One of the many reasons as to why I love Franny from Meet the Robinsons so much is because of how she is a perfect representation of the idea of becoming the kind of person you wish you had in your own life.
I feel it is pretty safe to assume that Franny didn't have many friends growing up, specially because of how she acts when Lewis meets her back in his own time towards the end of the movie.
She seems more than used to people not believing in her ideas and is quick to assume that Lewis will think she is crazy like most people do, so it is very likely the other kids at school either avoid her or make fun of her.
And Future Franny giving Lewis that one 'little tip for the future' before he leaves to go back to his own time kind of reaffirms this in a way.
I've seen a lot of people assume that Franny telling Lewis that βshe's always rightβ is just a 'happy wife, happy life' joke but I don't think that's the case. I think that what Franny meant to do with that piece of advice was to tell Lewis to have faith in her, to take her ideas seriously even if they don't make much sense in the moment and to never disregard them even if they turn out to be mistaken because there could be something to be learned from them.
She remembers how much that validation of her ideas from someone else meant to her back then, after being made fun of and called crazy by everyone else for so long. To Franny, Lewis was probably one of the first people, if not the first, to actually believe in her, which we of course know is because he KNOWS for for a fact that she can indeed make her dream of teaching frogs music a reality, he's seen it after all.
And so, Future Franny being such a warm and welcoming person, who always makes it a point to make sure everyone feels safe, loved, and like they belong every time we see her on screen, is all the more meaningful because she knows both how much it hurts to be cast aside and be made fun of for simply being one's self, and how much it can mean to have somebody else accept and believe in you you, so she decided to become that somebody for others. And that kind and loving person that she ended up becoming...
Unknowingly helped the boy who would end up meeting her younger self at that science fair believe in himself and his future, and soon enough, he would do the same for her.
TL;DR: Everybody, be like Franny, be the kind, supportive person you wish youβd had in your own life.
Also, originally this started out as a reply to @xskywalker21 's post about Franny lore but it got so long it kind of became it's own post. So shout out to her for constantly reminding me how much I love Franny.
