Movie reviews: WALL-E

cockroach who hangs out with WALL-E and eats Twinkies. I find it amazing Pixar can create a character that is likable from a real life disgusting bug.

Life is pretty uneventful for WALL-E until one day a spacecraft lands and deploys EVE, a female robot who makes WALL-E swoon right from the get go. The only problem is that EVE is still a robot and not very affectionate. After searching and searching EVE becomes disgruntled and upset when WALL-E gives her the gift of life, quite literally. He hands EVE a plant that he found during his rummaging. That causes her to shut down and wait for the return ride back.

WALL-E ends up stowing away for the amazingly beautiful trip back to EVEs home, a super spaceship holding the remaining people from Earth. These humans are perhaps a glimpse into the future, as they are all overweight and absorbed into the computers that do everything for them. They float around on little hover chairs constantly glued to the TV.

But there is hope. As WALL-E courts the robot of his dreams he forces (by accident) the humans to realize that there is truly no place like home. The movie ends on a great note and I don't want to give too much away but you may just tear up with happiness.

WALL-E is a great movie for all ages, not just children. The animation is superior to anything out there. The story is unparralled to even live action films. The messages brought on by this film could, quite possible, lead to the first animated film being nominated as Best Film during the Oscars next year. The story telling is remarkable and the wholesomeness of the film is mind-boggling. If you have not seen WALL-E then I suggest that you close this window and catch the next showing. Better yet, pick up a relative or a friend and see it together because this movie truly deserves to be shared.
