Don't you mean Jafar 1.0?

:wink:


Yeah, now that I've seen some Cobbler art, there IS a huge resemblence.

Plus I also think the blonde kid looks a lot like Dash.

Meet The Robinsons is such a bland title.

Yes, I much preferred "A Day with Wilber Robinson."

Also, it's not just bland, it's WAY too much like other titles of films.

Such as: Meet the Parents--people are going to think this is a comedy. (well in a sense it is, but that's not all it is, at least that's my impression.)


And it also heavily suggests "The Incredibles" Family in the title, futuristic-superpower-comedy-action. WAYYYYYYYYY too similar.

Title transplant! Stat! :roll:

totally... if it had a puppy biting Ben Stiler in the b*lls while he was fighting intergalactic superheros it would've been complete.

I wonder... a CGI Ben Stiller....

If you've read the front page, you'll already have noticed this, but for those who just come straight to the forum (if so, how dare you?! :x ), there's another article on the changes to the movie and a test screening.
I've said this in another forum; it's a good thing that the problems with Meet the Robinsons were dealt with in a very good way. Seeing how David Stainton behaved in pitch sessions makes me really dislike the guy even more. Just to get such a twat like that out of the building was really such a good thing (I know that he resigned, but I bet that had he stayed any longer, he would have got fired).

Yeah, what a jerk. :x

Also, didn't he put up a bunch of orange fishies (when Finding Nemo was a blockbuster) all over the Disney Feature Animation lobby? Wow, I bet THAT lifted morale. :roll:

I really enjoyed that article, BTW.

And I vote Bowler Hat Guy as the best named Disney villain EVER. ;)
