Little Wonders is a 2007 song by Rob Thomas recorded for Disney's latest animated feature Meet the Robinsons. It is the second single from the Meet the Robinsons soundtrack. It is featured on the film's soundtrack, is featured in the film itself, and has been released as a single.
So far, it has peaked at #5 on Hot AC. It debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 78 and has since made its way to number 58.[1]
Video
Two different versions of this video have been released, both of which contain various live action references to scenes in Meet the Robinsons. One version features Thomas set against various backdrops, most of which feature crowded scenes. It starts out with Rob in a rainy day in a city, singing the song under an umbrella (a reference to the film's rainy opening). The camera pans out at the chorus to show various people in the city. The next verse begins with Rob on a rooftop in the city (a reference to the building rooftop which the film's protagonist, Lewis, spent much time on and various important events of the film take place on), playing an acoustic guitar while singing, and at the second chorus, the camera again pans out to show window views of various people engaging in different activities. The bridge shows Thomas at a kids' softball game (a reference to Goob, Lewis's roommate at the orphanage who revolves around softball and is a little league softball player). A kid hits a home run ball, which carries onto a beach, and in front of a house on the coast of the beach, Rob sings the last of the song while people play around on the beach. It ends with Thomas walking off the beach into the sunset.
The second version is essentially the same, except with footage from Meet The Robinsons spliced in.
The kid that looks up at the rain and holds the hand of the girl near the end of the video bears a striking resemblance to the main protagonist of the movie, Lewis. The girl with a gallery of frogs (the younger version of Franny, the mother of Wilbur) is referenced as well near the end.
