney will do it again, and perhaps better next time, but for now, it looks like technology could be its creative salvation.

Whether you see this loony, feel-good comedy in 3-D or in regular vision, it's a lot of fun.

What might have been a bland Back to the Future rip-off suddenly hums with a screwball sensibility chockablock with singing gangster frogs and evil bowler hats.
