Meet the Robinsons/YMMV


 * Anvilicious: Anyone who watched the movie without realizing that the Aesop of the story is "keep moving forward" clearly wasn't paying attention.
 * Ear Worm: "Little Wonders" by Rob Thomas. It's not a bad song, but boy does it ever get stuck in your head.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Tiny. Retroactively.
 * Lizzie, too.
 * Fridge Horror: The second time machine looks nicer because it was being designed for use by the consumer, what could possibly go wrong with that?
 * Sequel Hook!
 * There was a deleted scene . Compare that to what actually happened in the movie,
 * Actually he's probably
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: At the science fair, Wilbur knocks over a box full of frogs and their owner makes him pick them all up. He isn't too pleased, calls her "annoying little girl", and she warns him: "I know karate". It's hilarious on later viewings when you realize
 * Memetic Mutation: I have a big head and little arms!
 * Moral Event Horizon: Fortunately, both of these events are eventually Ret-Goned by the protagonists. And yes, it’s understandable that Lewis would not try to redeem Dor-15 like he did the Bowler Hat Guy.
 * No Yay: People pair Wilbur and Lewis..
 * Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped: "Keep Moving Forward". Repeated over and over again both directly and thematically. And it works.
 * Squick: Ummm... well, at one point Lewis is almost adopted by
 * And he calls her "Mom"... which is not helped by the fact that the studio took Franny's character model and covered it with a cloak for use as Lewis's mom.
 * Tear Jerker: The very end, revealing where the arc words were taken from, reduced many a sentimental viewer to tears.
 * Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Bowler Hat Guy, when his motivation is revealed.  Even if he's not intending for the world to hit the Bad Future that The Man Behind the Man is trying for, the fact is, he is still looking to deliberately ruin the man responsible for much of the awesome tech that the future runs on, thereby making a future that's much less advanced (if not quite a Crapsack World).
