The ambitious and visually stunning CG pic from Disney Feature Animation, Meet the Robinsons, hopes to be more than just another computer-animated film to clog up the box office. From conception throughout execution, the filmmakers pulled out every stop to make its cohesive story erupt from the imaginative sources in a way that stands out in a crowded field. Based on William Joyce’s acclaimed children’s book, A Day with Wilbur Robinson, the film takes the audience on a time-traveling quest with a fantastical family into alternate futures with a fantastical family where anything can and does happen. |

| “What’s really unique about the movie is the cast of characters – that’s the thing that I’m the most excited about,” says director Steve Anderson, who has been on the project since late 2002. “They’re very human, they have vulnerabilities, they have hopes and dreams that I think you really care about and you latch onto these characters for those things. Even the villain is very human, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how people respond to these characters, and I hope they fall in love with them as much as I have.” | |||
