Meet the Robinsons

As far as animated films that have come out lately, this is probably the most forgettable film. The story is barely strong enough to hold the movie together for the full hour-and-a-half. The animation is well done, but it doesn't have that extra kick that makes it anything special.

The voice acting is good but its mostly filled with voices that sound familiar but that you can't quite place. You won't be able to place them because none of the voices are attached to any big name stars. But it is adequate.

Another element of mediocrity is the story. The plot is nothing special to write home about, just another caricature imitating life. Like most Disney movies it addresses the emotions tied to losing a parent (through adoption in this case and not through death like most Disney movies) and struggling with fitting in (with genius the characteristic in this case). There are a lot of quirky story elements that my son and I really didn't get. Like the rooms throughout the house that the Robinsons were playing in. The Robinson kids to me felt like a bunch of spoiled brat 20-somethings that refused to get out of the house and make a life of their own. But the movie relished in this instead of criticizing it which was odd to me.

All and all, a movie that's mildly enjoyable and easily forgettable.
