I was amazed by WALL-E. Not only was it adorable (as Pixar films always are), it had a deeper message than I expected. It also featured a sweet love story between two adorable robots. WALL-E features gorgeous animation, lovable characters (well, the robots anyway), and is a film that can be enjoyed for numerous reasons by people of all ages.
WALL-E begins with a look into the terribly polluted Earth. We watch Wall-E, an outdated robot designed to clean up the mess, and his insect friend as they go about their daily, lonely business. We learn that Earth became so polluted that a world leader sent every human into a space ship for a five year "cruise" as the robots cleaned up the planet. One day, Wall-E discovers a newer, more advanced robot. Her name is Eve. The two robots develop a relationship. But when Eve discovers plant life, she is forced to return to her spaceship as she was given a "directive." We then follow Wall-E as he tries to go with Eve and we discover some distasteful things about the planet along the way.
WALL-E is easily one of the best films of the year. It has now topped my list, beating The Dark Knight for first place right now. There are many elements that make WALL-E great. The characters are sympathetic, the message is simple but important, and it features brilliant animation. There's not a lot of talking throughout the film, but this hardly weakens it. If anything, we're better able to capture the loneliness that Wall-E suffers on a regular basis because of it. WALL-E can be enjoyed by everyone: children will love the cute robots, adolescents will be amused by certain quirks, and more mature viewers can appreciate the message presented. WALL-E is getting a lot of praise as being one of the best Pixar films and this is definitely deserved. This is a film that will stand up with the best of them.
10/10
