	Media	Author	Review
		Helen O'Hara Empire	"Kids will enjoy the colourful animation and fun characters, but adults will wish it all made a bit more sense (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Todd McCarthy Variety	"A sharp-minded, plenty entertaining toon that will keep children of all ages wide-eyed and on their toes."
		A. O. Scott The New York Times	"'Meet the Robinsons' is surely one of the worst theatrically released animated features issued under the Disney label in quite some time."
		Scott Tobias AV Club	"'Meet The Robinsons' really flowers with the extra dimension, which makes an already neato cinematic universe feel palpably inhabitable"
		Dave Aldridge Radio Times	"Brash and charmless (...) This is too complex and cluttered for kids, and lacks the wit and warmth to endear it to accompanying adults (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		James Berardinelli ReelViews	"It goes without saying that children will enjoy the movie (...) but there's enough of a storyline to keep adults from dozing off (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Ed Gonzalez Slant	"A rather dull storyline (...) [It] is actually notable for refusing to bombard the fourth wall with endless pointy things (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly	"The production team (...) doesn’t know when to take a breath."
		Derek Adams Time Out	"The first 20 minutes of this competently animated kids’ adventure are entertaining enough. But thereafter, the plot fractures"
