Wall-E

thephotobooth [Edit] [Delete] 22:53, 18 July '08

Could possibly be my favourite cinematic love story ever...anyone else seen it yet? It's so beautifully done, the way Pixar have created the terrain of an abandoned rubbish-strewn earth, it wouldn't surprise me if it was harder to create than the sea in Finding Nemo. And aside from the general adorableness of Wall-E and Eve, it's got great sub-themes in it too - consumerism - it's set 500 years in the future, and EVERYTHING is owned by a company called Buy-N-Large.. obesity, environmental awareness, and all without being preachy. It's beautifully soundtracked, with lots of old musical numbers, and a great use of the Planets Suite in one brilliant scene. Not sure about whether it's better than Toy Story (maybe not quite), but other than that, it beats all other Pixar films hands down. And the short film at the beginning is great! Basically, even if you've never seen a Pixar film, or don't think you like these types of films at all, this could be the film to change your mind.
