No, I'm ready to chart a course to entertainment. Andrew, let's do this.

Starting point is 00:01:40 Okay, let's do it. Meet the Robinsons. Commence. Well done, Stephen Anderson. A future has arrived. Yeah, and seriously, I really enjoyed that one. Great deal. Yeah, we got some voices to check out. Whoa. We got a lot of. of people on that screenplay yes we did damn that's like an army how many drafts is this okay it's based on a book a day with wilbur robinson oh danny elfman no wonder it makes sense it was on dandy elf pandora yeah that makes sense now well they also do have other composers on there like hans zimmer just many others but yeah yeah yeah but you know but you know it's it's it's one of those ones where yeah the station throws you in one from you know they mix in a few

Starting point is 00:02:30 composers and they go back to Elfman periodically. Yeah, there's obviously a lot of Danny. I forgot that he composed it, but I actually really remember. That's also why I've been thinking about this movie so much is because I've heard the score and that particular one we heard at the end, the doon, do noon.

Starting point is 00:02:46 I've heard that so many times. I'm like, I want to see this movie at some point. Well, it's a full circle moment Anlicio. The future has finally arrived for me. Are you ready to go? Well, guys, we just watched Meet the Robinsons. If you're listening to us on Apple or Spotify, make sure you don't go too far into the future

Starting point is 00:03:10 and you press those five-star ratings immediately. John and I would appreciate it. Or rather, Anjohn would appreciate it. And, yeah, also cool teas like these, rejectnation shop.com. Yeah, oh, I don't think I've seen the blind one. Yes, yeah, we are, we are. Yeah, and also we got some other cool designs out as well. We got the Sheejack, spooky gear right now as well.

Starting point is 00:03:33 We also got Aaron came out with a chesties. There's so much much cool gear over there. Yeah, yes, it's really cool. For you alien serial fans. Now again, I did not know anything about this other than the spiky hair look and the music that I'd heard. Todd Toon is a great name for the sound guy, but great name for anybody on an animated feature. That is a good name. Now, as we alluded to in the intro, I, again, aside from the spike air looking the poster.

Starting point is 00:04:01 Right. It is Angela Bassett. Yeah. Two people were Lewis. Oh, that's cool. Okay. Okay. We got. We got Tom Canny. Lori McCaff. You were correct there as well. Harlan Williams definitely was the robot. Adam West. You called Adam West. Adam Wee. Tom Seleck. And Tom Selleck. We got it. Hell's yeah. All right. We were on those ones. I mean, heck, sorry kids of the reject me. Yes. Oh, and I like their little illustrations and the credits here too. But yeah, like we alluded to in the intro, I really, aside from the poster, the name, and a little of the music I had heard on Pandora, I didn't know anything. And sometimes, or a lot of times, too, I like going and blind, just not knowing anything. And this movie was really delightful and they really hit us with that Guardians of the opening type of, you know, pulling on your heartstrings. And, you know, it was really sad what happened.

Starting point is 00:04:51 And again, that is obviously a thing that happens in real life. you know some people just don't have the means to have a child and that was really sad but it gets you very emotionally invested right away in this character in that like all he seeks is the comfort of a family and like

Starting point is 00:05:07 acceptance. Yeah exactly and like community. Yeah but also too I love like the sense of wonder and awe and this kid like in his propensity for inventing things and like oh this is this is it's a really inspiring thing to watch a young child like want to invent

Starting point is 00:05:23 things and like and discovering things like I love that and I just I'd love to how the energy and the vibrance of Lewis like he was a fun character to spend time with I felt bad for Coophe absolutely yeah sleep is very important get you get your six to 10 or six to eight hours whatever you need to get very important of course but and again we obviously you probably will we'll Wayne right on here damn yeah we're probably going to be accused of having seen them that we really didn't. And again, a couple of these things were a little predictable, but I don't care that they were. It's all about, it's honestly, it's about execution. Because it was executed in a way that I appreciated, it did not bother me. That was a slight bit predictable. And two, I mean, this I

Starting point is 00:06:10 would imagine. Like, obviously, we enjoyed it. I feel like, you know, you can certainly enjoy this as an adult. But it is aimed at a young audience. So I feel like it only makes a decent amount of sense that it would be easy for an adult viewer to be like, oh, hey, I bet this is going to happen or something like that. Well, yeah, once you saw the frogs and once you point, I was like, yeah, you're 100%. Visual storytelling. But, yeah, it's such that it was, you know, sometimes predicting things can take the, like sometimes you want things to be unpredictable. But sometimes, for sure.

Starting point is 00:06:42 So, yeah, it's not always bad to see something coming, I think. And in a case like this, you know, like any of those guesses as to what was going to happen were like, you know, made in fun. and then we're very satisfying to see, you know, come to fruition or how the movie would arrive at those conclusions. So, yeah, it's not like a gripe at all for me. Yeah, whereas it could be on another movie or something like that. But yeah. Yeah, and I also like the message, too, about how, you know,

Starting point is 00:07:06 and I get where Lewis, you know, his feelings about, like, you know, feeling the sadness about, you know, being like going that no one was accepting him too about because, you know, he's got this, again, this propensity for inventing things. And, like, he couldn't find that family that had that same matching that same energy level. And so he was, he was still stuck on the, the past with his mom. Understandably so.

Starting point is 00:07:28 I mean, it's still, I mean, it's even adults feel that way, too. So I get it. But like, I love that message, you know, about, hey, you know, we got to look toward, keep moving forward. You know what I mean? And live in the present to move forward. I think that was a sweet sentiment in the film. And I think, again, executed very well.

Starting point is 00:07:48 And I actually like, I love the characters in this. I love the development, especially with Lewis and, you know, how brokenhearted he was, too, like later on in the story when he finds out that, what was Astro Boys, his son's name. Wilbur. Wilbur. Danger, Wilbur, Robinson, danger. But, yeah, no, I like that the way his character developed and even Wilbur, too. I thought, like, the character interactions, and, like, when everything had kind of been even more shattered, like, you applied to me. like in and also too i love the way uh he got his closure with his mom and realized hey like i can't live in the past anymore and yeah i understand like she she did love me and this wasn't the decision she wanted to make but also too i have a family that uh i know in the future i just need to move forward and make the right decisions and i have a loving amazing the most amazing incredible

Starting point is 00:08:39 family waiting for me yeah absolutely and i think that was a beautiful message and i i really adored this movie seriously i loved it yeah this was super duper fun and and and and like like I said, you know, this is a, what, what, 2007? 2007? Yeah, I mean, like, this is from a period in time where, yeah, I might not have been like as just naturally gravitating toward this kind of movie, obviously, but, but yeah, I was quite delighted by this. And this had a nice blend for me of the Disney, uh, it was like just the right amount

Starting point is 00:09:11 of everything. Like, it's, it's not necessarily like Pixar Disney levels of like, uh, depth and and you know like emotional you know uh swell necessarily however now it's not to say that there's not any of that because i think this really well balanced both having yeah like an actual set of circumstances that a real kid might have with yeah i'm growing up in foster care and it's been hard to get adopted and you know i wonder about who my actual mom is and what the circumstances were why didn't she you know keep me with her you know like all that stuff is yeah to start off the movie, I was like, oh yeah, we are in Disney

Starting point is 00:09:50 territory, aren't we? Because they are pulling at our heartstrings. And that stuff felt very earnest and genuine, and the stuff with his foster mom, the Angela Bassett character, was like really... She was great. It was sweet, but bittersweet, because yeah, you feel for the kid, and I thought that the way the movie

Starting point is 00:10:05 unfolded, it paid off nicely, because yeah, it's like in order to figure out both his way forward in life as just a person, you know, with you know the human emotional needs but also you know for his passion and vocation for his inventing like you know he needed to come to a place of confidence and acceptance of himself and

Starting point is 00:10:29 circumstances and all of that and i thought it was like a nice sort of you know a compliment that yeah it's like you've got to let go of you know this trauma of the past you have to make peace with that and you also kind of have to you know embrace failure, you know. I was about to say that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love that that message that when he, the P. The peanut butter P.B.N.J. thing, when it failed, they're like, yes, embrace this failure. It's only failure if you give up. Like, you learn, you learn more when you fail than when you, and again, obviously, succeeding is fantastic. But you don't learn a lot when you if you succeed. All you learn from succeeding is just like, oh, I guess I had the right plan.

Starting point is 00:11:12 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But again, I guess I'll do that again. And it's the same thing I teach my kids when we're doing baseball lessons like hey it's it's all good like figure out the stuff that you're doing great whatever didn't work on that particular swing for instance like make the adjustments but do it with confidence and execute properly you know it's not failure unless you give up so again i appreciate that message as well because i try to preach that not only in baseball but life as well absolutely and i like the way that that complimented it's like you know the on the invention side it's like, yes, learn to embrace failure and always keep trying because that's what will help you grow.

Starting point is 00:11:50 But also there was that feeling, I think, early on, too, where he feels not like he failed, but there's that thing of like, why didn't mom want me? What's wrong with me? What did I do wrong? Or what was it about, you know, me that she wasn't able to live with or couldn't keep, you know, and they're not the same thing. But I thought the way that they both, you know, once they're both of those sort of arcs, are addressed, then he can move forward.

Starting point is 00:12:17 I thought that was kind of a nicely handled thing. And throughout the movie, his ability to fix things is, you know, he's not able to really fix anything until the end, until the growth has happened. And then, you know, we can assume that he'll fail any number of times from here on. But yeah, keep moving forward. Take the, what you can learn from each experience and grow from that. And yeah, like I thought, you know, it's one of those things where you imagine you'll come to the end and it'll be like, oh, he probably.

Starting point is 00:12:44 probably won't go actually interact with her. And that's like one of those classic time travel things. And I kept saying Ruby Sunday just because like Doctor Who, this most recent season, had a kind of wraparound story that was just like this. A baby left on the steps of a church in that case. And, you know, this kid, you know, has something special about him, but we can't quite tell what. And there's a lot of mystery about like, who was my mom?

Starting point is 00:13:07 Why did she leave me? I want to go back. And the ethical debate of that. And, yeah, this just didn't go. where I was expecting to in a lot of ways because like you said it's like I thought we were just going to spend time in the president and then he was going to get adopted and like you know some

Starting point is 00:13:22 kind of big you know discovery would happen through that or you know the unfurling of a new world would happen through that but in a way it kind of is that it's just not at all in the way you would expect and I didn't yeah realize this was a sci-fi you know a fairy tale of sorts

Starting point is 00:13:38 and yeah it was like just the right amount because this this like I said it has the Disney quality of like, yeah, they're hitting you with a bit of a real life circumstance with a bit of actual pathos and emotion for this character that, you know, in a way that kids can understand and can confront. But, you know, they're balancing that side, which I thought was nice to have with, you know, the tradition of, you know, bright and saturated and, you know, wild and imaginative just cartoons and animation. Like this, this nicely split the difference for me between, you know, I guess, yeah, some. thing it's like it's not a hundred percent just going for zany cartoon but it's definitely got that tradition in its DNA and then it has you know the character oriented stuff as well and this it's weird if you didn't tell me this was a disney movie i might not have guessed i might not have had an exact pinpoint on who made this and and partly too i'm curious to go back and look at

Starting point is 00:14:37 some other films from 2007 in this vein of animation because you know like animations come a heck of a long way since then and this is something about the animation here I enjoyed it didn't make me again think oh this is Disney animation you know because like a lot of time studios will have a sort of proprietary style or character design

Starting point is 00:14:58 sort of set of parameters or recognizable choices whereas here yeah this kind of felt like separate from that in not a glaring way but just like a nice way a way that made it feel unique and yeah you know it's like it's not even the craziest most broad spanning thing it's like you're either at

Starting point is 00:15:18 the orphanage or you're at the school or you're at the robinson compound and then there's a little bit of hijinks through the changing future but yeah i thought this this nicely wrapped a bit of an emotional story with a fun you know imaginative sci-fi cartoon with you know a actual piece of sci-fi time travel and it's like even though we were sitting there going like oh i bet this is this And I bet that's that. It's the kind of thing where, like, to go back to that earlier point briefly, like, sometimes, yeah, being able to, like, call stuff or predict stuff, it can be a sign of a movie being, like, uninspired or not having that much going on. But it can also just be part of the fun. And here I thought there was enough going on all the time, both in the fun department as well as the imagination department, as well as the, again, at the appropriate times, the emotional department.

Starting point is 00:16:07 that like any of those developments just added to like it was sometimes being able to like predict something or to be like oh i wonder if they're going to do this because that would be kind of cool and that's not exactly what i would immediately expect like then that can be fun and i feel like this was that for me was like oh yeah like you know it might be the the visual details are there enough to the point where if you're being a you know a keen-eyed viewer you can probably pick out what they're going for and those things are you're It happened in a way for me that was like rewarding rather than feeling like it was uninspired or something like that. And it definitely felt like I was trying to figure it out because I feel like stuff like this that's adapted from like a kid's book or something like that. Like there's a specific way movies like that behave. And I don't know when this video is going up and I don't know what will have gone up before it. But at a certain point, if you've made it to the video, you know, you win a morsel of. information. We watched the Lorax recently

Starting point is 00:17:10 and that movie is based on like a short book as well and it and I was kind of remind like both of them have this this quality I can't quite put my finger on but I've noticed that like a lot of animated movies that are based on books

Starting point is 00:17:26 have this feeling I can just yeah like I can imagine this being a book absolutely now from the hindsight. It's weird it's like there's something about the way the development and the sensibilities of a book translate into a film like this like I would love to be able

Starting point is 00:17:42 to actually articulate what this is you know it'll take probably more of these kinds of movies to do that but yeah like this was a very very pleasant surprise for sure and adding to what you said too

Starting point is 00:17:53 like we talked about like the predictability but like when I called out that it that's probably goob just because of the way he's sympathized like he's very nefarious but like with this case like no no don't do this

Starting point is 00:18:05 sounds like okay like and again i like the way they did that but also too like i just figured like he's just pissed off at um or very excuse me very angry with um louis or cornelius whatever his name is just because he didn't get a lot of rest but then they went deeper into it's like no it's not just because he didn't rest it's because he didn't rest and lost the baseball game and everything went downhill it was like a downhill spiral from there yeah the chain reaction um kind of their uh you know the butterfly effect if you will and i like how they visually show that on top of the exposition he gives Lewis for saying like why this is all your fault and again it's interesting too like you know he's like I had two options I either blame you or I forgot

Starting point is 00:18:47 accept responsibility yeah and again it's always easier to blame someone else yeah and when your life goes downhill or is in a place where you're not happy and you know and again I did agree with his decisions but I understood the way he felt no and I sympathize with you know what happened and how he just, like, oh, this guy's reaping the benefits of everything. And, like, I'm, like, stuck in an orphanage that's closed down now. I'm an adult orphan. Yeah, exactly. So, and I didn't feel from him.

Starting point is 00:19:18 But I love that also, too, Lewis, when he returned to the past at the end, he saw the air of his ways. And, like, you know, and he chose, hey, I'm going to go to Goob and show support and wake him up to before he becomes my full-fledged enemy and all that. Instead of going to meet my mom and changing the entire course of history into something I have no idea, I'm just going to help out my buddy. I'm going to give back to my buddy. And because he was ignoring him and just focusing on the inventions in the very beginning. And yeah, even that.

Starting point is 00:19:48 Like that's the thing. It's little choices like that where you think back and you're like, oh, yeah. In the very opening scene, like Goob is talking to him. And he's just kind of like in his own little world there. And he's ignoring him. And, you know, not for any malicious reason. But that's just, yeah, he's being absent-minded about, you know, his buddy here. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:20:06 And then also, too, like, because he's putting all his time and energy into the inventions, you've got to be careful about what those inventions are, aka Doris. The hats, the helping hats. Yeah, literally was the bane of all existence in the future because she had nefarious purposes because she became sentient and, yeah, and all that. And that idea of, like, you developed her to just do stuff for you to be. Yeah, and robot. To make life easier.

Starting point is 00:20:31 robot comes from the word for slaves so like you know you basically create her to be your slave and of course she's not going to take kindly to that now i was just like wow like that's even though it's not a huge part of like the main story theme of the movie it's still just like another like kind of rich little detail and too like the different family members and stuff like that and their different themes and the different voice performances and the you know kooky little details they would give to everyone like when they're introducing everybody and you're peering into all the rooms that they're inhabiting and you've got the one girl teaching the frogs to sing and you know all the different like yeah the way you met the family was really the way you met the Robinson's was really fun and then like bringing it back around to

Starting point is 00:21:15 the science fair judge lady with the coffee patches from the trailer like that I thought was really cute and clever yeah like it's it's one of those things where I feel like the inspiration it's like you start to

Starting point is 00:21:31 wonder like oh maybe they'll do this because like the idea hits you and you're like oh that would be fun you know like that would be fun if they did this not just like oh that would be obvious and I think like that's yeah like hats off because this was I didn't know what to expect quite and I know at the time I probably just didn't really pay much mind but yeah like I feel like I didn't expect a movie that we could go on talking about for so long yeah no I again I really I adored the film a lot. And again, at the end of the day, too, it's a father, son, time travel, bonding trip to save the future, I guess. Yeah, and all that back to the future-y stuff without having to be like, guys, back to the future.

Starting point is 00:22:13 Right, right. It's like, not in your face. As kids, they're hanging out, and they're going on an adventure, and they're stuck in one part of time, and they've got to fix things to get back and to set things straight, and he's disappearing at one point because the past, the future is changing. And, like, yeah, like, so many. again they're just so it's not the most like complicated movie ever and yet there's just so many neat layers and choices and and details and flourishes and and yeah like even though it's not the most advanced looking animation even when still like the animation a lot yeah and and going back to that it's like it's not what i'm a hundred percent used to aesthetically from a disney joint like a

Starting point is 00:22:53 flagship disney animation joint but i think that's cool and like yeah the the bright lighting and the saturated colors and it just kind of all fit the world and then the little details like you had the portrait of like there was yeah like Tesla and there was the Einstein clock and maybe like Thomas Edison or somebody like these sketch these like charcoal sketches that are made to look like actual pictures of real people and then you have like the top selling picture yeah then you got the top selling portrait you know like contrasting the rest of the animation and stuff like that that that meta joke was so great too. And then it ended up being voicing it. That's just great writing. I love that. Because as I was hearing the voice, I'm like, is that Tom Sett? It sounds like Tom Selleck? Yeah, no, that was great.

Starting point is 00:23:41 And also, too, last thing before I get into the trivia, I love, whenever we do movies that are in the future, I'm such a stickler for how the look is going to be of the future. And I really love like the look of this. It was, it was fascinating, but different. Yeah, it was retro future, but also kind of

Starting point is 00:23:58 whimsical and like not quite Sucian but like a little bit oh yeah I can see that yeah and and I love like the bubble thing the bubble motif they went with for you know when things were you know sort of being reset and and cleansed in the future has been healed and and yeah like there's yeah a lot of great little little details shall we get into some

Starting point is 00:24:21 trivia enlightened me Andrew okay on John trivia for Meet the Robinson's The parts of Lewis and Wilbur had to be recast when the original actor's voices broke. Oh, no. That sucks for those two actors. I did love the actors that we got for that, but that sucks for the original actors.

Starting point is 00:24:40 My question then becomes, yeah, did they completely redo the performances with new voice actors? Or did they just, like, have to do half when the kids hit puberty and then do the other half? Because I know that did happen. Again, this isn't voice acting, but I know like in Terminator 2 Judgment Day, Edward Furlong like halfway through

Starting point is 00:24:59 his voice started cracking and changing So they had to ADR a lot of Those scenes that they originally shot the first half They have to get like a little oh oh with his new voice Yeah yeah because it was gonna be like half of it would have sounded different That's so funny Yeah Wow

Starting point is 00:25:16 So after reading the screenplay director Stephen J. Anderson actively lobbied to direct the film As a child of adoption himself Anderson personally experienced many of the emotions, questions about belonging, being wanted, et cetera, that Lewis expresses in the film, source director's DVD commentary. Dude, and that stuff, too, I thought was nicely handled because it wasn't like ham-fisted about it and it wasn't like overly despairing, but you did feel the struggle of that

Starting point is 00:25:48 in a way that felt genuine. A picture of Walt Disney is seen in the orphanage. Oh, maybe that's one of the guys on the wall. I yeah like sure definitely the character of Lewis was voiced by both Daniel Hansen and Jordan Frye Daniel Hansen voiced Lewis at the beginning of the film's

Starting point is 00:26:06 production and when Lewis needed things changed they had Jordan Fry redubbed some segments it is noticeable in some parts of the film did you notice it because I really didn't I don't think I clocked it no I didn't either Walt Disney feature animation wanted to assert themselves as being

Starting point is 00:26:22 separate from Pixar renaming themselves as Walt Disney animation Studios. This is the first film to show the new Walt Disney Animation Studios animated logo, which incorporates several seconds from Steamboat Willie, the first Mickey Mouse cartoon to feature sound. Wow. Fun. I didn't know that. Yeah, because I mean, I know that bumper. Absolutely. Yeah. The science fair that Wilbur attends is held at Joyce Williams Elementary School. This is a nod to the author of the original story, William Joyce. Oh, nice. Hell yeah. And I like the inventions, too. I must say like i do you know that's part of the fun of any one of these like rag tag offbeat you know

Starting point is 00:27:01 sci-fi stories about like a young inventor or whatever but yeah like the pb and j gun or the memory like the memory uh the though like what was i trying to what was i thinking machine you know like it's such a great little idea and the designs i liked of that stuff as well yeah yeah yeah hold on one second just seeing who the bowler hat guy was oh my god really who who do we got was it the director it looks like it was the director was was the was boller hack guy steven jans anderson oh sure well done that's cool okay never would have expected that well because wait till you hear for the comment within the trivia what i'm going to say for that uh the i'll get to that in a second the today land park is a tribute to the original tomorrow land the futuristic section of the

Starting point is 00:27:49 disney theme parks immediately visible are space mountain and the original rocket jets oh god of I didn't clock Space Mountain, but I'm going to go back and look at that. I love Space Mountain. When Wilbur's dad is talking to Lewis, he uses the Disney's point-to-point at Lewis, Disney point, a two-fingered point rather than one. Huh. Interesting. Okay. Jim Carrey had a choice of voicing the bowler hat guy or play Walter Sparrow in the film the number 23 later the same year.

Starting point is 00:28:20 He chose the number 23 instead. As he should have, Joel Schumacher for life, baby. Batman Forever, number 23, the two Joel Schumacher films of Jim Carrey. And haven't seen that one. Is that a good one? You know, I think I saw the number 23, like, in high school. Yeah. And at the time, I remember not at least hating it the way its reputation was suggested.

Starting point is 00:28:47 I don't know if it's an actual good movie. Let us know if you guys want me to react to that with someone. I would love to go back and revisit it with you. Okay. We shall hopefully do it one day. one of the pictures on Lewis's wall in his room in the orphanage is of Nicola Tesla

Starting point is 00:29:02 Hey! I clocked that one. Yeah. At one point Lewis mockingly refers to Wilbur as Captain Time Travel. This is evidently an actual superhero character in Lewis's time. Since this character appears on the lunchbox he uses for the control panel of the memory scanner.

Starting point is 00:29:19 The graphic even resembles a muscular cape version of Wilbur. You clocked that one. The dinosaur mascot for the baseball team that Goob plays for is an homage to dinosaur Bob and his adventures with the family Lizardo by William Choice who wrote the book from which Mitha Robinson's is based.
