Meet The Robinsons was aired on free-to-air TV here in Australia last night and I thought it was well done. I can understand how adoptive parents would feel offended by the suggestion that they're rejecting the main character - but when you're an orphan who keeps getting turned down after an interview (124+ times), that's what it feels like. Some very good dialogue about the main character's feelings about being relinquished, desire to search for his b-mom, etc; At one point, the main character says to his friend, something like, "you don't know what I've lived through".
