BOTTOM LINE:
"Meet the Robinsons" is a Pixar animated movie about Lewis, a young orphan boy who spends his time creating scientific experiments and inventions.  After one of his inventions is stolen by a mysterious villian, a boy from the future (Wilbur) appears and takes Lewis with him into the future.  Lewis meets Wilbur's family, and discovers love and acceptance.  The movie includes the themes of parental abandonment and adoption and some minor cartoon-style violence.

BODY: 
What reviewers are saying about Meet the Robinsons:
The San Fransisco Chronicle's Peter Hartlaub comments, "Director Stephen J. Anderson does a poor job of attaching any clear moral or message to the story, and there's a parental abandonment side plot that doesn't come to a particularly satisfying ending."

Frank Lovece of the Catholic News Service explains, "The film contains some harmless explosions, a food fight with a dinosaur, and a boy thrown off a building to land harmlessly on an invisible platform."

Common Sense Media's Sandie Angulo Chen writes, "Parents need to know that even very young children will dig this Disney animated adventure...The movie's villains are a robotic bowler hat and the mysterious mustachioed man who wears it."
