Wall-E (2008)

Sigourney Weaver provides the voice for the computer. Other than that, the only notable thing about this film is that the sound design is by Ben Burtt (of Star Wars fame), and as a result the film experience has a rich texture that you wouldn't expect from the cartoony computer-generated images. The plot itself is solidly Disney (in this case, Love Will Free You From Your Humdrum Life) but the film starts in an undeniably dystopian vision of an abandoned Earth filled with rubbish and rusting advertising hoardings for the world's last megacorporation. If you thought R2D2 was cute, you'll like this.

I didn't even realise this movie was on my list, so was a bit miffed when it arrived in the post. But i was pleasantly surprised. Normally i don't like these animated movies which are made for kids but clearly target an older audience. This is actually a very well crafted film, with little in terms of dialogue but with a poignant message and real heart.

Could not watch the whole movie - and i have to say, that's very rare. And I love "slow" movies that rely on image and other forms of comunicating rather than dialogs most of the time. I do like and get the message, but this was a very boring way to put it out there. I can't even say anything else, since I only watched half of it...

I love this movie, it has everything, is funny, is heartwarming, has action, love, suspense, great animation... & awesome extras (Burn-e is the funniest short, EVER). How can anyone write a bad review about this movie I'll never know. Kids will love it but so will adults. I bought the DVD, for myself, never mind the kids!

This is a truly wonderful film with a great and loving message for us all! I loved the Disney nods to other film greats e.g. Titanic and 2001 A Space Oddysey and the extra shorts were wonderful too. May well end up buying this as it is the classic of its kind
