Music Video Fun
There are two different versions of the music video for "Little Wonders." Both videos include real-life scenes that remind you of moments from the Meet the Robinsons movie.
What Happens in the Video
The first version of the video shows Rob Thomas in different places, often with lots of people around. It starts with him singing in a rainy city, holding an umbrella. This is a nod to the movie's rainy beginning. As the song continues, the camera shows many people in the city.
Later, Rob Thomas is on a city rooftop, playing his acoustic guitar. This part refers to the rooftop where the main character, Lewis, spends a lot of time in the movie. The camera then shows views into windows, where people are doing different things.
During the song's bridge, Rob Thomas is at a kids' softball game. This is a reference to Goob, Lewis's roommate, who loves baseball. A kid hits a home run, and the ball flies to a beach.
