The Bad:
Plot Holes! Oh, wow, there are plot holes big enough to dive a Time Machine through. Now I'm usually pretty forgiving of this, especially for plots centering around time travel, but when I notice the problems during my first viewing of a movie and they are bad enough to throw me out of the immersive experience, then those plot holes are serious indeed. I won't spoil the movie by giving details, but I will say that you will need to work hard at not thinking too deeply into how the whole time travel stuff works for this one. Another problem is the second act of this film really drags. Our hero spends an inordinate amount of time being introduced to the ridiculous family. And it feels like the writers were trying too hard to make the family eccentric and in the end they hit a weird and unlikeable note. Finally, if you are looking for a Disney Musical – this isn't it. No one sings. Of course, for some people, that's a good thing!
The Good:
The theme of 'family' was good. The foreshadowing was excellent and made me want to re-watch this (you certainly won't catch every detail on the first run through). The villain(s) were creative and fun. The resolution felt satisfying. The art design was pretty good throughout the movie too – there were very distinct looks to the future, the 'bad future', and the tiny glimpse of the past. While not an exceptionally beautiful film, it doesn't have distractingly poor CGI either.
The Mom View:
I liked this enough to buy it, although I wouldn't necessarily suggest that for most people. I think this would be good for about an 8 year old or so. There's a short potentially scary scene, but likely on the most sensitive kids would actually get scared. There's also nothing objectionable, but the themes and convoluted time travel might confuse a younger kid. Having said that, a younger child might be more forgiving of the plot holes and enjoy the silly second act more. In my personal opinion, this would be a fun movie to talk about afterwards to see what your kids think of time travel (how it would work, what they'd do if they had a time machine, etc.). Overall, I'd say this is fun and worth seeing more than once, but it won't ever turn into a classic.

Disney tries Time Travel
Great work from Disney
One of the best movies of my childhood! 6.9 is not deserved score !!! I love this movie, it has a lot of philosophy and a good story. Teaches a lot and allows you to look at a different angle on things. A lot of positive emotions and humor
Of course, 10/10!!!
Its fun for Children's & an Inspiration for all demography :)
A movie should contain a lot of element which will push me to rate perfect 10. This movie deserved it. Why because I didn't expect it to be a much-moving movie (so, expect less). Reality Wise: The movie is unreal for most of its aspect as it uses time machine & some animals speaking but, if you watch sci-fi or fantasy movie like Interstellar/ Harry Potter, you won't be new to this concept. I'll tell you why you will still buy it. Action Wise: I mean If you like Transformers because you like action & you think of action here then sorry, wrong movie for you. Adventure, Suspense, Emotion, Dialogue, Creativity Wise: You will love the plot which goes back & forth in time. You will love how they play with the emotions. I WILL SAY THE MOVIE PLAYS WITH YOUR EMOTIONS & ALSO PLAY WITH YOUR GOALS. It will definitely inspire you with its simple but amazing quotes/dialogues. WHY ITS INSPIRATIONAL FOR ALL is because of the twist of the plot. Which most of the children won't like, but an adult would love. SO what is the twist theme? THE TWIST THEME IS THE MATURITY IN THE BOY as he grows. It ends heart-warming way. With a lovely message about Goals & tells You are the Fortune teller of your story.
