Meet The Robinsons to hit the big screen on 20 April

Additionally the movie will be released in the revolutionary new Disney Digital 3D, bringing to life the state-of-the-art CG animation and presenting a glimpse into the future of digital entertainment, informs an official release.

Produced by Disney Motion Pictures, the film is being distributed in India by Sony Pictures Releasing India. It based on the book A Day with Wilbur Robinson by William Joyce, and follows the adventures of young Lewis (voiced by Daniel Hansen), a bespectacled boy whose mother left him at an orphanage when he was an infant. Being the science geek and aspiring inventor that he is, he creates a memory scanner with the hope of going back and finding his mother.

Instead, Lewis winds up in the future, having been whisked away by his new friend, Wilbur Robinson (Wesley Singerman). There, Wilbur's family of misfits and weirdoes offer to take him in. (Adam West and Tom Selleck are among the actors lending their voices, with Angela Bassett as the head of the orphanage).

According to the director Stephen Anderson, "Audiences fall in love with the good guys and the bad guys because they all connect. Meet The Robinsons has these same kinds of characters. They're fun, they're unpredictable, but they also have an aspect that is very emotional and human. I think that's what audiences expect from Walt Disney, that you're going to laugh, you might cry and you're definitely going to care about these characters. For me, I love these characters like they're my own family and can't wait to have audiences meet them."

This animated adventure grossed $7.1 million on just 581 3-D screens to become the largest digital 3-D opening in history, when it released on 30 March abroad.
