- TriviaThe parts of Lewis and Wilbur had to be recast when the original actors' voices broke.
- GoofsWhen the Bowler Hat Guy is trying to pass off the memory scanner as his own, he is seen carrying the memory scanner in the box right side up, and then after the introduction is seen taking the box off the top, but in order to do that, either the box would have had to have been turned upside down, or the bottom would have had to been loose, in which case the memory scanner would have fallen out.

Despite having a pacing problem I wil not consider Meet The Robinsons a bad movie, because it's definitely more good-natured that aforementioned Chicken Little. The message is about believing in yourself and keeping your head up even when things seem hopeless. Its message isn't sugar coated or hammered in so credits to the writers for getting that right.
But yeah, as well intentioned as it might be, the pacing problem takes away the final punch that could make the movie a forgotten gem, but we get so many characters and jokes thrown at us from time to time that we don't get to know the side characters fully.
But overall a good expirience. Underrated? Yes. Masterpiece? No. But it has its moments which makes it worth your time.
