Meet the Robinsons (2007) A very well constructed time travel cartoon. It drags the most in the middle section when it is supposed to be the most exciting - there are so many extraneous characters, irrelevant gags and meaningless events that amid all the pointless spectacle I almost quit watching. I'm glad I didn't though, because once they get back to actually telling the story they really pull it out of the fire and deliver some genuinely interesting, entertaining and touching stuff. I think the fact that it was based on someone else's story and not just cooked up in the Disney studio kept it from being 90% factory formula. I would just edit out most of the middle third and keep the parts that actually have plot. 6/10
