Doris is the Bowler Hat Guy’s fashionable
headwear and evil partner-in-crime. Unlike her dastardly cohort, Doris
really is smart and cunning. She also has a multitude of gadgets at
her disposal to carry out her evil schemes. She has a diabolical plan
for the future and she will stop at nothing to extract her revenge on
Lewis.
Walt Disney Pictures
has just sent over a ton of character images for their upcoming animated
film Meet the Robinsons
with descriptions.
Meet the Robinsons Characters
Since Disney sent so many characters over, we had
to split them up into two separate updates. So, without further ado, here
is the first set of characters from Meet the Robinsons.
Franny is Wilbur’s effervescent mother
who has discovered a way to teach frogs how to sing and play big band
music.
Dr.
Krunklehorn is an inventor from Inventco Labs and one of the judges
at Lewis’ school science fair. Her latest invention is the caffeine
patch, which is like drinking twelve cups of coffee at once. She hasn’t
slept in days.
Buster is the family’s pet dog who wears
glasses because his insurance won’t pay for contacts.
Carl is the suave Robinson family robot, serving
the family’s every need with wit and charm. In addition, he has
the unfortunate job of constantly getting Wilbur out of trouble. Carl
also has a way with the ladies, and by ladies, we mean the dishwasher,
the coffee maker, and the teapot.
Bowler Hat Guy is shrouded in black and fancies
himself a cunning and intimidating villain, unaware of how bumbling
he really is. His evilness is deeply rooted in a childhood mishap that
has sent him on a life-long quest to regain the respect that has eluded
him for so long. When he teams up with Doris, a robotic bowler hat,
he becomes a threat to the future that only Lewis and Wilbur can stop.
Grandpa Bud may seem weird to the outside world but inside the Robinson
house, he just views life a little differently … and likes to
wear his clothes backwards while constantly searching for his teeth.
Frankie the Frog (pictured center) is the orchestra leader of Franny
Robinson’s all-frog swing band. As “the don” of the
frog gang, Frankie is the coolest in this amphibious mafia-esque gang.
That makes half of the characters for Meet
the Robinsons. Other half coming tomorrow.
Meet the Robinsons gets animated on March 30th, 2007.
