Rating: G Overall rating: 2 out of 5 stars Best for Ages: 7+ Ages 3 - 7: Yellow Ages 8 - 12: Green Ages 13 - 17: Green Violence Amount: Green Violence Portrayal: Green Fear: Green Illegal / Harmful: Green Language: Green Nudity: Green Sex: Green Review: Lewis is left on the steps of an
orphanage when he is an infant. He loves to invent things. He relates
better to machinery than he does to people or prospective adoptive
parents. He enters a science fair and notices a strange boy and a man
in a bowler hat. The boy says that Lewis is in danger and whisks him
away in a time machine from the future. Lewis immediately likes the
weird family of the boy and they like him. For the first time, he feels
like part of a family. The man in the bowler hat shows up and he is
trying to hurt Lewis. This story gets a little complex for young
children. There are a lot of colors and good animation but the story is
confusing. Some children may be frightened and saddened by the mother’s
abandonment of the infant. There is also the rejection of Lewis by over
100 adoptive parents. He does learn that there are several different
types of families and that he can be happy right where he is in the
orphanage. I would recommend this movie to children 7 and older. Why
does Lewis choose to go back to the orphanage?
