WWTD 073 - Meet the Robinsons: Motherly Figure

For all the inexplicable strange movies we've watched on We Want The D, and all the ones yet to come, it's hard to imagine that any of them will match the off-the-wall absurdity of this week's Disney film. There's a zany energy to this movie that doesn't compare to anything else the House of Mouse has produced, but that doesn't mean that it's missing the core or heart of what makes a great Disney movie. Which is what made watching MEET THE ROBINSONS such a delight for Vicky, Nolan and Jill. It's a movie that knows how to have fun; with its sense of humour, with its character designs, with its dialogue. It's equal parts a wild ride that drags you along whether you like it or not, and a heartwarming story about family and moving on from past failures and sadness. It's a movie that fully realizes the ethos of Walt Disney, beloved creator - though maybe not so much the ethos of Walt Disney, tyrannical studio head.
