Teh Official WALL*E Thread

[Bick]

just saw it and was suprised how adult some of the themes were for a disney/pixar flick

  ALL of the Pixar films have had some subtle innuendos!  Some not as subtle.  Are they becoming more open?

Going to go at some point this week.

Saw it yesterday with my five year old....loved it.

Saw it! Great movie.  Pixar has an amazing ability of bringing personality into their characters. And their animated shorts before the main feature are just plain clever and brilliant. 

Made a double-feature out of it with Hancock.

I didn't think this one had innuendos, but was out right anti-walmart (large global corporations ruling the earth), and the portrayal of humans as dependent on technology to the point that ALL were morbidly obese. It was like a 'what if we keep going down the same path of excess we are on now" hypothetical.

I understand that kids don't pick up on it, but there's a lot of underlying messages / themes going on.

I enjoyed the movie.

Saw it and it rocked!

Made a double-feature out of it with Hancock. 

+1 to that!

Can't wait to see it!  Quick question...not to thread jack, but how was Hancock?

[junior varsity]

I thought Hancock was really good - like two movies linked together. i was VERY entertained.

Wall-E is now my favorite Pixar movie!     It used to be Cars, and that is a tough act to follow! 

These vignettes are really cute - Enjoy!

Bouncy Balls!!

Hancock went way above and beyond how i expected it to be.  I thought it was excellent and a must see summer movie.

The GF loved it too!

[jswledhed]

Saw it last night.  Great movie!  Its amazing they can convey the range and depth of emotion using only facial expressions and bodu positioning.  Especially when the face is little more than a pair of binoculars and the body is just a box with arms and tank treads.

Outstanding!

[Le Pirate]

Excellent movie!!!


I made sure I went to see it at a theater with a digital projector. The graphics were AMAZING! There was a shot or 2 that I couldn't believe was CG.


I liked the fact that there were some good stretches (especially at the beginning) where there was no talking in the film...I had heard some complaints about that, but I think the expressions of Wall-E more than made up for the lack of dialogue.


Plus, I really liked Pixar's little jab at our massive consumerism. I thought it was great. Plus, whats funnier than a space ship full of fat people? Nothing.

Agreed, it was excellent.  But don't think Disney/Pixar is really all that against our massive consumerism.  Just wait, come the fall all the cool kids will be sporting the Wall*E lunch box
