The Petoskey Film Theater will be showing the animated Disney film "Meet the Robinsons." Donations are appreciated.
"Meet the Robinsons" is a visually impressive children's animated film marked by a story of considerable depth. This lively computer-animated Disney film follows the adventures of Lewis (voiced by Jordan Fry and Daniel Hansen), a young orphaned inventor who is determined to find his birth mother by using a "memory scanner," a device of his own creation. When Lewis meets a boy from the year 2037 named Wilbur Robinson (Wesley Singerman), they begin a charmingly strange time-traveling journey that involves Wilbur's eccentric family, bowler hats bent on world domination, song-and-dance frogs, and a frustrated Tyrannosaurus Rex. While ROBINSONS' literally all-over-the-place plot can be a little difficult to follow at times, its stunning retro-futuristic visuals and amiably wacky characters easily keep viewers entertained.
Bring your blankets and lawnchairs and have a fun-filled movie night out under the stars.
