Meet The Robinsons

Post by **Jeroen** » April 6th, 2007, 2:50 pm

We don't have Disney stores over here so my mouth fell wide open when I saw one during my visit to London 3 years ago.
Till that moment I never even heard of a Disneystore.
Then the joy kicked in when I found out about the interesting books they had.

I'm not sure. However, judging from the listings at eBay, Disney Store has Tiny in two sizes: 10" (beanie) and 18".

(Silly me, for not checking ebay)

They are from The Disney Store! Ah, thank you so much, Josh!

You're welcome, Daniel!

Be sure to get the remote-control walking doris... and the big Tiny!

Oh and PV, in the original book, Lewis doesn't have a name!

I'm not sure about the remote control doris, but I'll definetly be getting one of those Tiny's!

An interesting thing is that there are two versions of the book. There's the original and there's a new edition (the one that you have PV) that was expanded for the Meet the Robinsons release.

Uncles Wormley and Orbly aren't in the original. There's no snowball fight and no dinosaurs at the pool scene.

Other than that, it's mostly the same, although in the updated version, the first line is "I'd like you to meet the Robinsons." That's not in the original.

Look closely at the details of that book.... more than a few hidden details made their way into "blink and you miss them" details in the movie.

Yeah, I knew I hadn't found the original book because of the "Now a major motion picture from Disney" stamp on the cover. That, and the cover art is different.

I don't know it they were in the book, but Rat Pack Frogs and a Superhero delivery guy takes a SPECIAL kind of genius....

The frogs are there, playing Jazz with Louis Armstrong and Count Basie, I think.

I don't know who's twisted idea it was to make Frankie, but that whole gag was in it from the first time any of us saw the movie. Genius!

And Art is in there... I can't recall if he's delivering pizza or not.

Uncle Art has a flying saucer in the book, but it's not apparent that he delivers pizza.

Oh and Sullivan, the other musician the frogs are performing with is Duke Ellington, not Count Basie.
