Meet the Robinsons

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.

Other mistake: In the beginning, when Goob falls asleep, he misses the catch, by almost a foot or so. At the end of the movie when Lewis calls out to Goob, the ball lands on his head, and drops into his hand. Since Lewis didn't alter the timeline to where Goob is standing, (as to the part of not inventing the helping hat) Goop should have been in the same spot.

Other mistake: In the beginning of the film when Lewis is dropped off at the orphanage there is a blue car parked in the background. This is the same exact car (license plate and all) that he is driven away in when adopted at the end.

Suggested correction: There are 3 options: First, it may be a car that hasn't been sold to their future owners (Bud and Lucille) since it was still in the past anyway. Second, if it is proven to be Bud and Lucille's during this time, it could still make sense, as we could see in the ending when Lewis tests his memory scanner that Mildred (or the orphanage lady) was present in their wedding. Third, it's also possible that it's just the default model for the car and we weren't supposed to see it.

Continuity mistake: During the scene where Lewis is first on the roof-top, and Mildred comes up to speak with him, the box he is sitting next to is plain wood on one side, and tallied on the other. When there is a close-up of Lewis' legs and the torn paper, when he's ripping the pages out of his book, the box has stencilled writing that is upside down. (00:06:25 - 00:18:30)

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.

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.

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.
