'Meet The Robinsons' is a 2007 Disney animation movie.

This movie is based on a children's book written by William Joyce. The book was named 'A Day With Wilbur Robinson' after the protagonist.

This film focuses on the theme of time travel by Lewis who is an aspiring 12-year-old inventor along with 13-year-old Wilbur Robinson. The quest to search for his mom makes Lewis follow Wilbur, in the future. The film is a comedy-animation genre and at the end shares a strong quote by Walt Disney himself that states, "Around here, however, we don't look backward for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." Wilbur is the one who reiterates this particular quote and follows another quote by Walt Disney that says, "keep moving forward", which is one of the smallest and best quotes from the film.
