Extras will include a commentary by director Stephen Anderson (with a special guest appearance), deleted scenes, a Keep Moving Forward: Inventions that Shaped the World documentary, a "Little Wonders" Rob Thomas music video, a "Kids of the Future" Jonas Brothers music video, a Family Function 5000: Family Tree Game, an Inventing the Robinsons featurette that follows the development from creation, through to the animation process and production.

CRUISING
d. William Friedkin
c. Al Pacino
release date: September 18, 2007
A deluxe edition of Cruising starring Al Pacino will be available to own also this September. The film is loosely based on the novel Cruising (written by New York Times reporter Gerald Walker), about a New York City serial killer targeting gay men in the 1970s. William Friedkin, who achieved critical acclaim for The Frech Connection and The Exorcist, directed this movie, achieving the dubious honor of having it called the Worst Picture, Worst Director and Worst Screenplay at the years Golden Raspberry Awards. Much criticism of the movie calls it homophobic, while recent critics praised the movie as a time capsule of the reaction to gay life in the pre-Aids era. Extras will include an audio commentary with the director, two new featurettes (The History of Cruising and Exorcising Cruising), and the original theatrical trailer.
