Movie Review: Meet the Robinsons
By Gregg Tubbs

"Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and trying new things…and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." This quote from Walt Disney himself appears in the closing credits of his studio's latest animated effort, Meet the Robinsons. The belief that something wonderful is waiting right around the corner makes this tale of an orphan's search for his own bright future something very rare—a " feel good" movie that actually makes you feel good! And if you are fortunate enough to see it in 3-D, you might be tempted to leave the funny glasses on just to see if some of the movie's magic will spill out into the real world.

Meet the Robinsons quotes

  • Michael "Goob" Yagoobian: [holding the steak up to his black eye] Mr. Steak, you're my only friend.

    Bowler Hat Guy: The... game didn't go so well, huh?

    Michael "Goob" Yagoobian: No. I fell asleep in the ninth inning. And I missed the winning catch. Then I got beat up. Afterward, Coach took me aside. He told me to let it go. I don't know, he's probably right.

    Bowler Hat Guy: No! Everyone will tell you to let it go and move on, but don't! Instead, let it fester and boil inside of you! Take these feelings and lock them away. Let them fuel your actions. Let hate be your ally, and you will be capable of wonderful, horrid things. Heed my words, Goob: don't let it go.

  • Wilbur: Keep moving forward!
