Pros: Terrific to look at; charming second half
Cons: Very laborious first half

Meet the Robinsons is a cartoon about time travel in which a man's happy future will be ruined unless he can fix his tortured past. That's ironic, because the first half of the movie is complicated and frantic, and then it turns into the charmer ...

Cons: Concept of time may be hard to grasp for little ones.

Pros: Funny, and has a good message.
Cons: Plot is cluttered, too many random characters and events.

The movie is just too busy and frantic, after watching it you're not even entirely sure what happened. There are way too many characters. They all seem interesting, but only have a few minutes of screen time, so are never really fleshed out. Many of ...

Pros: Nice 3-D effects.
Cons: EXTRA $$$ for the 3-D glasses. Take LOTS of money.
