Meet The Robinsons

I'm back from a time of not posting anything, but I've got something cool for y'all. Disney's newest solo animation effort has a trailer out. Meet The Robinsons is the title of next year's CG movie about a boy-genius who invents a machine to recover lost memories of the past. The machine ends up taking the boy into the future where he lives with a family whose survival depends on the boy's brains.

What's interesting about the movie is that early last month, Disney sent a copy of Meet the Robinsons to the folks at Pixar in Emeryville, CA to try to rework some story points. Apparently, the story kind of falls apart at the start of the second act, so the Disney people were hoping that people at Pixar who have crafted brilliant animated stories in the past eleven years could give suggestions for the movie in trouble. For more information on the topic, take a peak at this article.

To view the teaser for Meet the Robinsons, click on the image above. I actually think the movie has potential. The animation style seems very similar to that of Chicken Little, and the characters seem pretty appealing. We'll just have to wait, though. Earlier last month, Disney moved the film's release date from December 15, 2006 to March 30, 2007.
