The Robinsons

The Robinsons are a family of 16 members, of eccentric and futuristic inventors who appear in Disney's 2007 animated feature film Meet the Robinsons, based on the book A Day with Wilbur Robinson by William Joyce. They are the adoptive family of the protagonist, Lewis Robinson, a 12-year-old orphan and genius inventor from the past. The Robinsons play a major role in the film, as they are the ones who inspire Lewis to pursue his dreams and embrace his destiny. They also help him stop the Bowler Hat Guy and Doris, who are revealed to be the future versions of Goob and Lewis' failed invention, respectively. They also welcome Lewis into their family, as Bud and Lucille adopt him and rename him Cornelius.
==Members==
The Robinsons consist of the following members:
* Lewis Robinson: The patriarch of the family who is later renamed Cornelius after he is adopted by them. He is a successful inventor and the founder of Robinson Industries, a company that produces various innovations and inventions. He is married to Franny and has a son named Wilbur.
* Franny Robinson: The matriarch of the family and the wife of Cornelius. She is a brilliant conductor and the leader of the Frogs, a jazz band composed of anthropomorphic frogs. She teaches frogs to sing and play musical instruments. She is very supportive of Lewis and encourages him to pursue his dreams.
* Wilbur Robinson: The son of Cornelius and Franny and the main deuteragonist of the film. He is a 13-year-old boy who travels back in time to meet Lewis and bring him to the future. He is adventurous, confident, and mischievous, but also loyal, brave, and kind. He uses his Dad's time machine to try and prevent the Bowler Hat Guy from altering the timeline.
* Bud Robinson: The father of Cornelius, husband of Lucille, and the grandfather of Wilbur. He is the head of the Robinson household and the host of the family dinner. He is a cheerful and friendly man who loves his family and welcomes Lewis with open arms. He has a habit of wearing his clothes backwards while joking "his head is on backwards", and wears dentures, which he needed help finding and were ultimately found being worn by Frankie, the lead member of Franny's frogs.
* Lucille Krunklehorn: The mother of Cornelius, wife of Bud, and the grandmother of Wilbur. She is a sweet and caring woman who loves her family and treats Lewis like her own grandson. She is also shown to disco dance, which Bud refers to as "baking cookies".
* Uncle Art: The brother of Franny and Gaston and the uncle of Wilbur. He is a pizza delivery man with a superhero persona who delivers pizzas with his pizza-shaped flying saucer.
* Gaston Framagucci: The brother of Franny and Art and the uncle of Wilbur. He is a tall and muscular man who loves to eat meatballs. He is very protective of his meatball cannon, which he uses to shoot meatballs at anyone who tries to touch it.
* Billie Robinson: The wife of Joe, aunt of Cornelius, and the great aunt of Wilbur. She has a passion for trains and owns a very large "toy" train set that runs throughout the house.
* Joe Robinson: The brother of Bud and Fritz, husband of Billie, uncle of Cornelius, and the great uncle of Wilbur. He is an obese man who "works out" according to Bud, despite just sitting and watching exercise shows.
* Fritz Robinson: The brother of Bud and Joe, husband of Petunia, uncle of Cornelius, and the great uncle of Wilbur. He is a bespectacled and balding man who is married to Petunia. He is very nervous and easily startled and often faints at the sight of anything unusual.
* Petunia Robinson: The wife of Fritz, the aunt of Cornelius, and the great aunt of Wilbur. She is a puppet that Fritz controls with his hand. She is very bossy and domineering and often scolds Fritz for his mistakes. She is also very vain and obsessed with her appearance, and constantly demands compliments from Fritz.
* Laszlo Robinson: The son of Fritz and Petunia, the cousin of Cornelius, and the first cousin once removed of Wilbur. He loves to paint.
* Tallulah Robinson: The daughter of Fritz and Petunia, the cousin of Cornelius, and the first cousin once removed of Wilbur. In one scene she gets into an argument with her brother Laszlo when he got paint on her hat, which lead to Petunia scolding them for waking her up and then driving away.
* Lefty: The butler of the Robinson family. He is an octopus who wears a tuxedo and a monocle. He is very loyal and obedient and can perform various tasks with his tentacles. At first Lewis was scared of him until Bud explained who he was.
* Spike and Dimitri Robinson: A pair of twin brothers who are referred to as "Uncles", but it is unknown if they're related to anyone within the family. They are very competitive and always try to outdo each other when competing for doorbell rings.
==Trivia==
* The Robinsons are loosely based on the characters from the book A Day with Wilbur Robinson by William Joyce, who also served as an executive producer and art designer for the film.
** They are also inspired by Walt Disney and his legacy, as they embody his vision of innovation, creativity, and optimism. The film also features several references and homages to Disney and his works, such as the Tomorrowland theme park, the Carousel of Progress attraction, and the song "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow".
* The Robinsons are voiced by several notable actors and comedians, such as Tom Selleck, Nicole Sullivan, Adam West, Laurie Metcalf, Harland Williams, and Tom Kenny. The director of the film, Stephen J. Anderson, also voices the Bowler Hat Guy.
** They are also one of the few Disney families that feature adoptive parents and children, along with the Pelekai ʻohana from Lilo & Stitch, the Millers from Tarzan, and the Prouds from The Proud Family.
