Wall-E

Saw it.

Awesome. Fantastic. Adorable. Every positive adjective in the universe.

Best Pixar and/or Disney movie ever.

Period.

I can't wait to see it. I'm taking my son on Monday. I'm so excited!

How could you have seen it already? It's released today...

I'll be watching it this weekend. Can't wait. I love Pixars. It's funny because WALL-E was supposed to be a "smaller" film between Pixars big releases.

I loved Finding Nemo and am confident that director Andrew Stanton would bring us another classic.

I'm hearing great things about WALL*E. Of course, our little theatre isn't getting it this weekend, bastids. Instead, I have to review WANTED.

Oh, I have my methods! (Midnight showing, silly!)

Just for comparison: I do NOT like Finding Nemo.

This... Wall-E... is... BRILLIANT. I've been excited about this movie literally since I saw the first piece of artwork for it, which has got to be over a year ago. Usually that means I'm kind of disappointed because when I anticipate a movie that much it usually doesn't live up to my expectations.

This one did.

ETA: Oh, and the short little animation that they show before the start of the movie? OMG the entire theater was in stitches! Everyone burst into applause at the end. That alone was worth the price of admission, even before Wall-E.

I'm taking the kiddos to see it tomorrow. I can't wait. My 10yo is mad for anything robot. He's gonna love it.

sheadakota · Jun 27, 2008

I'm taking the kids to see this in about an hour!

WendyNYC · Jun 27, 2008

Oh good, I'm glad to hear it's worthwhile. Maybe I'll stay awake when I take my kids to the movies.

dageezer · Jun 27, 2008

I just seen it. Great film. It's the first movie I've seen in along time that I didn't fall asleep in at least once.

katiemac · Jun 27, 2008

I'm seeing it in ONE HOUR.

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

SPOILER....

Wall-E is a robot left on Earth for 700 years.

Oh, I'm so sorry. You didn't know that?

III · Jun 27, 2008

Wall-E is really dead the whole time and the story really takes place in the year 2008 but he was raised in an isolated futuristic village.

maestrowork · Jun 27, 2008

WALL-E is bald.

childeroland · Jun 27, 2008

I'm not sure why Disney's worried about the upcoming Up, since it seems there's little Pixar can't do. Wonderful film. Touching without yanking at the heartstrings, very smart and diverting.

Edit: Poor choice of words. "...yanking at the heartstrings" should read "trying overly hard to tug at the heartstrings".

You guys think you're really funny, don't you?

Dorks. :tongue

childeroland · Jun 27, 2008

Forgot to note it was funny to see everyone on the theater urging each other to pick up their garbage as the end credits rolled, which I've never seen before -- talk about a message hitting home, however temporarily.

sheadakota · Jun 28, 2008

LOVED IT!! It was beyond cute! EVE-a- Oh how sweet-

Prozyan · Jun 28, 2008

Saw it tonight at a post-midnight showing. Brilliant is perhaps the best way (and insufficient at that) of describing it.

It is one of those rare movies that all age groups will enjoy. Kids will love it today, then when they see it ten or fifteen years down the road, love it again in a totally different way.

Absolute must-see, in my opinion.

Dommo · Jun 28, 2008

Amazing movie. I'd go so far as to say it's probably the best movie I've seen in the past few years.

Izunya · Jun 28, 2008

Just got back, and . . . wow. That was well-done. It was extraordinarily cute, life-affirming, and full of Big Message—and the Big Message didn't screw it up.

Pat~ · Jun 28, 2008

Jo, I can't wait to see this (even thought Ray calls it a chick flick

). I posted a link the other day to an interview with the writer/director on this thread, if you're interested. (And, yes, Izunya, this director doesn't believe in pounding one over the head with Big Message. What a relief.)

JoNightshade · Jun 28, 2008

Fantastic article, very interesting! (I meant to post here but I ended up posting my response in the other thread... oops!)

Zoombie · Jun 28, 2008

My freinds and I were going to see it, but then the theaters were sold out.

Also, the first several lines in the trailer are pretty much the intro to my book. I was amused ^^
