History TearJerker / MeetTheRobinsons

* [[spoiler:Lewis tries to fix the PB&J maker and it explodes]]. The family responds with "You failed! And you did it so magnificently!"
* During the credits when they showed a quote from Walt Disney, the whole "Keep moving forward." is tear inducing.
* Also touching is when, [[spoiler:after the battle with the T. rex]], Lewis says, "Wow. You all risked so much for me," and the family responds, "Of course we did. You are one special kid."

* When [[spoiler:adult Lewis/Cornelius says that out of all of his world-changing inventions, the memory scanner is the one he's most proud of]].
* The Walt Disney quote at the end that fades out to simply, "[[ArcWords Keep moving forward.]]"
** Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We '''keep moving forward''', opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

** What hit me was the tone in which Lewis says "You lied to me?" It could be described as a hiss almost but instead of making him sound angry, he sounds legitimately and truly hurt at being ''used'' by someone he obviously had come to consider a friend and the fact that this comes after the "Guess we make a pretty good team."/"Yeah...guess we do..." exchange makes it hurt worse. Anyone who has ever felt used (legitimately or otherwise) by someone they considered a friend can totally relate.

* The finale when [[strike:Lewis]] Cornelius is brought into his room, and you can see in his eyes the realization: ''This is where I belong. Everything from here on out is going to be all right.''
** Happy tears, it goes without saying. It's enough to pull any lost, forgotten, or downright blue nerd out of their funk.

** Lewis' snarl of "No one wants me! My own mother didn't even want me." It really makes you want to hug the poor kid.

--> '''Carl''': Haha! Look at that, boys! [[KilledMidSetence We're almost home fr—-]] (''[[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath harpoon through the chest]]'')

* "Mr. Steak, you're my only friend": If you don't feel sorry for the kid after he says that and hugs the steak like it's his teddy bear, you are one soulless monster.

* [[spoiler:One punctuation mark: "?"]]

** If Lewis' snarl of "No one wants me! My own mother didn't even want me." doesn't make you want to hug the poor kid, you have no soul.

* Also the scene early on when Lewis is angrily explaining to Mildred why he's a lost cause: he's already failed 124 adoption interviews (and was keeping track) due to prospective couples being put off by his zealous enthusiasm for science. To make matters worse, he's almost thirteen, [[TruthInTelevision and he knows it's damn near impossible for teenagers to get adopted]]. At this point, he's given up on finding a new family and has resigned to just aging out of the system alone.

** Mildred's reaction to finding out he's been keeping track. She starts off telling him that he's obviously exaggerating in a playfully affectionate tone to trailing off in a deeply sorrowful voice when he shows her his tally.

* Wilbur fading from existence because of Doris tampering with the past.

* That moment when Lewis's hat comes off and the Robinsons realize that they can't keep him. They also can't tell him why. So Lewis gets rejected by the first people who have accepted him without question and he doesn't understand why.

** Not to mention [[spoiler:Goob's reaction when he learns that Doris was using him the whole time. "I thought Doris was [[IJustWantToHaveFriends my friend]]...]] ''Awwww.''

* That of-the-blue moment when Lewis, Wilbur and Carl are running away from Bowler Hat Guy and Doris, and the pair catch up.
