Let's talk about Brad Bird's highly anticipated Disney film 'Tomorrowland.' Does it hit the spot for the retro Disney fan? We took the kids on the last day of school, and here's our initial reaction! While there is praise all around for for Raffey Cassidy's robot girl Athena, we felt the rest of the film was a mixed bag. Listen and see what an 11-year-old boy, a 7-year-old girl and their parents think about 'Tomorrowland!'
