Disney’s New Future Movie

Recently, Disney released a new animated film called Meet the Robinsons. As the futurist chosen to work on the film, mostly for promotion, I had a blast. From flying cars to instant nano-buildings and genetically enhanced frogs that sing, the film is a great adventure romp into the future. I went down to the studio and was interviewed for Movie Surfers.

Of course this was pure Disney–a retro-vision of the future, with a theme about a young orphan who wants to make the world a better place in the future, and he did. The other cool fact about this film was the outstanding animation, first after the merge of Pixar and Disney, with the genius of John Lassiter on overdrive.

Also, Disney is rolling out the film this week to 700 theaters in 3-D. Somehow this retro-innovation is coming back strong. Rodriguez of Spy Kids did a 3-D film and it was a hit. This is the wave of the future 3-D Web. I think the dancing T-Rex probably deserves his own film next time. Check out the film if you have kids or not.
