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.

Top CriticSuccumbs to the now standard overcaffeinated approach to storytelling that relies too much on rollercoaster thrills to stop the kids from fidgeting.

Top CriticThis wearisome tale of a lonely orphan who travels through time has a wacky exuberance small children will no doubt appreciate. Anyone older, though, will merely find it noisy and obnoxious.
03/31/07
Top CriticKids will enjoy the colourful animation and fun characters, but adults will wish it all made a bit more sense.

Top CriticMeet the Robinsons is surely one of the worst theatrically released animated features issued under the Disney label in quite some time.
03/30/07
Top CriticThough state-of-the-art technically, I think you'll find there's a healthy, old-fashioned feel to this movie -- one that will make you walk out of the theater feeling satisfied, and all warm 'n fuzzy inside.

Top CriticZippy if forgettable.
03/29/07
Top CriticA cartoon that is busy and frenetic yet has little actually going on.
03/29/07
Top CriticA sharp-minded, plenty entertaining toon that will keep children of all ages wide-eyed and on their toes.
