My favorite joke in the movie is Lewis asking what Cornelius looks like, and Wilbur tells him that he looks like Tom Selleck, to which a real photo of Tom Selleck is used for that point on to represent Cornelius for the rest of the scene. And then, at the end, when we meet Cornelius, he's voiced by Tom Selleck. That is a friggin 4D Chess joke right there.
I just appreciate the Spike and Demetre joke where Lewis acknowledges that they're twins but doesn't know who they're related to, and Wilbur simply replies "Neither do we."
As someone from a close family... This is something that I literally say almost every week. You may be in silence for hours, minding your own thing, and then you start to talk at the same time about the exact same topic and I'm amazed at that.
Meet the Robinsons is a great example of one shot movies in media. Its something that teaches us an important role to learn and understand when life comes. Also teaches us about Goob being hilarious which is something I take from.
this movie meant the world to me as a neurodivergent child (who didn't know she was neurodivergent) because the robinsons don't act like "normal" (neurotypical) people. they embrace their interests and abnormal traits with full love and are encouraged to by everyone around them. it felt like home to me.
Same, but idk why I don't like the word "neurotypical" i mean, i'm Asperger but I Think the word is like "Ha, we are not normal and you are so I am better than you" idk
@@Jazker_da_thief i mean you being uncomfy is valid but know that that might be ignorance of how the word is used and/or internalised ableism. Maybe search the actuallyautistic hashtag on insta to hear a bit more opinions and povs
@@steamboatwill3.367 My thoughts exactly ha ha. The bowler hats have so consumed them that they'll immediately be drawn to a hat ad even when solving a murderer. It's amazing how insidious the hats are ha ha
I always thought the ending was that future Cornelius knows that he still needs to invent the hats so his past self can still have the time travel experiance he needs, so he programmed DORIS to self destruct when she heard young Louis say "I am never going to invent you." the disintergration and the blue flame was from an incredibly hot but controlled detination spark. That was my theory anyway
I do like that theory. Do you maybe have a theory for why Goob is still after him in the future if he didn’t lose the game. The only thing I can think of is maybe Future Louis somehow stopped his kid self from getting to the game or something
@@maem7462 My thoughts were maybe at one point Goob had traveled there and intended harm but after fixing goobs lost game and the memory scanner he realised the events still needed to happen or else there’d be a paradox and the world would end again. Because both timelines have presented themselves and have definitely existed at one point they are essentially alternative worlds that his life connected together. Maybe he invented the time travel machine to make sure he made the right choice. He could have decided to use it to see if after saving him from loosing the game Goob would have gotten adopted, if he’d be a successful baseball player, and what would happen in the future if Louis never had the experience in the future that he should have. What if it turned out Goob never got better and still turned out to have a crappy life and because Louis never time traveled to the future with Wilbur the future world ended up a hellscape without even creating Doris? It seems like a stretch but if you think about how Goob was, it wasn’t because he lost one ball game, and all the amazing tech in the movie was invited by Louis but only because his trip to the future encouraged him not to give up. So even though it looked like Goob’s life was fixed with one ball catch people are more complicated than that and he still ended up a miserable dude. So Louis was convinced the right thing to do was sabotage another one of Goobs games and have Doris point him in the right direction for the events of the movie to happen. It also makes sense because Goob in the future never mentions which game exactly he was referring to so it could have been a couple years later down the line than we saw take place in the movie. This is definitely one of my less thought out theories and it depends on a lot of what ifs but it’s just as likely as everything else that happened in the movie
Not gonna lie, whenever I feel like my mistakes are piling up and getting too much to bear, I sit down and watch this movie. It always manages to cheer me up and it's my favorite Disney movie for that very reason.
I do something similar. Whenever I feel like I have no energy and burned out I binge the entirety of Gurren Lagann. That show has so much energy and stubborn optimism that I can't help but get fired up.
This is definitely a case of the original ending being better than the one they went with. The original ending involved old Goob being taken to that baseball game and waking his younger self up, giving a message of taking things into your own hands going forward that I feel would have made the movie a bit more solid in my opinion.
@@shadowslayer205 nope, the released ending was Lewis waking up goob on his own, no lesson or anything. They showed the alternate end in the special features of the dvd, mostly just as storyboards.
TBH that's the ending I remember the movie having. I was very confused when they showed that other one. It really was more satisfying on multiple levels, including Lewis doing something nice for Old Goob to make up for being a crummy roommate.
I don't know why but it feels like this is the Disney film that really often gets forgotten by many. But I don't understand how. It is so damm weird. Not super amazing but still good and memorable.
it's because it's so weird that it's hard to process into an easily-categorized memory. it's a fever dream of a movie that's remembered about as easily as a fever dream.
This film really emotionally got to me for a number of reasons. The fact Louis decides he doesn’t need to see his birth mother after everything touched me in a way I didn’t expect, we don’t know why she did it just like Louis, but he accepted that one day he would have a loving family. Maybe cheesy but the fact he made that decision himself like that just got to me. And then, just, the ending song with Louis being adopted...gah, it’s a feel good film with the actual mature themes about family that I like. None of the characters are without faults, families can be weird and all over the place but can work together really well.
I was confused for a second because the title in Spanish was changed to “Family of the Future” so I didn’t get the joke about meeting the Robinsons at first
13:39 there's a robinsons video game that explores the rest of the family's characters more! I haven't finished it yet, but there seems to be a section for each of them, you should check it out if you have a Wii! It takes place before the movie from what I remember
@@Othermage i had it too! i always got literally stuck on the ant level. i think there was a bug or smth (lmao i just realized that was a pun..... get it... a bug in the ant boss level?? lol jkjk). but yeah no matter what i did wilbur would get stuck inside a weird tube and couldnt get out. i never finished that game and honestly? its a pretty big regret of mine... thinking i might find an emulator online or smth and try to actually complete that game cause i liked it so much
the MTR video game is literally one of my favourite games ever. It lets you explore the world a little more and time travel shenanigans ensue with Wilbur as the single brain cell main character
Wilbur was like my first childhood crush without me realizing why I loved him so much was because I was a baby gay. Also I absolutely love this movie and this video is fantastic
You know I will say this movie REALLY kept the big twist a surprise. I don't know if its because I saw this movie for the first time when I was young, but I was honestly surprised that Lewis was Mr. Robinson and that Bowler Hat Guy was Goob. It was great!
i always love seeing you talk about these more "unpopular" & "obscure" movies. it's a disney movie; sure. but even tho it pops to mind from time to time, i rarely see people acctually talking about it all that often. it's not as weird/bad/unsuccessfull like chicken little or treasure planet, so it's good to see it get some love i think we rented that movie once & the doris alternative future scene really gave me nightmares as a kid, but besindes 1-2 tv runs i don't think i've actually seen it that often we also rented bridge to terabithia when i was a kid. sooo i'm kinda glad renting movies isn't a thing anymore, lol w/ disney+ maybe some of disney's more overlooked movies can get more love nowadays i really like your style & love your soothing voice for these kind of video essays i can't wait for the brave little toaster video òwó keep up the good work!
Thank you for your kind words!! These overlooked movies deserve more love and I am always glad to spread the word. When I mentioned I was making a video about Meet the Robinsons I've had other friends talk about how scary that alternate future was, so you're not alone there ajsgjsdfg (the toaster video shall come; thank you so much for your encouragement and patience nwn)
There are many things I expected when clicking on this video, but the cold opening slowly leading up to the Jonas Brothers releasing their cover of Kids in America was not one of them 😂
The soothing way you say "Thank you for watching" at the end of each video is unironically one of the most pleasing and calming things I've ever heard.
She has genuinely one of the prettiest voices on the site and she uses it to be positive about works I never thought about for more than thirty seconds before.
When I wanted to rewatch it, I had to put all my brain power into remembering the name because of language issues. And let me tell you, that scene when he's making his machine and a little song plays is SO SAD
that scene with the doris' swarming the time machine scared the shit out of me as a kid watching this film and I still stick by it being one of the most terrifying scenes in a kid's film
I think there was also another lesson in believing in yourself and in your passion. Every family member has one passion that drives their whole personality, and the family loves each other so much because of how passionate they are for their niches. They accept each other and help each other flourish no matter what they want to do is. Artist, Scientist, Mechanic, a Home Maker, Inventor, Actor, Pizza Delivery Guy. It doesn't matter, if you love it, you should do it no matter how weird or eccentric it might seem. If you believe in yourself enough and are passionate you will succeed, and with your family with you along the way you may just find happiness. Strive to be yourself, and keep moving forward. :)
I genuinely thought you were building up Kim Wilde’s “Kids in America” to mention it’s proper world changing use: being used in *Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius*
13:24 i too thought this was going to be a series, other movies that came out around this time where SkyHigh which also felt like a series, around this time the 2007 Writers Guild strike happen which could have hurt and series, fallowed by the the great recession 2008, which also could not have help. I think the only major series at the time where the Tinker bell movies and the Planes movie which both sold lots of toys.
When I first saw this movie it just made me want to grow up and become a marvelous scientist and inventor But time went by and everything went off to a completely different direction I still want to be a marvelous inventor and scientist, but now I'm a girl. Which is even better!
I'm very mixed about this film. On the whole it's a good laugh with a simple lesson, but there are parts of the lesson that don't sit well with me. I think it comes from the liberal idea of as long as you make *good life choices* you can make it and succeed at your goals. As a cynical adult with an understanding that systems outside of your actions can bring disaster the lesson rings a little hollow to me. Perhaps if the movie was striven in it's keep moving forward in more than it's individual personal responsibility and in a community perspective to make sure no one would have to go through what Goo did and being willing to provide emotion support to anyone you need (not just friends) then maybe I could enjoy it more. Anyways the video was great and I found this perspective neat!
I totally see your point! The movie hit very hard for me because the idea of moving past my mistakes is something that I personally struggled with, but if you look at it through a societal lens then yeah, good choices sometimes aren't enough... Thanks for sharing your perspective!
Yeah I can understand why you'd see it that way. Personally, I always saw the "success" aspect of the film not so much being that Lewis revolutionizes the world with his inventions, it's that he finds a family that loves him for who he truly is, which is what he actually wanted, and if he had given up then he wouldn't have met Lucille and Bud and gotten the family he dreamed of. His inventing skills are what lead him to the family happiness he desired, and personally I think he would have been just as happy in the future if he wasn't a wildly successful inventor, but hey maybe I'm just an idealist or a romantic 🤷♀️
This is one of my favorite Disney movies, and one of the first movies I remember seeing in the theater. It's genuinely amazing, and it's a crying shame that basically _nobody_ ever talks about it!
My favorite line in that movie was when Goob was walking down the hallway and people were like "Hey dude!", "Nice binder!" and "Wanna hang out later?" and he said "They all hated me" I just,,, love that. That's my type of humor, apparently.
this movie is fantastic and I genuinely forgot it was a Disney movie because it seemed like those underrated Pixar movies but god yes it's such a feel-good movie. the concept of being able to accept failure and not let it consume me with feelings of guilt and inadequacy so I can move forward is a topic I've been wrestling with for most of my life. the T-rex was one of my favorite, most memorable moment.
I had 2 movies on my iPod as a kid. Meet the Robinsons and Stardust. And you bet I watched both movies everytime I was on a long car ride on that tiny screen. I also have vague memories of playing the meet the robinsons video game and it was playable to a point and had some vague lore.... I think.
February 2015 I watched this movie Every Day for a MONTH STRAIGHT because i have a GOBLIN in my BRAIN and this MOVIE is PHENOMINAL. thank you for making a video for this.
YES YES YES I remember i was in a very low emotional point of my life in 2019 because of a lot of things that had happened that year and one time i just decided to watch tv and relax to clear my mind, this movie was airing so i watched it and it hit me in a very strong, personal way, almost as a revelation. "keep moving forward" now im very much happier. Im forever thankful to this movie for re-teaching me the most important lesson i always forget, thanks meet the robinsons
The climax of that movie haunted my nightmares and does to this day, but the end credits song is one of my Top Three Go-To Cry Songs. Little Wonders is a banger beyond anything Kids of the Future could hope to be.
Ok, but I can't help but point out this is what I sound like when someone asks me to summarize something. Then I remembered it's 11 minutes long. Yep, my quick summary of Meet the Robinsons. Also, love the video! It was really fun.
I love this film because of its pure chaotic energy. Like the scene with scientist lady (forgot her name) and sticking on caffeine patches lives in my head rent-free. Along with the scene of Older Goob and Dolores at that unicorn restaurant.
What's funny about Lewis' mother is that she probably wasn't all she was cracked up to be anyways if she'd abandon him to being an orphan. I doubt she'd even want anything to do with him, grown up or not.
when i went to watch this movie for the first time. i was skipping school and decided to waste time at the cinema. i was all alone in the watching room and it was WEIRD... but i remember liking the movie.
Ah yes, I love listening to a mildly humorous summary of the only movie I liked out of the movies my mom would have us watch over and over again when I was a child
This is the first movie I voluntarily and eagerly watched over and over, and it's still the only movie I've watched more than 3 times. Thanks for the vid!
This is the last movie I saw with my late dad before he was so sick that he couldn't go out anymore. We were all adults, but he was a huge Disney fan. It was the first thing that made me feel like things could still be okay, even though he would be gone. It still makes me cry to watch it today. Thanks for your video, it's interesting to see what people who were kids when it came out thought!
This movie was really underrated, I rarely see anyone talking about it. The humor was pretty good, the message of "keep moving forward" is a lot more realistic than the usual "believe in your dreams" or "keep smiling". But the thing that satisfies me in any media is when a story manages to tie up any loose ends neatly by the end of the movie, and Meet The Robinsons did just that. The scene where Lewis goes to see his mother was so beautiful and the reason why she hears something (Lewis tripping) and quickly hurries away was such a nice detail.
Haven't thought about this movie for ages, until earlier today when I remembered "I HAVEN'T SLEPT FOR EIRGHT DAYS". I been up for a little over 30 hours now, and I resonated with that line. At any rate, I chuckled a bit by myself and didn't think anymore about it. Then I come over this video. DESTANY HATH SPOKEN TO ME IN IT'S EVER CRYPTIC WAY That being said, this movie does hold a very special place in my heart
I remember never getting to watch this movie as a kid when it came out in cinema as somehow the screen was flooded and so instead we were given the option to watch one of the other films airing at that time so myself and my dad (animation lovers through and through) watched bridge to terabithia and wishing we were watching Meet the robinsons instead. I did end up watching it once when it showed on tv on one of those film channels but it would never be the same as watching it as a kid in the cinema with the big screen.
OMG I WATCHED THIS MOVIE AS A KID AND I HAD THIS WEIRD MEMORY AT THR BACK OF MY HEAD AND IT FELT LIKE A WEIRD FEVERDREAM?? IM SI GLAD I REDISCOVERED IT!! THE SECOND I SAW THE COVER THE WHOLE PREMISE OF THE STORY JUST CLICKED TO MY HEAD TYSM
What if Cornelius went back in time to have a movie made about him by changing some event, then went back to the future so we can find out a million years from now
i think the family was so full of life and character mostly to contrast the life lewis was currently living as an orphan? it's like the fantasy of being a part of a big interesting interconnected family - so the reveal that that actually WAS his family was amazing for him
I love this movie so much. It gives me such an intense feeling of both nostalgia, and longing for a future I don't even know. Which seems very fitting for a time travel movie. Almost always makes me cry during that end scene with the song. My friend was saying how the ending was sad for her, but I honestly don't see it that way. It seems very hopeful. Yes, he had to leave and will miss them, but at the end of the day, they're HIS family, and he'll see them again. He's one of, if not the only, people on Earth to have seen exactly what his future will look like, and as long as he stays on the right track (which he will, or someone's coming back to fix it) he knows he has such a wonderful life and family waiting for him. They'll be there, he's just gotta work for it. What I wouldn't do for that kind of security.
I watched this movie for the first time this year and it instantly became one of my favorites. I needed more Meet the Robinson’s content in my life, thank you for making this video!
When I was a kid and I first saw Meet The Robinsons I would re-watch the movie every single night before I went to bed. I never really knew why until I got older and realize it was my comfort movie. It had a weird family that embraced they’re weirdness instead of shunned it. As a weird kid that was treated like an outcast for being weird and never understood what a family is supposed to feel like... Meet The Robinsons speaks to me more then any other form of media.
I watched this movie for the first time in around 5 years the other day. I think I found a new comfort film. And this video was hilarious! "Really get to know the Robinsons" killed me. Your analysis videos never fail to amaze me!
My favorite joke in the movie is Lewis asking what Cornelius looks like, and Wilbur tells him that he looks like Tom Selleck, to which a real photo of Tom Selleck is used for that point on to represent Cornelius for the rest of the scene. And then, at the end, when we meet Cornelius, he's voiced by Tom Selleck. That is a friggin 4D Chess joke right there.
Hahahaha, oh woah.
I think the most wonderful thing is that in every country he was depicted differently by someone famous and recognisable by children from that country
@@francescasimoncelli4175 Really? That's amazing!
@@Hey-Its-Dingo that is amazing. I wonder what the list of actors would be.
I just appreciate the Spike and Demetre joke where Lewis acknowledges that they're twins but doesn't know who they're related to, and Wilbur simply replies "Neither do we."
“It’s more like the entire family shares one brain cell” that is positively the best way to describe close families I ever heard 10/10
I think she meant 1/2 a brain cell
As someone from a close family... This is something that I literally say almost every week. You may be in silence for hours, minding your own thing, and then you start to talk at the same time about the exact same topic and I'm amazed at that.

Sorry I’m late boys I was busy watching your other vids because your voice is just awesome
She has genuinely one of the prettiest voices on the site and she uses it to be positive about works I never thought about for more than thirty seconds before.
When I wanted to rewatch it, I had to put all my brain power into remembering the name because of language issues. And let me tell you, that scene when he's making his machine and a little song plays is SO SAD
I didn't see this movie until I was 30 and it still was amazing.
this movie used to come on Disney Channel all the time when i was younger. it creeped me out yet i know almost every single scene of the movie.
_"Bake them cookies, Lucille-!"_
that scene with the doris' swarming the time machine scared the shit out of me as a kid watching this film and I still stick by it being one of the most terrifying scenes in a kid's film
I think there was also another lesson in believing in yourself and in your passion. Every family member has one passion that drives their whole personality, and the family loves each other so much because of how passionate they are for their niches. They accept each other and help each other flourish no matter what they want to do is.
Artist, Scientist, Mechanic, a Home Maker, Inventor, Actor, Pizza Delivery Guy. It doesn't matter, if you love it, you should do it no matter how weird or eccentric it might seem. If you believe in yourself enough and are passionate you will succeed, and with your family with you along the way you may just find happiness.
Strive to be yourself, and keep moving forward. :)
I genuinely thought you were building up Kim Wilde’s “Kids in America” to mention it’s proper world changing use: being used in *Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius*
Little Wonders, the song that plays at the end, is a genuine bob, like that shiz is good
13:24 i too thought this was going to be a series, other movies that came out around this time where SkyHigh which also felt like a series, around this time the 2007 Writers Guild strike happen which could have hurt and series, fallowed by the the great recession 2008, which also could not have help. I think the only major series at the time where the Tinker bell movies and the Planes movie which both sold lots of toys.
I always loved the song from this movie that played near the end. Little Wonders by Rob Thomas. It makes me cry but also gives me serotonin. ☺️😭
Same!
The girl with orange hair and the city themed outfit js very cute-
Yep!
me irl
So that's why I never understood Lewis and Goob's 'conversation' as a kid...
When I first saw this movie it just made me want to grow up and become a marvelous scientist and inventor
But time went by and everything went off to a completely different direction
I still want to be a marvelous inventor and scientist, but now I'm a girl. Which is even better!
literally the best way to improve this scenario
Ngl as a trans guy this comment made my day 500% better
Ig all you can do now is keep moving forward ♡
Wait what-

I'm very mixed about this film. On the whole it's a good laugh with a simple lesson, but there are parts of the lesson that don't sit well with me. I think it comes from the liberal idea of as long as you make *good life choices* you can make it and succeed at your goals. As a cynical adult with an understanding that systems outside of your actions can bring disaster the lesson rings a little hollow to me. Perhaps if the movie was striven in it's keep moving forward in more than it's individual personal responsibility and in a community perspective to make sure no one would have to go through what Goo did and being willing to provide emotion support to anyone you need (not just friends) then maybe I could enjoy it more. Anyways the video was great and I found this perspective neat!
I totally see your point! The movie hit very hard for me because the idea of moving past my mistakes is something that I personally struggled with, but if you look at it through a societal lens then yeah, good choices sometimes aren't enough... Thanks for sharing your perspective!
Yeah I can understand why you'd see it that way. Personally, I always saw the "success" aspect of the film not so much being that Lewis revolutionizes the world with his inventions, it's that he finds a family that loves him for who he truly is, which is what he actually wanted, and if he had given up then he wouldn't have met Lucille and Bud and gotten the family he dreamed of. His inventing skills are what lead him to the family happiness he desired, and personally I think he would have been just as happy in the future if he wasn't a wildly successful inventor, but hey maybe I'm just an idealist or a romantic 🤷♀️
This is one of my favorite Disney movies, and one of the first movies I remember seeing in the theater. It's genuinely amazing, and it's a crying shame that basically _nobody_ ever talks about it!
My favorite line in that movie was when Goob was walking down the hallway and people were like "Hey dude!", "Nice binder!" and "Wanna hang out later?" and he said "They all hated me" I just,,, love that. That's my type of humor, apparently.
meet the robinson has always been inspirational to me,, i loved it when it came out and still love it now!
This movie is an absolute blast
this movie is fantastic and I genuinely forgot it was a Disney movie because it seemed like those underrated Pixar movies but god yes it's such a feel-good movie. the concept of being able to accept failure and not let it consume me with feelings of guilt and inadequacy so I can move forward is a topic I've been wrestling with for most of my life.
the T-rex was one of my favorite, most memorable moment.
this movie is so underrated
I still remember just how much the ending, and final song made my heart hurt in such good ways.
I had 2 movies on my iPod as a kid. Meet the Robinsons and Stardust. And you bet I watched both movies everytime I was on a long car ride on that tiny screen. I also have vague memories of playing the meet the robinsons video game and it was playable to a point and had some vague lore.... I think.
Can i say that this is my favorite channel of the year?
aaaa i'm gonna cry ;w;
"where are the kids of America"... That always makes me think of the Digimon movie¡
The algorithm HUNGERS
thank u for feeding it

February 2015 I watched this movie Every Day for a MONTH STRAIGHT because i have a GOBLIN in my BRAIN and this MOVIE is PHENOMINAL. thank you for making a video for this.
YES YES YES
I remember i was in a very low emotional point of my life in 2019 because of a lot of things that had happened that year and one time i just decided to watch tv and relax to clear my mind, this movie was airing so i watched it and it hit me in a very strong, personal way, almost as a revelation. "keep moving forward" now im very much happier. Im forever thankful to this movie for re-teaching me the most important lesson i always forget, thanks meet the robinsons
Damn shame tiny me was too freaked out by the peanut allergy scene at the beginning to watch this movie for so long
A fun villainous character, I do appreciate those.
The climax of that movie haunted my nightmares and does to this day, but the end credits song is one of my Top Three Go-To Cry Songs. Little Wonders is a banger beyond anything Kids of the Future could hope to be.
It's my turn on the brain cell!

This is absolutely one of my favorites movies it's so inspiring and uplifting.
I love Meet the Robinsons, this was the movie that introduced me to history and invention. I wish this movie is more to talk about
I want goob to be adopted with lewis in the new timeline please- he's in love with his passion like everyone else in the family is
the "they all hated me" scene makes me laugh EVERY SINGLE TIME. (Great video by the way! Love your voice. Hope that's not a weird thing to say.)
It makes me happy to see someone talking about one of my childhood movies. Thank you.
That was a very confusing first minute and thirty seconds
I completely forgot about this movie, the only thing i remember now is i never understood what was going on with my baby brain
Ok, but I can't help but point out this is what I sound like when someone asks me to summarize something. Then I remembered it's 11 minutes long. Yep, my quick summary of Meet the Robinsons.
Also, love the video! It was really fun.
I love this film because of its pure chaotic energy. Like the scene with scientist lady (forgot her name) and sticking on caffeine patches lives in my head rent-free. Along with the scene of Older Goob and Dolores at that unicorn restaurant.
What's funny about Lewis' mother is that she probably wasn't all she was cracked up to be anyways if she'd abandon him to being an orphan.
I doubt she'd even want anything to do with him, grown up or not.
some people 'abandon' their child at an orphanage because they can't take care of them and hope they will have a better life with another family.
This movie definitely deserves more love and I love this movie so much
Chicken Little is a CLASSIC and I will have NONE disrespect it
when i went to watch this movie for the first time.
i was skipping school and decided to waste time at the cinema.
i was all alone in the watching room and it was WEIRD... but i remember liking the movie.
Ah yes, I love listening to a mildly humorous summary of the only movie I liked out of the movies my mom would have us watch over and over again when I was a child
Wait William Joyce as in... rise of the gaurdians. Interesting.
This is the first movie I voluntarily and eagerly watched over and over, and it's still the only movie I've watched more than 3 times. Thanks for the vid!
It's not just goob losing the baseball game . He never got adopted and aged out of the orphanage because of it.
This is the last movie I saw with my late dad before he was so sick that he couldn't go out anymore. We were all adults, but he was a huge Disney fan.
It was the first thing that made me feel like things could still be okay, even though he would be gone. It still makes me cry to watch it today. Thanks for your video, it's interesting to see what people who were kids when it came out thought!
This movie was really underrated, I rarely see anyone talking about it. The humor was pretty good, the message of "keep moving forward" is a lot more realistic than the usual "believe in your dreams" or "keep smiling". But the thing that satisfies me in any media is when a story manages to tie up any loose ends neatly by the end of the movie, and Meet The Robinsons did just that. The scene where Lewis goes to see his mother was so beautiful and the reason why she hears something (Lewis tripping) and quickly hurries away was such a nice detail.
I really vibed with good adoption stories
Aaaaaa i loved this movie so much back in the day. My sister and I still quote scenes off of it from time to time. It's so iconic and fun.
I quote it often tbh
Haven't thought about this movie for ages, until earlier today when I remembered "I HAVEN'T SLEPT FOR EIRGHT DAYS". I been up for a little over 30 hours now, and I resonated with that line. At any rate, I chuckled a bit by myself and didn't think anymore about it. Then I come over this video. DESTANY HATH SPOKEN TO ME IN IT'S EVER CRYPTIC WAY
That being said, this movie does hold a very special place in my heart
i cry every time i watch this movie 🥺
I remember never getting to watch this movie as a kid when it came out in cinema as somehow the screen was flooded and so instead we were given the option to watch one of the other films airing at that time so myself and my dad (animation lovers through and through) watched bridge to terabithia and wishing we were watching Meet the robinsons instead. I did end up watching it once when it showed on tv on one of those film channels but it would never be the same as watching it as a kid in the cinema with the big screen.
OMG I WATCHED THIS MOVIE AS A KID AND I HAD THIS WEIRD MEMORY AT THR BACK OF MY HEAD AND IT FELT LIKE A WEIRD FEVERDREAM?? IM SI GLAD I REDISCOVERED IT!! THE SECOND I SAW THE COVER THE WHOLE PREMISE OF THE STORY JUST CLICKED TO MY HEAD TYSM
This is legit the best movie from my childhood.
What if Cornelius went back in time to have a movie made about him by changing some event, then went back to the future so we can find out a million years from now
Meet the Robinsons: aka the movie that has aired so many times on my local Disney channel that "keep moving forward" is drilled into my brain
technically , the song makes sence for both wilbur and lewis. wilbur is literaly a kid from the future while lewis is a kid that *makes* the future
"I know!! I'll turn him into a DUCK!!! But....I don't know how to do that. I don't really... _need_ a duck...."
i think the family was so full of life and character mostly to contrast the life lewis was currently living as an orphan? it's like the fantasy of being a part of a big interesting interconnected family - so the reveal that that actually WAS his family was amazing for him
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! Although the end credits song was the one I was attached to, These small hours I think it was called?
It's really good too!! They have one at the beginning that's also lovely
I know this is a month late, but if you're still interested, it's called Little Wonders(and yes, that is also my favorite part of this movie).
@@candyelysium451 omg yesss!!! thank you!
"Excuse me nice lady, will you please adopt me?"
"I CANT ADOPT YOU! WE ARE ALREADY MARRIED!!!!!!"
I love this movie so much. It gives me such an intense feeling of both nostalgia, and longing for a future I don't even know. Which seems very fitting for a time travel movie. Almost always makes me cry during that end scene with the song.
My friend was saying how the ending was sad for her, but I honestly don't see it that way. It seems very hopeful. Yes, he had to leave and will miss them, but at the end of the day, they're HIS family, and he'll see them again. He's one of, if not the only, people on Earth to have seen exactly what his future will look like, and as long as he stays on the right track (which he will, or someone's coming back to fix it) he knows he has such a wonderful life and family waiting for him. They'll be there, he's just gotta work for it. What I wouldn't do for that kind of security.
I always loved this movie
As yes when your like changes the number
I watched this movie for the first time this year and it instantly became one of my favorites. I needed more Meet the Robinson’s content in my life, thank you for making this video!
When I was a kid and I first saw Meet The Robinsons I would re-watch the movie every single night before I went to bed. I never really knew why until I got older and realize it was my comfort movie. It had a weird family that embraced they’re weirdness instead of shunned it. As a weird kid that was treated like an outcast for being weird and never understood what a family is supposed to feel like... Meet The Robinsons speaks to me more then any other form of media.
I watched this movie for the first time in around 5 years the other day. I think I found a new comfort film.
And this video was hilarious! "Really get to know the Robinsons" killed me. Your analysis videos never fail to amaze me!
I absolutely love this movie
