Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: More Genius from Pixar Comment: The geniuses at Pixar have done it again with this extremely cute, touching, and socially conscious movie. Wall-E--short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class--is an adorable, vaguely ET-like robot whose job is cleaning up trash by pressing it into cubes. Since the future Earth he inhabits has been rendered uninhabitable by enormous garbage heaps, Wall-E has only a cockroach for companionship; all humans have fled the planet on "space vacations" and have remained in space for 700 years. In the course of this long absence, they have grown used to an effortless yet artificial existence and have forgotten all about their once-beautiful home, but a miraculous discovery gives Wall-E a chance to bring them back. One of the most unique accomplishments of this movie is the characterization and animation of Wall-E. Although he is very much a robot, Wall-E endears us with his very expressive and human mannerisms. He is full of robot wonder at the things humans have discarded, adding his favorites to a collection, and he falls in love with another robot, EVE, who visits the planet in search of signs of life. What is especially impressive is that all of this takes place with very little dialogue. Throughout the movie, Wall-E only learns to utter a few words, but he still "says" very much. Beneath the cute love story is a message about the effects of unbridled consumerism. Not only has the planet been overrun with waste, but the space-vacationing people have been made so lazy by technology that they are morbidly obese and unable to get out of their hover chairs. As their spaceship (owned by the mega corporation Buy 'n' Large) runs on autopilot, they simply sit and float, scarfing down food shakes from the Regurgitated Food Buffet and chatting via video screens. So wrapped up are they in these activities that they forgo not only exercise but any sort of interaction with each other. This is yet another wonderful family movie from Pixar. No matter your age, it is impossible not to fall in love with Wall-E and with this magical film. Customer Rating: Summary: If robots can love then so can you! Comment: Leave it to Pixar to make us fall in love with a trash compactor robot. Wall-E is innocent and adorable, his obedient ways break your heart and instantly draw you in. The movie is exciting and funny, morale of the story is: get off your lazy behinds and take time to smell the roses. And more importantly to love and care for our planet because taking it for granted could lead to devastating results. Animation is riveting. A must have for all! Customer Rating: Summary: AMAZING STORY & ANIMATION Comment: Wall-E is wonderful. Amazing story line, little words are needed to get the message across. Companionship, being resourceful, environmentally conscious, having hope to be something better than where we came from. Everyone should see this movie at least once, even if you aren't big on anime. Its in the level and up there with Spirited Away and Cowboy Bebop. Customer Rating: Summary: Score One More For Pixar Comment: Pixar has done it again, the love able Robot Wall-E can now be yours on DVD. I highly recommend this DVD, if you're a movie, disney, or pixar fan I definitely say buy the three disc DVD. The second disc of this edition contains some great special features not included on the single disc. "The Pixar Story" is an incredible documentary on the development and creation of this incredible animation studio. This is a great DVD for all ages. Customer Rating: Summary: Best Film Oscar for 2009? Comment: Wow. I was lucky enough to see this at a screening in Pixar studios, and now I've just bought the DVD and watched it again. Wall-E harks back to the days of the silent movie, when dialog was not used as a substitute for story unfolding visually, and it succeeds triumphantly in reeling in the audience. Not only is the central relationship both touching and funny at the same time, it's founded in a very dark future where humans have trashed the earth and live lazily on an off-planet ship. To succeed in combining these plotlines shows how mature Pixar has become in creating compelling stories, and making movies that both kids and adults both enjoy. This is Pixar's best film to date (not that any of their previous movies have been anything less than outstanding), and it speaks to their remarkable talents that the 5-minute Presto short before the film is more entertaining that most live-action films have been this year. I think this is also Pixar's most technically advanced animation to date, in terms of simulating camera moves, lighting and art direction from live action science fiction. If you haven't see Wall-e already, this may be the best $15 you spend this year! (PS - As an aside, Ben Burtt is a very nice guy - the BURN-E noise is an electric shaver and the laser gun effects were made using a Slinky. :-)) More Reviews
