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.

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

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.
Scott Tobias, AV Club
Rotten
The first 20 minutes of this competently animated kids' adventure are entertaining enough. But thereafter, the plot fractures, the pace goes into overdrive and the jokes wear thin.
Derek Adams, Time Out
Rotten
Meet the Robinsons is surely one of the worst theatrically released animated features issued under the Disney label in quite some time.
