2/5

The animation strives for 1950s sci-fi retro, but the result is that everyone looks like a plastic anim doll.

4/6

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.

Whether you see this loony, feel-good comedy in 3-D or in regular vision, it's a lot of fun.

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

It's not a big deal, I know, but we can always console ourselves thinking it could have been much worse. [Full Review in Spanish]

A Disney animated film about Lewis, an orphan who invents a time-travel device to discover the truth about his mother. - Story: 2/2 – Deep and emotional for an animation. - Plot: 2/2 – Surprising twists keep it engaging. - Visuals: 1/2 – Graphics are the weak point. - Enjoyment: 1/2 – Fun but not consistently captivating. Overall: 7/10 – Touching, imaginative, and worth watching.

A great Disney movie and yet I wish that the old Disney animators would come back! This was anything as great as blue fit for justice!

I just love This Movie sooo much! - maybe is the Disney Adult in me or this weird connection with the characters, but I really enjoy watching and rewatching this one and even get more emotional every time, maybe as I keep getting older.

Recently watched it again. It was nice to see a Disney film that was family centric, maybe someday they'll get back to that formula. In the midst of sci-fi and time travel was a story about what it means to be a family.
