Wall-EEEEEE!!!

Yay Wall-E! One robot really can save us from ourselves - I love robots! And cockroaches make such loyal companions - yay cockroaches. Humans are not too bright but they at least want to change.

That trite summary aside, Wall-E is one of the best animated movies I have seen in a long time. It is beautiful and it can get its message through loud and clear without too much dialogue. Indeed, it takes quite some time before there is any dialogue at all and it's wonderful. It also has such a warm heart to it and it doesn't talk down to its audience - kids will think the robots are cute but adults will enjoy the intelligent humor and message. With all the loud nonsense there is on the screen right now (read about Wanted et. al. below), it was so nice to be able to sit in the theater and truly have fun. Just skip the name brand actors, the loud action, the crude comedy and head straight for the only film that will stay with you for longer than five minutes - go see Wall-E.
