My wife an I caught the last showing of the evening of Wall-E with subtitles at the local theater. I had been wanting to see the movie since it was released in the United States, but it came out on the same weekend as The Dark Knight, and decisions needed to be made.
I made a point to say, “We are seeing this movie as soon as we can.”
I’m so glad I did.
I loved the story. It was a dystopia, but a rather easy one for children to understand. It does the “take things to a logical conclusion” angle and projects them into the future. It’s got a lovely set of characters, and a good message for children, despite the whole “ruined world that needs to be rebuilt” idea. Leave it to Pixar to make dystopia fun.
Both my wife and I absolutely LOVED this film. We sat in the theater giggling in delight. After the film we walked home and talked about where this movie ranked on the scale of other Pixar films. We’ve seen Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, and The Incredibles together (Not interested in seeing Cars). We both liked Wall-E better than all of the other films Pixar has ever made.
