Wall-E



For a child this was a very good movie. There was a cute story of two robots falling in love. That was too cute. Then there was the space ship with the fat lazy people riding around in hover lounge chairs talking and shopping on screens in front of their faces. When they try to walk for the first time, they look like big babies. That part of the story is cute. The part that the kids probably won't get is the preachy part. The earth is overrun with garbage because people buy so much stuff that they then make so much trash the world is covered with it. I'm sure the kids don't get the "green" of the movie. But for adults, it is kind of like a lecture.

Over all, it was worth the mattinee price. We'll probably buy it because the robot story was so cute. If it helps the future leaders of the world recycle and look around their environment and take notice of the world, than the not so subtle message will work. :)
