Meet the Robinsons

Corrected entry: The first time the adult Lewis meets himself, he would have expected the kid Lewis to show up, having already experienced this meeting as a kid; this means he would not be surprised at all, but he was.

Correction: Adult Lewis never experienced this because child Lewis is changing the past by being there.

Phixius

Corrected entry: After meeting the Robinsons family, Wilbur gives Lewis a pop quiz on what he's learned. Amazingly, Lewis states the relationships of the whole family, despite never having been told them or even hinted at them. For example, he states correctly that Joe is married to Billie, even though he has never even seen them together.

Correction: He was told who was with who and what they were to another person (cousin, uncle, aunt, etc.) so he could have figured it out very easily, especially since he is a little genius.

Disney-Freak

Corrected entry: Near the ending, Lewis gets back from the past and causes Goob to catch a baseball and win the big game. Yet, the whole movie was caused by Goob from the future, angry about having NOT caught the ball. If Goob did catch it, Lewis's memory of his adventure would be gone, but this does not happen.

Correction: No one knows what would really happen if you went back/forward in time, or if someone does they arn't telling, so this could be plausable.

Disney-Freak

Corrected entry: The whole film did not have to occur. If Wilbur was really that smart, he would have gone back in time and locked his garage before bowler hat guy stole the other time machine.

Correction: He stated that he tried doing that a few times but it never worked.

Disney-Freak

Correction: DOR-15 is a sentient AI. It could probably figure it out and let him know.

LorgSkyegon

Correction: This is a baseless assertion, and therefore not a valid entry.

Phaneron

Other mistake: Right at the beginning of the movie, when Lewis's real mum picks him up from the box and hugs him, it's no more than three seconds before she hears Lewis from the future slipping on the step. She gets scared and puts baby Lewis back in the box. When Wilbur takes Lewis to meet his mum, near the end of the movie, the time his mum holds the baby is more than twenty five seconds.

Bowler Hat Guy: Now, to lure him out of the house... I know! I'll blow it up! Yes! Yes, and... uh... no... no. That won't work. Then he'll be dead. Oh, I know! I'll turn him into a duck! Yes, it's so evil! Oh... I don't know how to do that... and I don't really need a duck... this may be harder than I thought.

Trivia: In the closeups of Goob on the baseball field, there are two billboard advertisements on the fence behind him - one is "Jungle Book" featuring Mowgli with Baloo, and the other is "Toy Story 2" featuring Woody, Jessie, and Bullseye.

More trivia for Meet the Robinsons

Question: Is the dog in glasses a reference to Mr. Peabody, or just a coincidence? I thought if it was, the commentary would mention it, but there was no mention of the gag at all.

Answer: There's no indication that the dog had anything to do with Mr Peabody (especially since the dog didn't speak or do anything other than sit there). It was just a front for a throwaway joke.

GrafSpee

It's a coincidence because Mr. Peabody and Sherman was not released until 2014 and Meet the Robinsons came out in 2007.

But that film is based on the Peabody's Improbable History segment from the 50s/60s TV show The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends.
