Wall-e

My wife, daughter, and I saw WALL-E last night.

I gotta say; I thought it was one of the better movies I've seen in a long time.

Like a lot of the Pixar movies - It's good for the kids, but had a lot more for the adults.

Anybody else seen it, or thinking about it?

Great movie! I can't wait till it comes out on DVD. It's a must have to add to the pixar collection.

Pixar comes up with the best characters and plot. I especially liked the short before the film.

I saw it and really liked it. Not a lot of dialog but that proved to be a creative method of causing the viewer to pay attention to the non-verbals.

The Short:

It was very creative and a little bit of a mind bender.

The moral of that story: Always feed the bunny.

I just saw it today and thought it was "ok" at best. I would have liked to have seen more story on the adult "plight" even though I got it with what was shown/told.

I have seen previews for it but haven't seen the movie yet. I was thinking of taking my daughters to see it. Is it appropriate for young children?

Yes.

I can't think of any questionable content. We took our four year old and had no regrets. There were some parts that she was a little too young to fully appreciate, but nothing inappropriate.

Wall-E is one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. 10/10
