MEET THE ROBINSONS: A QUICK FAMILY WHO'S WHO

He believes his only chance is to find his real mother, so he invents the Memory Scanner, a machine that will extract his only memory of her.

WILBUR ROBINSON is a mysterious stranger from the future whose biggest flaws - se-confidence, cocky attitude and fast-talking banter - are also his greatest assets. They enable Wilbur to stay one step ahead of his adversaries.
