This review is from: MEET THE ROBINSONS - 2-DISC BD COMBO PACK (BD+DVD) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Meet the Robinsons signales the beginning of a new era to Disney Animation Studios. First and most important of all, John Lasseter took over the studio after Disney bought Pixar. This change was and still is very welcoming because in the past decade Disney Animation Studios struggle to create new good films and most of them like Home on the Range and Chicken Little were awful, this was sad because Disney had been the best for so many years and became one of the worst. But, thanks to Lasseter, Disney Animation Studios found a new identity and beginning with this film, Disney Animation empowered itself and now is back on the right track. So far all the films that has been released under the Lasseter era (Meet the Robinsons, Bolt, The Princess and the Frog, Tangled and Winnie the Pooh) have delivered great quality entertainment.I must be honest, when I heard about Meet the Robinsons back in 2007, I was not thrilled. Following the horrible Chicken Little was not a good prospect at all, but when I saw it in theaters, I was very satisfied with the results.
Meet the Robinsons is the story of Lewis an orphan genius boy who wants to be adopted. He goes to a fair with an invent and that leads to a series of events that end up with him in the future with the Robinson family. The film is great with fun characters and interesting twists. The story may be a little confusing for little ones and there are many characters that you won't remember, but overall Meet the Robinsons is a nice family film with great values and a fun story.
Video & Audio
Meet the Robinsons looks spectacular on BD. There is no other way to put it, the film is completely inmaculate, there are no signs of compression or any other anomaly. A pristine transfer through and through.
The 5.1 Uncompressed audio is also great with every sound being strong and dialogue is crystal clear.
Bonus Features
There are not a lot of bonus material but some of the things are interesting to watch:
The most interesting feature is a featurette called "Inventing the Robinsons", a making of documentary dealing with the production of the film.
You also have an audiocommentary with the director that's very informative.
Then you have "Inventions that shaped the World" which deals with some of the inventions and inventors of the past century.
You also have deleted scenes and two music videos.
A DVD copy is also included.
Closing Thoughts
Meet the Robinsons may not be an instant classic as other Disney films but it's a pretty good movie with an interesting story, fun characters and great values about family, confidence and more. This BD set offers spectacular video & audio and a nice assortment of bonus features. Highly recommended

A really oddball film..., Feb 27 2011
By William Sommerwerck "grizzled geezer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: MEET THE ROBINSONS - 2-DISC BD COMBO PACK (BD+DVD) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Disney's first forays into digital animation weren't very good. "Dinosaur" was boringly derivative and numbingly dull, and "Chicken Little" was a good idea poorly handled. With "Meet the Robinsons", Disney started finding its way (though with some help with John Lassiter). The story is a broad expansion of a picture book (which I haven't read), and owes a great deal to "You Can't Take it With You", the Robinsons being a futuristic version of the Sycamores.Some viewers might find this off-putting. The Robinsons are so unconventional, and the film spends so much time introducing us to them -- and their quirks -- that you might find yourself simultaneously bored and annoyed. But stick with it, because "Meet the Robinsons" has a few twists up its sleeve. (The identity of Mr Robinson /isn't/ one of them. It's obvious, and not intended to be a surprise.)
The story has a "moral", of course -- that, in the context of progress, failure is a natural component, and to be expected.
The PG rating is mostly for "scary moments". I urge parents with "sensitive" children to view it first. "Doris" -- who resembles a monster in the original "Not of This Earth" -- could cause some youngsters to wet themselves.
Recommended, if you want something a bit different from the usual kiddie fare.

Finally broke down and purchased this movie, using my 18 month old as the reason behind the purchase *wink, wink*. I have to say, it is adorable. Great story line and characters. Perfect for ANY age.
