Likewise, the graphics and audio toe the line between intentionally simple and hastily slapped together. The still frame cutaways that appear between missions are the only unequivocally snazzy aspect of the presentation, showing Wilbur and the other characters reacting to the events of each mission. Everything else is plain by comparison. The backdrops employ multiple layers that convey a nice sense of depth, and they vaguely mimic the movie's art style, but the same tiles and structures are constantly recycled, and there's rarely anything moving in the background aside from the occasional spark of electricity. Wilbur and Lewis are large and closely resemble their movie counterparts, but their movements are jerky. Meanwhile, Doris and the other objects in the game are crudely drawn and barely animate. Watching a bowler hat hurl a bolt of electricity at you certainly doesn't induce tension when the hat just floats there and the bolt of electricity flip-flops its way toward you, alternating between the same two frames of animation. As for the audio, every stage in the game has its own individual piece of music, but each piece is limited to a simple beat or melody that loops every few seconds. You'll also hear every cheesy laser sound effect and popping noise by the time you reach the third mission.
Basically, if you're old enough to read this, you're probably too old to enjoy the GBA version of Disney's Meet the Robinsons. For better or worse, its simplistic stages and bland visuals are geared toward school-age children who haven't yet graduated to the kinds of video games made for mass audiences.
