Wall-E

Disney-Pixar’s latest creation is Wall-E, and like Nemo, I didn’t give it much credit when it came to the previews. I think what they spend on animation they deduct from advertising, so maybe with better commercials a lot of people would actually make it to the theater instead of relying on the DVD or TV versions. Once again I was greatly mistaken. Although I do admit the beginning felt long and a little hopeless, it picked up and left me wanting more. Wall-E is a little robot left on earth to clean away the garbage left behind after the destruction of the planet due to pollution. The great thing about this movie is that it can capture so much emotion with virtually no dialogue, relying mostly on robotic bleeps and tones. Nonetheless the love story between Wall-E and Eve, a futuristic robot sent to earth on a mission to see if any life has started to grow again, is sweet and needs no words. Not only is Wall-E’s little adventure exciting, the bleak view of the future of mankind as well as the message the movie is trying to teach us make this an instant classic.
