Default Wall-e is awesome

Go see it! Especially if you're a sci-fi fan, it's chock full of lonely end of the world type stuff for a Disney movie.

Also the Pixar short before hand is totally a result of too many hours playing Portal.

For a Pixar movie it's downright dark.

I think it would be cool if Pixar did something not Disney. Something truly dark.

The RottenTomatos rating for it is extremely high (96%), and I have enjoyed pretty much all the Pixar movies (some more so than others).

I'll have to make sure I pay attention to the short.

Was it just me, or was anybody else turned on by that female robot. She was soft gentle and caring, but had that badass fight any bitch that tries to steal her man attitude.

I think the movie was very different. Practically no dialogue in the first half, then a political statement on humans carelessness and self-indulgence destroying the earth the second half.

Um, I think the political statement pretty much started from the first scene.

That was definitely a great movie. Worth theater fare even though it wasn't a special effects driven flick.

Every second of the whole film is a special effect.

Actually, they do use live action actors in the movie in parts.

My son, nephew, and Sister in Law went and saw it last night. I very much enjoyed the movie. We had a great time.

Eve was kind of a turn on, expecially her laser gun. I want one!

Is it me or does that little guy kind of look like a mini-me animated version of Johnny 5 in the old Short Circuit movies?! Striking resemblance!

The interview with the authors said he was mostly designed after a pair of binoculars and that the Johnny 5 resemblance was just coincidental.
