Blast from the past.
23 April 2007 | by Mozjoukine – See all my reviews

What a pleasant surprise to find 3D form MEET THE ROBINSONS prefaced by a l953 Donald Duck complete with opening beaming close-up and red fabric backed titles, all re-mastered from the great fifties two strip format.

Not seen in dimensional since a blink and you miss it first release this is not one of the best Donald Ducks, with no big ending and the UPA influenced backgrounds no fair swap for the best Disney design. It still offers Chip and Dale's discovery of peanuts and their battle with Dolores, the impatient pink elephant and her keeper.

Fair amount of flinging objects at the camera, pastel shades, technically impeccable with sharp stereo images. Nostalgia and entertainment (they are two different things) mix.
