Don't you mean Jafar 1.0?

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.

Nope, I mean Zig-Zag!

Jafar was Zig-Zag 2.0...

Meet The Robinsons is such a bland title.

Post by **ShyViolet** » August 4th, 2006, 7:08 pm

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!

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?!

), 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.

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.

I really enjoyed that article, BTW.

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