The good stuff

  • Messages:

    "There's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow/Shining at the end of every day" and "Some like the high road, I like the low road/Free from the care and strife."
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Insert contains pictures of characters from the movie, of course, but Disney showed unusual restraint in refraining from packing the artwork with ads for other products. Some of the musicians are actually credited, too -- Bravo!
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Meet the Robinsons

Parents need to know that these lush, "retro-futuristic" arrangements are family-friendly without ever being condescending. Most of the tracks are fun instrumentals composed by the brilliant Danny Elfman, but there are also vocal appearances by talented musicians such as Rob Thomas, Rufus Wainwright, and They Might Be Giants.

    I rate this title on for age 2 and give it 5.0

    An amazing soundtrack for every one!

    This c.d. has inspired me, and some other kids my age, to watch this movie. I thought that the soundtrack fits with the movie. The idea of having frogs singing and also having the idea of the future was outstanding. An amazing soundtrack.
