Good God, is anyone else capable of the CGI that Pixar is? This movie was gorgeous. This would sell me an HDTV and Blu-Ray player. I....I'm pretty much in awe of this movie.
While everybody else is talking about how great the premise was, how touching the story was, and how brilliantly humanised the lead robots were, you bring forward the complaint that the artists made the movie look so good that you weren't able to focus on all the other good parts of the movie? This movie sounds pretty fantastic.
But more importantly, did anyone else have those two twelve year old girls who kept squealing over the preview for that friggin' Chihuahua movie sitting right in front of them?
Reading this thread just makes me want to see it more, but I made plans to see it with one of my friends and she couldn't afford it, but we're still going to see it, I just have to wait until she gets back from vacation which is on the 12th. Still, I love almost everything Disney (HSM, Hannah Montana, Camp Rock etc. being the exceptions) and from what I've heard this is one of the best things they've put out in a while.

To my knowledge, up until the merger, Pixar has always created the films while Disney presented them. Disney might have more of a hand in stuff now, but Pixar is still the almost entirely responsible for these films, and it shows. The stuff they create is leagues ahead of anything that Disney puts out on it's own.
I am one of the people who when they saw the trailer for Chihuahua said several loud expletives before I remembered I was in a room full of parents and children.
My understanding is that Pixar actually has more pull over Disney films now, not vice versa. Lasseter apparently demanded a lot of changes to "Meet The Robinsons".
Damn but if they didn't ape Johnny 5 for this movie. At first, I thuoght maybe the eyes, threads and general shapes might have been inspired by Johnny 5, but Wall-E has a laser too! haha.

The director actually says that, though he didn't intentionally rip off Short Circuit, he had seen the movie and might have been subconsciously (sp) influenced by it.
... yeah. I'm going to go ahead and do what most people did and ignore the backstory because it's pretty much irrelevant to the story except insofar as it gives you a reason for Wall-E to have been alone for 700 years.
can't they all be?

no, there can be only one!
I figured either he booted into safe mode, or that Basic directives (like trash compacting) loaded first, and personality-memory just took longer to initialize.

Wall-E Is one of the most fantastic films I have seen. Not only is the lack of dialogue difficult to accomplish but to do it with robots instead of using human expressions makes it that much more impressive.
My favorite Pixar film along with Toy Story and Finding Nemo 8-) :-D, and one of the only recent films I have actually made an effort to go out to see it in the theater - within the last couple of years.
