Meet the Robinsons (2007) IMDB rating: 6.80 Plot: Meet the Robinsons is filled with extraordinarily inappropriate and insensitive messages about adoption that will be disturbing to many children. The basic story is about an adorable baby whose birthmother leaves him on the doorstep of an orphanage. Portrayed as loving, sweet, extremely smart and overly appealing, he spends the next 12 years of his life wanting a family and being turned down by one family after another - in all, 114 couples refuse to adopt him. One disturbing scene shows a prospective dad losing interest in adopting the child because the youngster is more interested in science than sports. When he accidentally splatters them with food from his science project, both prospective parents walk out in a huff , leaving one very sad and disappointed little boy. Since no one else wants him, the child invents a time machine that will take him back in time to find his birth mother. The “bad guy” in his time travel journey turns out to be his best childhood buddy who was once his orphanage roommate. Now an emotional wreck resulting from being left behind when the orphanage was closed and shut down, the once-cute orphan is now mean and devious. The story continues with numerous monsters attacking the child as he continues to search for his birth mother.

Why do people say Disney's animated movies lack diversity?
If you look at where the movies are set you notice something else. They are set in:

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs = Germany
Pinocchio = Italy
Fantasia = Ambiguous
The "packaged" movies = Latin America
Dumbo = USA
Bambi = Austria
Cinderella = France
Alice in Wonderland = rural England
Peter Pan = London, England
Lady and the Tramp = USA
Sleeping Beauty = France
One Hundred and One Dalmatians = London, England
The Sword in the Stone = medieval England
The Jungle Book = India
The Aristocats = Paris, France (1910)
Robin Hood = Nottingham, England (~1100)
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh = England
The Rescuers = New York, USA (one of the characters is Hungarian)
The Fox and the Hound = Ambiguous
The Black Cauldron = Wales
The Great Mouse Detective = Victorian London (one of the characters is Scottish)
Oliver & Company = New York City, USA
The Little Mermaid = Denmark
The Rescuers Down Under = Australian outback
Beauty and the Beast = rural France
Aladdin = Arabia
The Lion King = southern Africa
Pocahontas = United Kingdom/Native American land
The Hunchback of Notre Dame = Paris, France (several of the characters are Romani (gypsies))
Hercules = Ancient Greece
Mulan = China
Tarzan = West Africa
Dinosaur = pre-historic setting of what is now Venezuela
The Emperor’s New Groove = Inca empire (now modern day Peru)
Atlantis: The Lost Empire = Island of Atlantis (characters who are Atlantean/American/French/Italian)
Lilo & Stitch = Hawaii
Treasure Planet = South-west England mid 18th century/Caribbean
Brother Bear = post Ice Age North America (some characters are Native Americans)
Home on the Range = American West
Chicken Little = Small-town America
Meet the Robinsons = America in the future
Bolt = Hollywood/New York City/Las Vegas

And the next one out is the Princess and the Frog which is set in New Orleans with African-American characters. But why are some people seriously saying Disney lacked diversity before this? Do they seriously believe that all whites are the same? Are they choosing to ignore other Disney movies with non-white characters?
@David: 0.0 I guess you’ve missed the storm that has come since the announcement of TPATF. ;D

Regarding ethnicity, I have no problems with Disney, but I have to admit that I’m not keen on the way they alter and change the original fairy tales and stories. I grew up with H.C. Andersen’s "The Little Mermaid" and the Disney version just feels wrong and in my opinion misrepresents the original fairy tale. Why even base the movie on the original story? Why not just write a new mermaid story with a happy end?

Who said they aren’t diverse?

Alice in Wonderland does not take place in England. It takes place in Wonderland. Peter Pan takes place in Neverland. Just sayin’.

What they mean is that all Disney movies use the same cliches and plot devices. They aren’t racially in- diverse, they’re cinematographically in- diverse.

Nobody said it wasn’t diverse. It’s just that they didn’t use a black person, and black people are a significant part of American History, yet we never used a black person.
