Well, not entirely. I don't have the original DVD, game (or console, for that matter), plushies and figures of Meet the Robinsons. I'm actually regretting the fact that I didn't watch it on silver screen during March 30, 2007. There was a whole bunch of MtR merchandise in the bookstore and toy stores and I just rolled my eyes on them. I deeply regret it.
My favorite character in the said movie would be Wilbur. Aside from the fact that he's comical, I find his determination to fix everything at the expense of his existence commendable. Not many people are willing to risk their lives, their very presence in a parallel world, thirty years in the future, only to keep a promise to somebody important to him.
I particularly felt proud of him when he went to the past to let Lewis see his mother; staying true to his end of the bargain. Wilbur had that look as if he was ready to give up being "Wilbur Robinson" of the future and let his existence be erased, and that shows courage beyond anything else.
"Look, I messed up. I left the garage unlocked, but I tried like crazy to fix things. But now it's up to you. You can do it, Dad."
"I never thought my dad would be my best friend."
"We agreed that.. if you fix the time machine, I'd take you back to see your mom..."
I don't usually change my wallpaper because I'm lazy like that, but Wilbur Robinson changed that.
"Stay."
"Wilbur is the son of Franny and Cornelius."
But... Wilbur Robinson is still second to Jim Hawkins. :)
