WALL·E

A movie about robots and emotions? Pixar has made the unlikely combo work really well. WALL·E is the lonely robot, the last of his kind, left behind by the humans on Earth. His job - to clean up the garbage the humans have dumped. In 700 years, he seams to have developed one tiny bug - a personality. Join WALL·E in his interstellar quest to find a partner. WALL·E is short, satirical, dialogue-free and a visual masterpiece. And the fact that it is animated does not make it any less watchable as an adult. It is a must watch for anyone of any age.

A must watch, will watch again, and definitely recommend for everyone, all ages. The first 30 minutes or so of this movie are pure and perfect magic. They establish the world, Wall-E, the human race with next to no dialogue. Wall-E and Eve meeting is wonderfully trip of social anxiety in different personalities and a great metaphor for living together while being different. Once on the axiom, the entire movie shifts seemlessly, and it is one heavy metaphor after the next about America and the human race without it once being the focus of the story. If you ever needed a movie that "does" and not "says", this is your example, it's how world building should be done. While I think I could literally talk about this movie for hours, I don't want to spoil anything else by talking about it here other than this is a near perfect movie to me. Watch, enjoy, be well.

Wonderful. <em>'WALL·E'</em> is beautifully made, despite a relatively simple premise and no real cast to speak of. A big reason for its charm is the strong message and adorable lead characters - WALL·E (Ben Burtt) and EVE (Elissa Knight). The run time of 98 minutes flies by, with a cool end credits coming at the conclusion. Its animation is utterly superb, while I also like the mix of real-life footage (featuring Fred Willard as Shelby Forthright) into things. Jeff Garlin and Sigourney Weaver work well in their minor roles. Not at the top of my personal Disney animated productions, but just about inside the top ten up until this point. Lovely film.
