THE MOVIE IS BETTER THAN THE FLIMSY CARDBOARD BOX IT CAME IN
Wall-E is as good as anything Pixar has done to date, even if it lacks the subtlety of previous pictures. The characters are memorable and adorable and the story is appealing to tots and parents alike. The only drawback is the flimsy cardboard case that makes you long for the old cheap Warner Brothers cardboard cases.
WALL-E PLUS the always excellent "Making of..."
Writer/director Andrew Stanton goes boldly where men and women have been longing for Pixar to go: space, the promising frontier. I can just imagine all of the beloved geeks at Pixar scrambling to get their audio/visual reference to their favorite sci-fi novel or flick onto the desktop of this film. Sitting in the theater opening night, we note that when Jim Reekes' infamous Mac start up C chord played as Wall-E recharged, the room broke into cheers and applause.
Reason # 1 to buy Wall-E: Watching this DVD gives allows us to fulfill the geek challenge -- counting the variations on a theme by Straus (Also Sprach Zarathustra) and finding the additional film cross references i.e. Star Wars, 2001, Star Trek, and even One Flew Over the Cuckoo's ... Read More
This movie gives me reason to (temporarily) end my boycott of Disney.
WARNING, CONTAINS SPOILERS!
I was amazed at Cars. After boycotting Disney movies and toys for well over a decade I broke off my boycott after reading the Cars book before the movie came out. I took the kids to see it over and over. Cars really tested audiences to see if they could be more than entertained. Cars was a think peace but not so open and in your face about it as Wall-e is.
Keep in mind I have boycotted Disney for close to fifteen years but after reading the Wall-e book can you imagine me in line for the first screening on opening day of Wall-e! There I was with my family and we were almost the first people in line. The movie was even better than the book because of the visual depictions of the polluted earth, the characters, ... Read More
Loads of fun
A+++++ This movie is one of my favorites and I would highly recommed it to anyone, kids and adults alike. Wall-e is a masterpiece and I will be watching it for many years to come!
Amazing and Adorable Movie! (A Grade)
My favorite Disney Pixar movie of all time is Toy Story and now I can say that it is WALL*E. If you enjoy the Pixar movies, you will love this movie. Even if you aren't a fan of animation, I whole heartily recommend you go see WALL*E. As an adult I was taught a lesson. When a child and adult can leave a movie together and talk about the same things they watched and ask questions, that is really an amazing thing.
Synopsis: What if mankind had to leave Earth, and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off? After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL*E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE.
