Meet the Robinsons

We're at the cinema. Before the film starts, we are shown the following clip. Watch it and sing along with Frankie and the frogs.



What does it mean? Pay attention to the last words! (Be considerate!) Do you think a message like this is necessary today?

Here you have the poster of the film: Meet the Robinsons.



The film is based upon the book A Day with Wilbur Robinson by William Joyce. Read this brief summary of the movie:

Lewis is an orphan and brilliant inventor who dreams of finding a family. His latest and most ambitious project is the Memory Scanner, a machine that will help him find his birth mother so they can become a family. But before he can find her, his invention is stolen by the dastardly Bowler Hat Guy and his diabolical hat and constant companion, Doris. His life takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious stranger named Wilbur Robinson whisks him away to a world where anything is possible...THE FUTURE. There, he meets an incredible assortment of characters and a family beyond his wildest imagination, The Robinsons, who help lead him on an amazing and hilarious adventure with heartfelt results.
