Talk:Meet the Robinsons

message: Sorry to hog the top post, but if The Number 23 page is an advertisement, then this definitely is.  Half of the article is about tie-ins like the soundtrack and video games.  Which isn't to say that they can't be relevant, but this just feels like an ad.  I won't flag it yet, because I don't want to see it deleted, but it'll take some work.

message: The masive release of this film in digital 3D is historically pivotal. Making this a footnote to the film is as not unlike failing to mention in a 1938 article that "Snow White" was being widely released in Technicolor. There was no comment even to justify the massive edit. The approach might overlook that "The Jazz Singer" , 1927 would be in sound.3dnatureguy 21:09, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Have there been any critical comments from Canadian citizens about the lines:
*Wilbur: Lewis is an exchange student.
*Mrs. Robinson: Oh really? Where are you from Lewis?
*Lewis: I'm from Canada
*Mrs. Robinson: Don't you mean North Montana? They stopped calling it Canada ages ago.
That joke seemed to me to be in extremely poor taste, although I understand that nobody can predict the future. Crisco 1492 10:33, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Jokes about changing political areas are quite common. Lots of media set in the future makes references to countries or states no longer existing. It's part of a larger theme of things being so different in that time period. It's rarely taken offensively.--Viridistalk|contributions 07:18, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Rarely does not mean never. Should a Canadian movie which is also released in the US suggest that Michigan, Alaska, and all of the remainder of the Northern United States be amalgamated into Canada, people would cry "National Chauvinism" or something along those lines.

message: <Spoiler Warning>
Has any one else notice the extreme paradox situation that this movie has going? First of all the whole context on the movie is that doris the robotic bowler hat is using Goob (pardon spelling)aka Bowler Hat Guy to get revenge on the future version of Lewis, who disabled her because she was ,well, evil. The paradox is that if Doris had succeeded in destroying Lewis' hopes and mass produced herself Lewis would never have grown up to be an inventor and would therefore have never invented Doris. If Lewis never invented Doris then she couldn't go back to the past and shatter Lewis' dreams and he would then grow up to be an inventor and invent Doris who would make it so he never invented her ect, ect, the paradox continues. Now if this robotic hat is the brains of the opperation and I know for a fact Goob wasn't then why didn't she notice this painfully obvious paradox and devise a slightly less involved plan to destroy Lewis?
P.S. Yes I do like to analyze childrens movies for fun in excruciating detail. Tune in to TMNT and I'll analyze the old live action movies. :)
Man, you need to be a script writer at Disney or a brain surgeon or something! (And I'm not saying that script writing is like 
brain surgery.) :) 71.253.196.131 22:13, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

The lead frog Frankie was more than likely named after Frank Sinatra.
The baseball team is actually named after Dinoco Gas Station which is the same gas station from Toy Story and Cars.
More than likely doens't mean its completely true. Unless proven otherwise I believe it should be left out of the article. Julie 04:18, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Before the showing of Meet the Robinsons I was at, a non 3-D showing, they showed Walt Disney's short, Boat Builders.

message: I was wondering will Frankie and everyone remember what happened in the past (or future past) because if they do then that will be very weird plus since this is time travel wouldn't that mean that the future Luis will go through the same thing and thus creating a never ending redo of the same thing? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.128.95.109 (talk) 02:57, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another Paradox 

message: In the scene where Lewis is timing the race between Aunt Billie and Gaston, the stop watch used is shaped like the famous Mickey Mouse ears.
When Wilbur is trying to convince Lewis he's from the future, Lewis replies "Oh yeah, Captain Time Travel?" Captain Time Travel is the name of the super hero pictured on the lunch box Lewis uses as a keypad for his Memory Scanner invention.  Wilbur also wears Captain Time Travel's logo on his t-shirt, and Lewis wears a Captain Time Travel cap later in the movie.
In the Memory Scanner montage sequence, the boy sitting at the end of Lewis' row at Midtown University (the lecture hall scene) is possible Frannie's older brother Art.
When Wilbur first appears, the science project he's standing in front of is about "Movie Magic" and "3-D fad favorites."  Meet the Robinsons was the first movie made in Disney Digital 3-D.
In the final scenes, while Lewis is working in his room, two prototypes for the robot Carl can be seen.

thread_title:  More Trivia 

message: I really don't see the idea of using movies such as 
Treasure Planet, Home on the Range and The Black Cauldron and so on, as references to movies that didn't make as much money as this one. After all, these were all flops and economical failures. What if a TV-serie was compared to another TV-serie that was such a flop that it was cancelled even before the first season was over? "This is the TV-series that in no time has become more popular than "Meet the Coach Potatoes"". You probably get my point. This part of the article has very little relevance. 193.217.194.173 12:55, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Did Andre 3000 really drop out of this film? 

message: At the end of the movie, when Lewis wakes up Goob, this ensures Goob will have a better future, but then that would mean that he would have never teamed up with Doris and went into the past to screw up Lewis's project, thus meaning that Wilbur wouldnt go to the past to bring Lewis into the future, making it that the whole going into the future thing would have never happened, so if it never happened, Goob wouldnt have been woken up, so he would want to get revenge on Lewis, thus ruin his project, so Wilbur would come and take Lewis to the future.
Goob waking up implies that he won't hold a grudge against his roommate in the future, so there won't be any villain like Bowler Hat Guy in the future Lewis recreated at the end of the film.  Plus, I REALLY hope Lewis doesn't forget his promise never to invent Doris!  0o0  In short, none of the conflicts in the plot will happen.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.227.157.71 (talk) 01:37, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The plot is very complicated and this is a popular film.  I found the plot summary very helpful, in fact I came to this article looking for it.  Can I suggest that, rather than putting a "too long" tag on and disappearing, editors do the job of reducing the plot summary if they can?  (I've already done what I can, but the tag came back).  Remember, [Wiki is not paper].  "Too much information" isn't a very convincing objection at Wikipedia (and the directs from the "too long" tag don't really justify it).  But it's a free wiki, so let those who can do it better, shorter, go right ahead!  Cheers.  Chelseaboy (talk) 20:15, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

He is not listed in the cast on imdb and when I did Google search for "Meet The Robinsons" "Drew Carey," the only other site I found (metajam.mobi) was just a duplicate of the first three paragraphs of this article.  All of the other search results seem to be coincidental juxtapositions.
