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?
