What a crazy but heartwarming movie! I loved that this was a time-travel film full of pay-offs and call-backs but more than that, I love it was a story about perseverance and family. Enjoy :)

The director (and voice of Bowler Hat Guy) Stephen J. Anderson was himself adopted at an early age. In his teens, he decided he wanted to find his parents. His adoptive parents said that he already had enough on his plate with high school, so if he waited until he was 18, they'd help him find is bio parents... but by then... he didn't care. His adoptive family was his family, and the past and what might have been no longer held any interest for him. THAT'S why this movie is so oddly beautiful and personal. Another fun fact: "Keep moving forward" was in the movie before they ever found that quote by Walt Disney. Toward the end of finishing the movie, Anderson was in a hair salon to get a trim. The magazines they had there were ancient, but one had an interview with Disney. Anderson came across the passage with "we keep moving forward", ran back to the studio, showed the team, and they added to the pre-credits just before the film was finished. Also... I may or may not LOVE this movie. ^_^;

[@starlight4065]

I have the dvd with that shows behind-the-scenes context and was just so inspired by how much love and passion was put into this movie with such a brillant moto

[@squeakSquak]

This movie is so underrated!! I used to watch this as a little kid and I still listen to the music (even though it makes me cry). It's one of my favorite movies just based on nostalgia lol

[@thecocoacouch]

Little Wonders is elite!

[@MrCoggibird]

@@thecocoacouch Such a great song and message behind it

[@MittensZora]

Same, every single time I hear the song or watch the ending I cry. The music is so good

[@amber.ren_1995]

I bought the song Little Wonders on my iTunes when I got my first iPhone. And I have it on my Spotify. Love it ❤

[@MrCoggibird]

@@amber.ren_1995 same as me, back when I first heard it I HAD to have that song on my iPhone!

[@KaelKnight]

Best part is the reason Wilbur says his dad looks like Tom Selleck is because Tom is the voice of the older Lewis

[@wilhelm-z4t]

Yeah, that was funny!

[@tsukimilo]

I don't know about other languages, but it was translated in Latin American Spanish too, with his voice being "El Puma" Jose Luis Rodriguez, and they also replaced Tom's photo with his lmao

[@Dr_Nig]

@@tsukimilo It's done in every language: all the voice actors/dubbing actors of older Lewis also receive the painted portrait when the Robinson family is displayed.

[@generaldela2128]

​@@tsukimiloen Disney plus mantienen la foto de Tom xd, pero recuerdo que en el Disney XD si la cambiaban

15:38 - "Your hair is a DAD giveaway" - Gotta love that oneliner 🤣

[@idkthidwmfl_lizok4704]

OH MY GOD, I'VE NEVER REALISED HELP HAHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT'S GENIUS

[@sylnz97]

@FrozenSilver92 your profile pic made me realise lewis kinda looks like vash 💀

[@SugarCubesMiki]

Never pick up that cause they changed it in spanish...

[@echowall5967]

It’s DEAD giveaway not Dad but it is a foreshadow to the big reveal

[@meatmeatmeatmeatmeatmeatmeatme]

@@echowall5967 yeah, no shit

[@BenjaminDenverstone]

If you listen carefully in the first part of the movie you’ll hear certain sounds: a slippery foot, running, and a knock. The movie reveals this later in the movie. Also Tom Selick voiced Wilbur’s dad.

[@unity1016]

"Failing you learn. From success, not so much." My favorite lines. So true! Teachers should pass this on.

[@alexgriffith1001]

Success can get to your ego and make you complacent!

[@nelsonv1953]

32:25 is a good joke, but also does a good job at showing what self-loathing can do to a person.

[@TheDragonsRose]

We stop listening to everyone except the little voice in our head that fills us with that loathing

[@dbzayan]

Fun fact, the person who voiced the child version of Franny was Toph's voice actress lol

[@TheTuneShifter]

Wait really?!

[@wompa70]

This movie came out about eight months after my wife and I became a blended family. We snuck out to see this while the kids were in school. We absolutely balled and took the kids that night.

[@sister1976]

❤❤❤

[@wintergreene5089]

LOVE this movie!!! my family quotes it all the time. "i have a big head and little arms" is one of our favorites 😂😂

[@ChiariPTCSongbird]

SAME 😂😂😂😂

Same here!

[@mariaghiglieri78]

My brother and I say that to one another and use that as a gif whenever we think the other is doing something stupid. 😂

[@jessc.994]

We do too! And we have to say it in the Dino voice as well!

[@tookitogo]

@@jessc.994 Yes!!

[@merryn96]

This is one of my favourite Disney movies! Very underappreciated and maybe not the best regarding the animation, but the story gets me every time; the feels, man! And the humour as well 😁 "We don't look backwards for very long. We *keep moving forward* , opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious... And curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." ♥️

[@j.r.taylor1997]

This was definitely one of those Disney films that was very underappreciated when it first came out. As someone who was adopted and never knew my biological family I very much felt Lewis's pain throughout the movie and how much devotion he had to finding his birth mother. And when I was little I felt sad that he decided not to find out who she really was. But as an adult I completely understand and I had amazing parents who treated me well and though we weren't the same skin color I love them just as much as any child can love their parents. This movie still makes me cry though in the end

[@ShokkZPlayZ]

19:15 Funfact about this scene, Tom Selleck is the Voice Actor of Lewis, i think this was so funny

[@gamemaster2819]

Apparently it was an adlib, and they loved it so much, they sought Tom to be the final voice

[@floppsymoppsy5969]

Tom Selleck is the actor who plays Richard. The guy who dates Monica in Friends.❤

[@sundalosketch4769]

The real human face in this cartoony world never failed to make kid me hysterical

[@bearick6]

Crazy I just watched this the day I signed my son’s adoption paperwork. After 7 homes, he’s finally happy that he never has to leave. 3 sons adopted now! Underrated movie for sure!

[@theirishslyeyes]

They're so lucky to have found your home!

[@arrivederci_sanya]

that's so sweet!

[@Drakin292]

The part where Louis says goodbye to the grandparents Bud and Lucile, you can just see on their expressions they're remembering every day they had with Louis as a kid and know that he will have the same with them soon. It's so subtle but so well done.

[@crazyguy_1233]

I like that Bud and Lucile knew the whole time. They knew this day was coming so did adult Louis. And then others began to realize who he is.

[@natalialanzabagnomedicina6999]

being adopted and seeing that scene where he refuses to know who was his birth mother is so powerful and emotional

[@Exe3D]

That last scene with the song "Little Wonders" used to make me cry so hard. I was 9 when this movie came out, thinking of my future and now Im older than the age I was thinking of.

[@-12Sided]

That final song “Little Wonders” by Rob Thomas always brings me to tears

[@AestheticallyAndrogynous]

Big same ❤

[@JennyAnn]

Every time.

[@artsysabs]

It’s such a good song!

[@anna_banana7019]

Fun fact Cornelis aka older Lewis is actually voiced by Tom Selleck. Young Franny is also voiced by the same VA as Toph from ATLA

[@madisonmcdaniel3934]

The fact that you said “you need two knives” for the pb&j problem is facts and I agree wholeheartedly.

[@Kaal_do_Olaak]

Luckily for the invention, it fixes the example problem Lewis gives as well as the 2 knives issue

[@AestheticallyAndrogynous]

This movie got me through the worst time in my life. I lost my father to cancer the year this movie came out and it helped me cope with the loss. For the 15 year anniversary of his death i got two tattoos on my pointer fingers, "Keep Moving Forward" and "The Hardest Part Is Over" I think of him everyday, mostly with happiness these days ❤ thank you for watching this movie and sharing with us

[@artsysabs]

Aww I’m sorry for your loss and those are lovely tattoos 🥺

[@typo1345]

the opening of this movie is so great in its simplicity. You have this gentle vibraphone playing, and it just fades in the title against blackness. I love it. I wish Disney hired Danny Elfman to do their scores more. His style is so beautiful

[@debe9114]

When Wilbur came on screen, I thought you guys looked so similar! 🤣 And your immediate reaction to (future) Goob still wearing his baseball uniform...

[@sunnygrassx216]

Now that I rewatched it, I wonder why Lewis's wife and parents didn't recognize him, even if he was a kid a long time ago for them, don't they look through family photos🤔

[@Rinnie-Roo]

I highly recommend reacting to Disney's Bolt next! It may be the most quotable movie I've ever seen and genuinely so hilarious! Probably 50% of my conversations with my siblings are lines from Bolt.

[@Southwest737]

Definitely agree on Bolt! Another underrated movie!

[@RedCaio]

"Destiny? I've been expecting your call" "well not all hamster, the some wolf and a little wolverine in there but that's beside the point"

[@christinapolander4025]

"this movie is so chaotic so far" Oh! Just you wait!! 😂 Love this movie

[@jessfleury3761]

I am so glad you reacted to this movie! This movie was my childhood! One of my favorite scenes you reacted to was the big reveal at the orphanage. The first time I watched this movie, I figured out the villain was Goob early on, but did not put together Louis was Wilbur’s dad until that moment. So, it was cool for me to watch your reaction and the moment you pit together Louis is Wilbur’s dad at the dinner scene and be surprised to learn the villain is adult Goob at the reveal. Also, you are the first person I have ever seen that called that Doris was the true villain and was using Goob before the memory scanner reveal. Fun fact: When Louis lists all the members of the Robinson family, Wilber said Cornelius looked like Tom Selleck. Tom Selleck voices Cornelius. Amazing work!

[@elindayana8174]

This movie means a lot to me. I know exactly how Lewis feels. I'm also adopted. My sixteen-year-old mother left me in an orphanage. More than that, i don't know about my biological family. I would do anything to remember everything about my past. 😭💔

[@anna_banana7019]

This movie is so so nostalgic. I'm surprised Oscar hasn't done brother bear, I would love to see that one next cos it's also one of my most nostalgic

[@shaunessyfeeney]

I really actually forgot how good this movie is in terms of how to navigate life and never give up on yourself or others

[@wilhelm-z4t]

What a great movie with an incredible message! Kind of sad, though, because they don't make'm like that anymore. Such a nice reaction, too. I had a coworker who was adopted. Around that time, there was a constant stream of news accounts about people wanting to know who their biological parents were etc. Or so it seemed, and sometimes the outcomes weren't so nice. So, I asked him if he ever felt that way. He told me: "Why would I want to do that? I know who my parents are." I thought, yeah, that's the way to be.

[@lanee7618]

R.I.P this era of Disney 🥺😢🤦‍♀️

[@sarailopez3331]

Yay! You did my favorite childhood movie! It still makes me cry at the end! As a teacher, I definitely use clips from this movie to show my students at the beginning of the year to elicit discussions about having a growth vs. fixed mindset. SOOO GOOD! 😊

[@amber.ren_1995]

This movie I loved so much bcuz of the fact that it was about adoption and finding a family your family. Cuz I was adopted so this movie resonated with me a lot I loved it ❤ lol STILL Love It!

[@floppsymoppsy5969]

This is a perfect example of misunderstanding driving the plot. The explanation actually can't just be simply explained and therefore solving everything. I love it❤

[@jessquinn6106]

As an adoptee, this film touches my heart so much. Sentiment aside, Oscar you have the had the best reactions I have seen for this flick. Your laughs, faces and expressions...priceless.

[@hehemhem]

Funfact in the german version he says to the question what the father looks like: Tomas Gotschalk and shows a totally different portrait.

[@anna_banana7019]

Oscar looks so much like Wilbur he should do a cosplay of him. All he'd need is the tshirt

[@Dudeman23rd]

If I'm remembering right, the lines "What does Cornelius look like?" "...Tom Sellick." were written into the script purely as a joke, before Cornelius's voice had been cast. Then they reached out to Tom Sellick to see if he was interested and he actually accepted! So it stayed in the movie, plus Tom's face is used in the portrait during the family tree scene. I don't have a source for this though, so if anyone can back that story up, it'd be cool.

[@sofiakranenbarg]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH!!! So glad you reacted to this underrated masterpiece!! It has such unique characters and plot,simply amazing

[@theartisinthesoul-tt8gs]

This is one of those movies where as a kid you dont get the sad themes until you're older like in scene on the roof "i have no future!" That shit hits hard😢. Also another dinosaur movie you should watch is walking with dinosaurs.

[@CarWashReviews-Ethan]

I like the fact you don't really announce your uploads. For us (maybe just me), every upload of any of my favorite movies is like a lucky draw. Thanks for being cool

Hey, just wanted to let you know that God loves you so much! And He wants you to know Him. He is truly a loving father. Turn to Him and find peace!

Did you realize the grown up Lewis is voiced by Tom selleck?? 😂

[@lari5045]

omg this movie is so good, i remember my younger self watching the dvd weekly

[@tassji_s]

I always cry at the end during Little Wonders, its just that sort of cry that everything is gonna be okay and that everything turned out okay, as a child who had a tough chilhood it always gets me because it can get better. If you loved this you should also watch Disney's Bolt it was also in disneys experimental era and makes me cry just as much as Meet the Robinsons.

[@StaciePoole-ng2ky]

The song at the end makes me cry every time. I think this one should get more recognition.

[@amber.ren_1995]

It was chaotic bcuz that’s how some families are they’re chaotic in the best way. That’s the family’s charm ❤

[@nenzireacts]

I still listen to Little Wonders it's so good

[@crazyguy_1233]

This movie is so underrated and its messages are so important. Don't stay stuck in the past, sometimes your real friends and family were there the whole time you just never saw them, success only comes after failure, learn from your mistakes. Its all so important to remember.

[@_Nyxus_]

When I first watched this movie I didn't like it at first. But the longer the movie went on the more it grew on me and the deep message behind it really stood out to me (I'm someone who struggles so badly with failure). The family celebrating failure really was incredible and I wish we'd celebrate attempts more than successes.

[@rayzuke1232]

Keep moving forward Walt Disney... the irony. Walt Disney must be rolling over in his grave with the current state of disney.

[@Tree]

Fun fact! Young Franny is TOPH! (Same voice actress) This movie is great and extremely underrated. People think the "he is the dad" is a too easy to spot twist, but thats clearly on purpose. The real twist is him meeting his adoptive mum in the end, that's always a joy to rewatch! I remember loving that movie as a kid. I wish it was more well known and recognised. It's simple and interesting, very well written and has a great message. Also it handles time travel and other science fiction concepts incredibly well. It certainly was nerdy awakening for many kids in my generation 😂 #keepmovingforward 🎉

[@unclelink]

There's a theory that the lady in the orphanage (Mildred), his adopted mother and his actual mother were all friends. I couldn't see hoe those Maths would work out but it doesn't matter! All you need to do is "keep moving forward!"

[@DemonicYami7449]

I wish you could watch Treasure Planet, it's one of my favorite, if not my favorite, disney movies ever, i know you will enjoy it !

[@nu.o7369]

Toph’s voice actor voices young Franny while adult Franny is voiced by kim possible the green lady villain shego i think

[@chriswarren6738]

Oscar, letting you know that Lewis is Mike TV from Charlie and the chocolate factory

[@gamebeast4191]

if that world was real, bad goob could've done something drastic

[@JM-vj2sx]

I would have liked a post credit scene showing Goob’s future success.

[@pierrexxanubis]

Even though I have parents, I had to live on my own from the age of 11 years old. I watched this back when I was 7 years old and I bawled my eyes out. This movie is so much more to me than a silly animated film. This movie learned me a motto and give me inspiration that even though times are hard mostly... There is always a brighter future ahead if only you keep moving forward. Loved this reaction and again, bawled my eyes out. Thanks Oscar! 🤙🏼❤

[@StAngel22]

This is inspired by the book of the same author of “Rise of the Guardians” ❤ “Lost Ollie” and “Epic” are also by him.

42:20 I love this. It's so obvious in hindsight too hahaha

[@warriormaiden9829]

As strange as it sounds, Bowler Hat Guy is one of my favorite villains. He's actually rather smart (in his own way), and 22:30 showcases this. His first idea (blow it up) would have ended in failure (Lewis's death), and he REALIZED it, and moved on to think of something else. His next idea (turn Lewis into a duck) was rather ridiculous, but he explores it anyway for a moment. And then he comes to the realization that 1: he doesn't know how or have the technology to do that, and 2: he has no need for the end result. He needs Lewis *as he is,* not Lewis transformed. Many villains would have stopped at the initial idea, and thrown themselves into making it happen and repeatedly bashing themselves against a 'wall' with little thought on how to reverse things later, rather than working within their own boundaries. To actually accomplish his goal, he used the tools he had available. His first execution of idea didn't succeed simply due to poor timing (had Lewis been alone, it would have been a simple matter to have the frog walk up to him, and then switch the hat to Lewis's head). His second execution of idea didn't succeed, but that is due to the number and ingenuity of the family rather than true failure on his part. He may not have a 300+ IQ, but the fact that he actually logics his way through his plans and evaluates their feasibility puts him ahead of a lot of villains out there.

[@katiebacon1763]

as a little kid, I HATED this movie because it was one of the three movies my school would play on movie days, and the scene where wilbur dissapears freaked me out so bad. now that i'm older and get the humour, its actually a really good movie

[@Jasminejacinto24]

I started crying when goob said “ mr steak your my only freind” and when he got beat up! lol

I haven't been in foster care or what not, but I love the message for kids, teens, and adults about adoption and "Keep Moving Forward". Its written so well and how everything works out in the end when you look out for your friends too instead of putting all your focus to the past. If we keep on trying, everything will work out for you too. Its so good.

I really enjoy your reactions and love the positivity from your videos, as well as how insightful and reflective you are! This was one of those movies I've seen many times as a kid but I didn't really understand the significance of it until I rewatched it when I was a bit older. But it's definitely been a while and I forgot how good it is. Actually, this video came at just the right time for me - I'm currently going through some setbacks (job related) and it's been so demotivating, so this popping up was almost like the universe telling me, "hey remember to keep moving forward." So thank you for sharing this movie reaction with us

As an adopted kid who loves to create, this is one of my favorite Disney movies (only Ratatouille beats it) Bowler Hat Guy's complete incompetence at being a villain (to the point even mind controlled beings criticize him) makes me crack up.

I can't believe you reacted to this movie. It's just one of those quotable movies that is also so forgettable at the same time. No matter how many times I've watched it, It's always a new experience for me. I don't know how I can forget how the movie starts and plays out and yet will never forget the caffeine patch or the dinosaur's only line. I got a nice little bit of nostalgia going through this with you, so thank you.

[@walterwhitejr.445]

[@RedCaio]

This movie makes me cry because I'd often think "I hate my life I wish I could go back and undo this or that" and the movie says if we could see our future, it'd be good enough that we'd choose not to change the past for fear of loosing (parts of) it. Now I'm older and have my own family and I still sometimes wish I'd given up and wish I could undo things. Still waiting for that "happy future" that's supposed to make it all worth it. :(

[@fandomshark]

"Meet the Robinsons" has been one of my favorite Disney films since the first time I watched it. It's whacky, the animation actually kind of works with the style of it, and it's just kind of beautiful.
