No, adult Lewis never went to the future when he was younger. Let me explain, because time travel can get complicated😂 Think of it like a “Fixed Point” in time (I learned about this concept from the CW The Flash TV series). Basically, a Fixed Point is an event in the timeline that MUST happen, regardless of how many times someone travels through time or changes other events. The timeline will always find a way to correct itself to make sure that particular event happens.
Now, stay with me.🤚🏽
At the beginning of Meet the Robinsons, when we see baby Lewis with his mother, she hears someone sneaking around behind her. That exact moment is when the Fixed Point is established. We just don’t know who was behind her yet💯 The events of the movie actually show us an alternate version of the main timeline. Think of it like the CW Flash TV series or the animated DC movie Flashpoint. Different events can create different versions of the same timeline. For example, if Wilbur had successfully locked the garage door, there would have been no reason for him to take young Lewis back in time to see his mother. Just like the video explained, the entire chain of events that leads to that moment would never have happened. But here’s where everything comes together. When Wilbur eventually takes young Lewis back in time to see his mother, we discover that Lewis himself was the person his mother heard sneaking around behind her as a baby. In other words, Lewis was ALWAYS the person who caused that moment to happen. That’s the Fixed Point!
Now, here’s the important distinction: The version of Lewis who travels to the future and eventually goes back to meet his mother is still the same Lewis who experienced those events. He doesn’t suddenly forget that he visited the future. However, because the events surrounding him have created an alternate version of the timeline, his memories could potentially correct themselves to match the new timeline, similar to what happens in Flashpoint. After all, Goob would have no reason to travel back in time to ruin Lewis’s life if those events never happened.
