Trivia
After reading the screenplay, director Stephen J. Anderson actively lobbied to direct this movie. As a child of adoption himself, Anderson personally experienced many of the emotions (questions about belonging, being wanted, etc) that Lewis expresses in the film. [source: director's DVD commentary]

The character of Lewis was voiced by both Daniel Hansen and Jordan Fry. Daniel Hansen voiced Lewis at the beginning of the film's production, and when Lewis needed things changed, they had Jordan Fry re-dub some segments. It is noticeable in some parts of the movie.

In a scene, we find the camera cutting to zoomed-up images of the Robinson family portraits, which appear to be hand-painted. In many of those shots the signature 'Ruppel 2005' can be found, referring to Robh Ruppel, who was the Art Director of the film and was part of the Art Department in past Disney films.

Goofs
The whole evil Doris scheme and the theft of the memory machine were carried out by the adult Goob who wanted revenge because he had fallen asleep as a child and missed catching the baseball. However, when Lewis woke him up and he caught the ball that changed everything and he no longer would want revenge so he would never have time traveled in the first place.

When Wilbur throws Lewis off the roof onto the invisible time machine, Lewis falls flat onto the glass dome, complete with hollow glass dome sound effects. When the time machine becomes visible however we see that the dome was already open and Lewis actually fell onto a chair. His limbs should have stopped falling at different levels than his torso.

During the memory scanner's wedding scene, Lewis recognizes Grandpa Bud because of the smile on the back of his balding head. In the next few glimpses, Bud has no hair on the back of his head, but when they get in the car together he does.

Q
Why are two boys credited as voicing Lewis?
A
Daniel Hansen began the role. Later a lot of the movie was re-written and changed at the last minute, which meant that a lot of Lewis' lines had to be recorded again. However, by this point nature had taken its course and Daniel Hansen sounded too old to voice a 12-year-old. So they brought Jordan Fry in to record the lines they needed.
Q
Does this film take place in the future?
A
Yes. Although not mentioned anywhere on IMDb, the 30-second trailer for "Meet the Robinsons" clarifies the year 2037 as the setting for the film's "future" scenes. "Present" scenes are assumed, by extrapolation, to be 2007 (and the "past" scenes would therefore be 1995).
Q
How did Lewis get the surname Robinson?
A
Lewis, as an orphan, has no surname. Bud's surname is Robinson, although it is assumed that Lucille kept her maiden name when she married him. When Lucille and Bud adopt Lewis, he takes on Bud's surname of Robinson.
