Has anyone watched the new Pixar film? I took a break today to go see it, and I just returned from this remarkable film. With Finding Nemo, Ratatouille and WALL-E behind their belts, Pixar is becoming a force to be reckoned with. Especially compared to the artistically devoid team at Dreamworks. Perhaps not up to Ghibli's stature yet, but a few more films of the same quality and they'll be there.
This is my review -> http://omohide.com/31/review-wall-e-by-pixar/

Yep, it's been one of the best reviewed films of the year. They're even talking about a Best Picture nomination, even though I doubt that's going to happen.
I saw a few other films that day, "Hancock" and the new Indiana Jones, and let's just say that they only made WALL-E look better.

I really liked the love story aspect of Wall-E, but I don't know, I guess I was less enamored with the dystopian stuff. Probably because I found it a lot harder to care for the human characters. Don't get me wrong, it was a great movie, but I would've liked it better had the "fate of humanity" subplot been a little more substantial.
For the love story alone, I wouldn't hesitate to place it among the best in the Pixar canon.

Looks like a good film. Not in a rush to see it but thats mainly because 2008 seems to be a good year for films. My priorities have been on Prince Caspian.

I've seen WALL-E. It was just about as awesome as Ratitoulle (hope I spelt it right) except I might like Ratitoulle better.

At the end of the day, though I loved the film, I do think that a full length film that was like the first half would have been a true classic. An animated love story with nearly no dialogue or human characters, taking place in the future, between two robots. But, I still think the film is great.

Ooh, I saw this today! Loved it. I have to admit that it is definitely much better than the other summer movies out there thus far.

Yeah I saw WALL-E and loved it!! Love the lil guy, sooo cute and funny! The special effects and animation in the movie were awesome! And the storyline is sweet. Funny how WALL-E can't say "Eve" so he says "Eva" instead!

It probably had the best animation that I've ever seen, we already knew that Pixar was the gold-standard in animation, but now they just out did themselves. Wall-E, to me, is a classic movie and I'll be the first to buy it when its released on DVD. The love story was great and the movie didn't get too preachy either. <3

Oohhh! I saw this movie the other day, and thought it was soo cute! I especially liked the novelty of it, that it was basically a silent film with not much dialouge. I was thoroughly impressed with the animation, pixar really outdid themselved this time! I actually liked it better than Ratatouille (did I spell that right?). The only bad part about the theater experience (and it was really amazing seeing it on the big screen), was that I had to go with my parents, little sister and her annoying bratty friends who didnt even want to see WALL-E (they though it was for little kids or something.) They wanted to see something else, and the whole time the movie was going on, they were whispering about the movie that they were going to see the next day. They didnt even appreciate the spectacle that was going on right in front of them. Brats. So, I was really impressed, but my family and sister's little friends were anything but. "There was no talking!" "It was just plain weird!" "Cute, but I wouldnt see it again/buy it on DVD." Stuff like that. Ticks me off. People do not appreciate the art of animated movies anymore. They think animated movie= babysitter for little kids. That's just what I think anyway. Anyways, I really liked WALL-E and think that it was one of the best computer animated movies of the year from the US. (Ponyo is the best traditionally animated! Yay, Ponyo!)

Me too. I thought the second half made it weaker. But it was still quite clever - like most Pixar films - and at times I was astonished by its audacity. In a good way. But I'm a sucker for environmentalist undertones

Wall-E and Eva create a nice non-human couple - adorable
