Seattle Post-Intelligencer
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. - 80
Variety
A sharp-minded, plenty entertaining toon that will keep children of all ages wide-eyed and on their toes. - 75
Chicago Tribune
When it enters the future, it's a new-fangled, old-fashioned jim-dandy of a show. - 70
L.A. Weekly
So cleverly executed that one forgives -- just -- the frenetic pace and absence of down time. - 70
Washington Post
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. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
Who knows whether the project is meant to be earnest, ironic, post-ironic, made for adults, made for kids, made to teach lessons, or made to be watched in an altered state? All or none...jeez, this thing is one bumpy ride. - 50
Premiere
Meet the Robinsons is a mess -- a sometimes fun but mostly frustrating mess. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
The most un-Disneylike cartoon yet from Disney animation. The thing is a hellzapoppin' of eccentric characters, zany situations and wacky gizmos, but little effort has gone into making any of this connect with an audience.
