Movie: Wall-E

In a marathon of moviegoing, the wife and I saw three movies today. One day and one theater complex, Whew. And Wall-E was the best.

Magical is the one word I would use to describe it (if I could use only one word. It is wonderful and awesome in the truest sense of both those words.

This is virtuoso filmmaking. Most of the beginning of the film is done in pantomime, which is not easy to do and keep your young audience interested. Pixar did it.

I never thought I'd ever be moved by the romance between two robots, but I was--and to tears even. Pixar invests more personality and characterization in all the characters in the movie than you'd see in 20 other films combined.

This movie rocked. Don't miss it while it is in the theaters, especially because there is a charming short before the feature.

  1. [this is good] I agree absolutely!  I was expecting a fun little romp, but got so much more!  And you're right about the short-- worth the price of admission on its own.
