Pixar genius reigns in this funny romantic comedy, which stars a robot who says absolutely nothing for a full 25 minutes yet somehow completely transfixes and endears himself to the audience within the first few minutes of the film. As the last robot left on earth, Wall-E (voiced by Ben Burtt) is one small robot--with a big, big heart--who holds the future of earth and mankind squarely in the palm of his metal hand. He's outlasted all the "Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class" robots that were assigned some 700 years ago to clean up the environmental mess that man made of earth while man vacationed aboard the luxury spaceship Axiom. Wall-E has dutifully gone about his job compacting trash, the extreme solitude broken only by his pet cockroach, but he's developed some oddly human habits and ideas. When the Axiom sends its regularly scheduled robotic EVE probe (Elissa Knight) to earth, Wall-E is instantly smitten and proceeds to try to impress EVE with his collection of human memorabilia. EVE's directive compels her to bring Wall-E's newly collected plant sprout to the captain of the Axiom and Wall-E follows in hot pursuit. Suddenly, the human world is turned upside down and the Captain (Jeff Garlin) joins forces with Wall-E and a cast of other misfit robots to lead the now lethargic people back home to earth. Wall-E is a great family film with the most impressive aspect being the depth of emotion conveyed by a simple robot--a machine typically considered devoid of emotion, but made so absolutely touching by the magic of Pixar animation. Also well-worth admiring are the sweeping views from space, the creative yet disturbing vision of what strange luxuries a future space vacation might offer, and the innovative use of trash in a future cityscape. Underneath the slapstick comedy and touching love story is a poignant message about the folly of human greed and its potential effects on earth and the entire human race. Wall-E is preceded in theaters by the comical short Presto in which a magician's rabbit, unfed one too many times takes his revenge against the egotistical magician.

 I am in love with this little guy. November 21, 2008
This film is cute. The story is fine, I think the whole "Evil Liberal Agenda" argument was more of a marketing ploy that was blown out of proportion by some.
For a film with no dialog save for "bleeps", "squibs", and "wall-e" through the firs two thirds of it, this anthropomorphic little robot is really engrossing and endearing. It's also one of the few films where a cockroach would be classified as cute.
I thing the CG is fantastic, there are points in the film where I actually forgot WALL-E was not a plastic model. The animation on EVE seems like it's from a different film and for my eyes almost 2D. I realize she is a newer robot and streamlined, still she looks 2D in a 3D world.
A digital film with a heart of gold November 21, 2008
"Wall-E," which I believe is Pixar's last film for Disney, is an absolute masterpiece -- a heartwarming, lively, funny film with a deadly serious message about the dangers of unconstrained mass consumerism, and a glimmer for hope on what may be a dying planet. You probably know the basic outlines of the plot -- Wall-E is the last of a series of small robot trash compactors. left behind to clean up Earth as the frightened remnants of the human race flee into space, to avoid the fallout from their mindless trashing of the planet. Almost by accident he catches up with the humans and finds them flabby and apathetic, each one permanently plugged into their personal entertainment/life management device, and utterly unaware of anything happening in the physical world.
What Wall-E discovers, though, is that once the people become unplugged -- or are reached out to in any meaningful way -- their humanity and compassionate spirit emerges with surprising strength. Left empty by a consumer culture that makes everything "easy," the humans are ready for real-life experience and real-life connections, and are unafraid to make sacrifices to live, rather than simply exist. The skill with which the Pixar folks tell this story -- and tell it in a way that is not noxious or saccharine -- is astounding. These artists are at the peak of their form, and seem headed for even better things to come.
As far as the reviews, etc., that found this film too bleak, or perhaps unsuitable for younger viewers, I'd say it's certainly worth a preliminary viewing by concerned parents, but it's not really as depressing or dark as early critics made out. It's certainly not as stressful a film as, say, "Little Nemo," which I do *not* find appropriate for really young viewers. It's worth previewing -- you won't regret seeing it one more time, and it will prepare you for any discussions you might want to have about with your kids about the environmental and social themes of the film. All in all, this is a highly entertaining movie with a substantive message, but it's not preachy or depressing. You'll love it.. your kids will, too.

 Entertaining, too political November 21, 2008

The movie is pretty entertaining. It's a good example of how far computer generated graphics have come.
Unfortunately the movie is weighted down by just about every political agenda in the book, from environmentalism to anti-corporationism. Messages too heavy for children. But my child enjoyed the movie for the robots none the less.
 DRM??? No wonder they offer the digital copy November 21, 2008

The movie skips and doesn't play on my computer. However, it plays on my friends DVD players but not computers. Did my research and this movie holds yet another example of DRM. Thinking on returning to Amazon since I didn't rent it. Big dissapointment to see this things on great movies. Guess I'll go back to only renting.
Other than that, the movie deserves an oscar.
LOVED IT! November 21, 2008
