I dig that people are becoming more self-aware in this regard.

I can't even blame Lewis for the peanut butter thing. She said: "We don't usually eat peanutbutter" when what she MEANT was "my husband will INSTANTLY begin to swell on every inch of his body if he even TOUCHES the stuff." Don't downplay your allergies, especially if they're THAT life threatening.

[@gothicMCRgirl]

Yup, but I’ve actually seen this strange phenomenon of parents downplaying serious issues like that in real life, too. I have a nephew who is allergic to shellfish, and when he went to preschool, we told the teacher this fact as a heads up. We told her while there were little kids running around, one of them overheard this conversation and asked very innocently, “why can’t he eat that?” And instead of just saying my nephew had an allergy, the teacher for some reason just said, “oh, he just really, really doesn’t like it.” And that made me go ???? Just… why phrase it that way? I don’t know what it is with some adults that they just can’t have straightforward discussions with kids, but it’s so annoying.

Also, it’s super dangerous to imply that a child just doesn’t like something when in reality they’re very allergic to it. If he ends up phrasing it like that to an adult that doesn’t know any better and gives him shellfish anyway, he can get hospitalized.

[@BrokensoulRider]

@@gothicMCRgirl I absolutely hate that adults do this still. Being open and upfront to kids, who are (As I always tell people for a good reason) the dumbest smart creatures when it comes to the human race, lets them make more decisions wisely, even when they're young. You just have to explain it in a way that their developing minds can understand (For example, all the fairy tales children used to grow up on. They were stories with morals in them on how to behave and act. Another would be, yes, religion). Playing dodgem around a tough topic messes a lot up.

[@Window4503]

@@gothicMCRgirlThe weird thing is that it’s not like kids can’t understand! Even though I didn’t have allergies as a kid, I understood what an allergy was especially once allergic reactions were shown (comedically of course) in cartoons. If you tell the average kid “peanuts make it harder for me to breathe” usually they’ll feel a bit of horror on your behalf and make sure to avoid giving you peanuts unless they lack empathy.

As an autistic orphan, this movie meant a lot to me growing up. My grandparents were my guardians, but they were never happy to have to raise me. This movie gave me so much hope that I'd find a family who would actually want me one day. I'm still looking for them, but... Someday.

I still try to find my place in the world and the struggle for selfworth is real. In my early 20s I found me a Robinsons family. So to everyone else that can relate to Lewis: Dont loose hope. Yes, at some point I had to leave my Robinsons to live my own life, and I still struggle to find my place, but...

As an adopted person, I can offer the adoptee perspective. All too often, adopted individuals grapple with feelings of worthlessness and struggle to find belongingness, a way to fit in the world. Lewis doesn't have anyone to tether him. He doesn't have a central unit, a place and people to call home. He never had the parental assurance to develop inherent self-worth. He's wandering through life trying to find innate, human connection. He believes that if he finds someone who loves and wants him, then he has self-worth, then his existence is validated. That's why he fixates on remembering and meeting his mother. However, it comes at the cost of him not acknowledging his own brilliance and the salient, unique, and wonderful pieces that comprise his being. That's why Lewis pulling away at the chance to meet his mother is so powerful. He's acknowledging his own self-worth and his ability to shape his future. He is no longer binded to the past. He's enough as he is. The scene exemplifies radical acceptance, self-love, and compassion. As an adopted person, I bawled through that scene. I always wanted to meet my birth mother for similar reasons to Lewis. It's the grief of letting go of something so naturally human, to want to know who you are, where you come from, to know the person who gave you life. But rather than being tied to the past, he chooses to move forward. He cannot change the past but he can enlarge his future. Meet the Robinsons resonated with me and so many other adopted individuals. It invited me to validate my own life experience, connect with my innate self-worth, and keep moving forward.

I am in foster care and I feel the exact same way. , and reactive, attachment disorder, and the emotional maturity of a 10 year old. When I look in the mirror, I don’t recognize myself, literally. I feel these very strong emotions and desires for things, but I could never describe what they were. It’s hard for me to create a mental picture of what’s happening to me. Your comment described it very well. I am physically taken care of and foster care, but there isn’t any emotional connection at all. The foster parents tell us that they are just babysitting us for the state. The foster mom told me that she is having foster children as a job, not to actually, help any children. She said if she can possibly help a child in someway, that’s fine, but she’s not going to actively search for how to do it. they receive a ton of money for all of us, foster kids, plus they have water called respite beds, and she receives I think $75 a day, for every bed that is available. surely before I arrived here, the actual family went on a three week vacation to Hawaii, and during that time all of the foster kids were locked up in juvenile hall. That’s right, the kids were putting children in jail as if they committed a crime, simply because the foster parents went on vacation for three weeks.

[@SDRotBadger]

@@richardalmeida2646 I’m fostered too. I was fostered when I was 4 & stayed with my first foster Family. I’ve been fostered for 13 years & I don’t feel loved. It’s not like they don’t. They do love me but I don’t understand it. All I wanted was to be loved in the first place but when I finally got love I felt the it’s not for me. I know they love me but my brain just can’t understand they love me. I feel numb all the time and depressed that it feelings normal to me. Where are you from? You from America because I’m from England. & I’m pretty sure here foster workers don’t get paid they have to have a job. Also, that sounds awful. The system is messed up. I wanted to be a foster worker but I couldn’t deal with the children (PTSD) so i’m aiming to be a dog foster. I love dogs & every animals. Sorry if you can’t understand it all, I am dyslexic.

[@karlab95]

One of my favorite details about the villain in this movie is seeing him say "everybody hated me" right after seeing several people trying to be friendly to him. I think it's a good reminder that sometimes we project how we feel about ourselves onto other people. Yes, some people out there will not like you (sometimes for absolutely no reason) but you don't have to decide that for them.

[@Scrofar]

Also so true. Possibly imposter syndrome going on. I remember a time when I was so convinced I was just letting my friends down all the time, when the reality was they never saw it that way and still liked me just the same, cringe and all.

[@osmanyousif7849]

I mean, if there was a scene of one of them trying to apologize to him, but Mike/Goob was so blinded by anguish that he refused to let it go, then I'd buy it more. Also, consider that one of those kids speaking to him was the same team member who beat him up after the game. So yeah, not saying that Mike was in the right, but even I'd be saying to that dude, "Cut the crap, f**k off.".

[@KuraiLunae]

I think a big part of that gag (beyond being funny, at least) is that those could all easily sound sarcastic or mocking if the recipient is already in a bad headspace. So even genuine attempts at friendship feel like they're making fun of you for not having friends, or for enjoying a hobby. It doesn't take much to turn what would be a positive interaction into a negative one when you're already upset, and it's much harder to get back to the positive side. Assuming the kids were genuine, they were only trying to help but didn't have the tools necessary to make that jump back from Goob's negative thoughts.

[@Darkloid21]

Well the hosts shouldn't lie to people and say your people are out there. There are some people who don't belong anywhere, and not in a "menace to society" sort of way. Some are just unwanted, myself included.

​@@Darkloid21 I'm really sorry that's been your experience. Without knowing how old you are, where you've searched for your "tribe", or what you are interested in, it's hard to reply meaningfully.

[@bronzieblue63]

I think it was kinda glossed over, but that gag of Goob walking by literally everyone at school who was trying to be nice and loving towards him with a frown on his face as he ignores them didn't get enough attention. When he lost the game for his team by missing the catch, and his team beat him up, it was like he began to go into a very longterm downwards spiral of self-punishment without giving himself any grace, the only kind of grace he effectively allowed himself was when he did enough mental gymnastics to turn someone else into the scapegoat and stopped taking responsibility for the consequences of his own actions, and also stopped taking responsibility for his own mental wellbeing. It was bad that he missed the catch, and he already knew it was a failure, but he punishes himself for years of his life through isolation and continuing to internalize that he doesn't deserve happiness or love (in how he drives off every adoption interview couple with the exact same story where he basically scares them off with his demeanor as he recounts the story again and again and again) over a shortcoming that if anything was brought on by sheer circumstance. If Goob forgave himself for this shortcoming or even just sought out a loved one to just cry to, I'm pretty sure the rest of the movie's story wouldn't exist.

[@BatAmerica]

I'm glad that the movie handles the found family reveal trope with maturity. While we sympathize with Lewis finding belonging with his biological Mom, the movie subtly demonstrates how the love he needs is right there. As a result, it treats its younger audience with respect rather than spelling it out.

[@CheyenneRose]

I am an adopted child and have friends who were in the foster care system and I just wanted to add my own commentary to this sooo 4:16 I feel like this is a huge struggle for foster kids, especially teens, older children and children with disabilities. Finding a family can often be harder as a kid gets older due to them being 'too old' to form a bond. I also feel like children with physical and cognitive disabilities and kids with mental health problems are also less likely to get adopted. It's a really sad fact of life for foster kids. 8:43 I love this woman so much. She reminds me of so many people I've had in my life who have been exactly what I needed. My mom is great but she's also not big on affection or affirming me. One of my teachers, my friend's mom, and my former caretaker come to mind when I think of this woman. I love seeing adoption agents who genuinely want to help and she's doing all the things she should. She speaks in a calm tone, she doesn't immediately bring up the interview right out the gate and when she does, she doesn't berate Louis. She affirms him. Over all, 10/10 amazing adoption agent.

Fun fact, the creators of the film didn't actually discover that quote until just before the movie was finished.

He gets all sad and his tail droops and he huddles in a corner. I’ve never had a cat act like that and it just goes to show how DEEP rejection goes-even for animals! Even though we should know it doesn’t have to mean anything about us, we can also give ourselves grace for having big reactions to rejection. That stuff HURTS! My poor cat can’t even be aloof like a cat because he can’t get over it. Fortunately as humans we can work to give ourself better messages so we can try again.

My cat was born a stray, found in a parking lot by an old friend of mine. He lived with them for a couple years, but when they moved they couldn't keep all of their cats. He and I had kinda bonded a little when I visited (even though he is terrified of strangers and he never showed up when I was awake, I'd wake up after sleeping over to find him sleeping on me), so I took him in. He also acts like a dog! Ducks if he thinks he's in trouble, comes when called, biggest lap cat, I've even taught him tricks fairly easily because he's so eager to please. He's still terrified of strangers, but over time he's opened up to repeated visitors and will come running for love and affection. Sad to know it happens because of rejection and fear, but interesting to know there are other cats out there acting like dogs, haha

I can understand teaching young children spelling, reading and basic math. But there is no reason you should force me to study history because I won’t use that information unless I go into that field which you have no guarantee I will. Let the students pick there classes when they go to high school. Rant over. Have a good day folks

@@LunarAnimeAngel You need all that basic knowledge so you don't start to think stupid stuff like animals are all created in a lab or dinosaurs never existed, if you don't know the basic of not just what they are but how things happened. The less you know, the less you understand, and generally what people don't understand they fear. If you don't know history then you'll be surprised when world news happens that has happened a million times before in history, so it gives perspective. Attitudes change depending on what knowledge you have and how you view it. So yes, all of that stuff matters in your day to day life because your view of the world and what's in it changes how you approach each second of every day.

It's. About. Time. I've been waiting for this so long. It is one of the most underrated Disney movies. It is a delightful little film that teaches acceptance of yourself and all your quarks. It teaches embracing trying and learning not perfectionism. It teaches no matter how bad something may feel or setting you back, you Just Keep Moving Forward. I know the plot of time travel is a jump, but it shows reflection on current circumstances and self worth. At 40 I'm still struggling with this, but this movie struck a chord. I wish it came out years earlier when I was a child. Maybe I wouldn't have been so scared to make a mistake and I wouldn't still be struggling with self worth. There are very healthy messages and lessons that come from this movie. Also for a Disney fan, this is sort of a love letter to Walt and how he changed the entertainment world.

[@skippykipper]

Okay, first of all, Meet the Robinsons is one of my favorite movies and one I carry so deep in my heart, so THANK YOU for speaking into this! This was such a special episode for me. Secondly, there was a comment about Uncle Joe: "What is with the Uncle who is going to die if he doesn't get his food?" I would love to speak into this! Uncle Joe is a great example of what nonverbal, stage/level three Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can look like. For those with ASD (and several other forms of neurodivergence), routine and expectations are very important. When things deviate from routine or expectation unexpectedly, this can cause a major mental and emotional meltdown due to the different structure and wiring of the brain. A well known example of this is the character Sheldon from the sitcom Big Bang Theory. We witness him experience a meltdown if someone shifts the living furniture a little bit to the right or if the friends have tacos for dinner on a Thursday instead of Chinese. For a neurotypical, these can seem like small, miniscule events, and it can be fairly simple to change gears/adjust expectations. But for a neurodivergent, whose brain places great stock into systems and rhythms, a simple spontaneous deviation can send the brain and the body into a panic; triggering a meltdown. We can see Uncle Joe begin to experience a meltdown after he sees the empty toast without the PB&J. The toast is a key indicator of what is supposed to happen next, and Joe can categorize the events of dinner into this pattern so he knows what to expect. But when there is a delay in the PB&J being spread onto the toast, Joe begins to panic, because this was not a part of the expected routine. A simpler way to think about this is swimming at the beach. A neurotypical brain spends most of it's time near the shore, about knee deep. This allows the neurotypical to change gears at a moment's notice with little effort. A neurodivergent brain, one with ADHD or ASD, spends most of its time chest deep, sometimes even fully submerged. So, when all of a sudden the tides change or the temperature of the water changes, the brain cannot simply adjust, since it is so deeply entrenched already, so it understands it is drowning and sends the panic signals. I can say a lot more about this, but I'll leave my soapbox at this for now. For the record, I do not have ASD myself, nor am I extensively knowledgeable in behavior health or mental disorders. However, I do have diagnosed ADHD, and both my partner and my brother have Autism Spectrum Disorder, so I have a decent amount of personal experience. That being said, if I have anything incorrect, please let me know! Again, a truly beautiful episode and I am so blessed to have been able to enjoy Bryson's wisdom this round! Thank you :)

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths” which speaks volume with Lewis being hung up on all the rejection and his mistakes. He didnt take them as a learning process or a way to grow. I too sometimes get hung up on the past, when I in reality should either learn from it or move forward.
