2/5
The animation strives for 1950s sci-fi retro, but the result is that everyone looks like a plastic anim doll. Go to Full Review

What might have been a bland Back to the Future rip-off suddenly hums with a screwball sensibility chockablock with singing gangster frogs and evil bowler hats. Go to Full Review
Richard Roeper Ebert & Roeper 04/02/2007
Whether you see this loony, feel-good comedy in 3-D or in regular vision, it's a lot of fun. Go to Full Review

Both one of Disney's most moving and entertaining efforts, the film is one of the rare near-flawless outings for the studio. Go to Full Review

Steve P @pycni3-sabmIq-gihtes 10h This is one of the most powerful movies I’ve seen. Its message about letting go of the past and reaching for the future is a timeless truth that speaks to young and old. See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera 19h An animated sci-fi film with good intentions and an inspiring message, but one that ultimately falls short. The time-travel concept and the mystery surrounding the young inventor's future are interesting, but the movie loses its way midway through due to chaotic pacing and too many quirky supporting characters that don't add much to the story. A perfectly average film—likable, yet forgettable. See more Rowan S @rdog67 2d I thought this film was amazing with it starting with a kid that was abandoned and with it ending with him being the smartest and happiest man in the future and it shows that anything is possible with the right motivation and people with you See more Shephard H @Coolguess. Jul 9 Wacky, colorful and undeniably genius, Disney animation has cooked up the most underrated movie to ever grace the studio. It has laughs and ambitions uplifted by an altogether masterful score that graces the moments of tension equally as much as those of humor. Its twists are believable and brilliant… they match its themes surprisingly well and deliver an extremely relevant message. The movie is only further boosted by its charm contained within the many diverse characters that grace the screen with creativity and unmatched hilarity. I would die a happy man if this movie got a fresh score… if you don’t believe me, then just check it out. Keep moving forward. See more Olivia G @ogg99 Jul 2 Very creative and fun animation. The message was wholesome and left me feeling encouraged. #keepmovingforward 💫 See more miley B @miley.bogo Jun 18 i don’t think i have even loved a movie more than this movie. i am a disney child through and through and have seen so many disney/ disney pixar movies in my life and this is by far the best. it is one of those movies that you can rediscover and fall in love with so many times. this summer i found it for the first time in so long and now have seen it AT LEAST 20 times. the message is amazing and teaches such a great message. i love how at first lewis fails so much and decides to give up but whenever he meets wilber he gets a boost in confidence. him and the robensons help lewis so much they teach him no never give up and that he needs to keep moving forward and the message sinks in when he helps goob (amazing full circle if you ask me) i could go on and on forever about this movie and recite many parts from memory but i will not so if i have to leave you with one thing it has to be WAYCH THIS MOVIE it’s the best and definitely a comfort movie for me! best movie ever 100/10 recommend!
