Cine TV Contest #131 - Favorite Movie From Your Childhood

Meet the Robinsons is one of those movies that may not have gained enough attention at the time of its release, but it's a hidden gem in the world of animation and Produced by Disney and released in 2007 and the film combines comedy and drama in a good story about famil and the future.

The story follows Lewis, a genius child who loves inventions. He lives in an orphanage and is constantly feeling lonely, especially as he longs to find his real family. All his attempts at invention fail, but he doesn't give up. His life changes when Wilbur Robinson as a mysterious boy from the future, appears and asks him to travel back in time to confront a mysterious villain with a strange coat and hat.

When Lewis travels to the future and he meets the strange and crazy Robinson family, a family unlike anything he's ever seen. Each member of the family has a unique personality and strange behavior, but they all believe in one thing: "Keep moving forward," which is the film's central message. Amidst the comedy and bizarre situations, Lewis begins to understand the meaning of failure, and that it isn't the end of the road; rather, it's merely a stepping stone to success.

The film's main villain, known as Bowler Hat Guy, seems comedic at first, but over time, we discover he has an unexpected connection to Lewis's past, adding a profound dramatic element to the story. The ending carries a very powerful message about fate and the impact our choices have on the future.

Meet the Robinsons isn't just a children's movie; it's a lesson in hope and not giving up. The animation style was simple compared to more recent Disney films, but it perfectly suited the spirit of the film. If you enjoy films with human value and motivational messages, you'll definitely enjoy this film, and you'll come away with one sentence that sums it all up: "Keep Moving Forward."
