Like a surprising run of recent movies, Meet the Robinsons is based on a picture book (William Joyce's "A Day With Wilbur Robinson"). Unlike most of them, it achieves liftoff.

Variety
A sharp-minded, plenty entertaining toon that will keep children of all ages wide-eyed and on their toes.

Chicago Tribune
When it enters the future, it's a new-fangled, old-fashioned jim-dandy of a show.

L.A. Weekly
So cleverly executed that one forgives -- just -- the frenetic pace and absence of down time.

An animated feature (showing in 3-D in select theaters), has a couple of clever tricks that make it worth wearing those dumb, uncomfortable glasses. But this would be as delightful and attractive a production without the gimcrackery.
