Some crazy but charming shit happens.

>From Yahoo! Movies:

*****

     When Lewis meets a mysterious boy from the future named Wilbur 
Robinson, the two travel forward in time where Lewis discovers the amazing 
secret of the Robinson family. Lewis is a brilliant twelve-year-old with a 
surprising number of clever inventions to his credit. His latest and most 
ambitious project is the Memory Scanner, which he hopes will retrieve 
early memories of his mother and maybe even reveal why she put him up for 
adoption. But before he can get his answer, his invention is stolen by the 
dastardly Bowler Hat Guy and his diabolical hat - and constant companion - 
Doris. Lewis has all but given up hope in his future when a mysterious boy 
named Wilbur Robinson whisks our bewildered hero away in a time machine 
and the two travel forward in time to spend a day with Wilbur's eccentric 
family. In a world filled with flying cars and floating cities, they hunt 
down Bowler Hat Guy, save the future and uncover the amazing secret of 
Lewis' future family.

Like most sub-boomers, I grew up watching cartoons and can appreciate a 
good cartoon movie. Though ostensibly marketed towards kids, movies like 
the Shrek franchise, Ice Age, The Incredibles, and Flushed Away have "in 
jokes" or whole subplots that can be appreciated by adults as well. Meet 
the Robinsons is definitely more kid oriented than any of the above, but 
its execution can be appreciated by anyone.
