I hate this movie 'cause of its title, my 9yo brother and his retarded friend decided they'd say this repeatedly in the dumbest voice they could think of.

That's pretty annoying but it is seriously an incredible film. You should disregard that and go see it! I cried five times.

One of my favorite things about the film was the amazing attention paid to details and subtleties. And the idea of a film with minimal dialogue was what made me so excited for it in the first place, like last year, 'cause it's such an ambitious concept and Pixar executed it remarkably well.

Pixar is just very good at making movies. Is it true there's minimal dialogue throughout?

None for the first 40 minutes, so I've heard, and not much the rest of the movie.  There's a little bit when the humans show up, and I think the newer robots use some voice-over stuff, but by and large there isn't much dialogue.

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. It was a far, far cry from Pixar's funniest movie, but it was so beautiful and Wall-E and EVE were so incredibly emotive with just the barest minimum of dialogue. The CGI blob humans felt more out of place than the videos of real humans because the robots were just so perfect. Five stars, all the way. On par with The Incredibles, one of the best sci-fi movies ever made. This is what CGI movies are supposed to be.

I didn't think it'd be coming out for another few months. Shows how much I pay attention.

I'm mildly excited for it, though (which is saying a lot considering how indifferent I've been this summer). I'm interested to see how the whole minimal dialogue thing is.

Wall-E was really good. The end credits might have been the best part of the movie, it made me want to see Pixar do a classic 2D animation really badly.

Saw it last night. It was spectacular!! Surprisingly timely and with a very definite political and social message (rampant consumerism is destroying our society and our world). The absolute best part of the movie was before EVE even showed up. WALL-E trundling around that unbelievably gorgeous city was brilliant and woulda made me happy if it was all there was to the movie. That environment may have been the most impressive piece of animation I've ever seen. The rest of the movie was great too. It felt a tad disjointed at times but it was so endearing, beautifully animated and surprisingly relevant that any minor flaws were all but eliminated. It was hilarious too. From the twinkie like cakes that have lasted, in confirmation of the rumor, hundreds of years after the end of civilization on earth to George Willard insisting humanity "stay the course" to the brilliant, Chaplin-esque slapstick that was omnipresent, a joke rarely fell flat. I'm even considering thinking of this as not really a kids movie. Too much of it must have been over their heads but I guess (and sincerely hope) that the general message was on their level. Long story short, Disney Pixar has done it again. They blew me away with Ratatouille last year (top 5 movies of 07 for sure) and have now made what I'm considering to be my favorite movie of 08. Lets hope they keep it up, although topping this really brilliant film will be very hard indeed.

Actually, I think that, like The Incredibles before it (although I know that Incredibles wasn't Pixar's last film), ... where was I?

Oh, right.  Like The Incredibles before it, this movie is a perfect family film.  It entertains the very young without boring their parents.  Most things I've noticed are aimed at one or the other.  Try watching Thomas the Tank Engine some time.  My nephew loved it a year ago when he was two.  Perhaps that's unfair.  I remember trying to watch Voltron.  I was 20 and I recalled loving it when I was 6.  It was unwatchable.

Basically, most things intended for the young are insipid, bland, and vile to the old.  The younger the intended audience, the more insipid, bland, and vile the result.  In order to make something that's enjoyable for any audience, you have to make a product that is bland and insipid.  But when you have a little more experience, the result is deeper and more amusing.  And when you have more experience still, you get even more out of it.  Andc. andc.

In short, it's a marvelous masterpiece of entertainment.  Incredibles has the occasional joke about sex and aging that your average 5-13 year old will completely miss.  The environmental stuff and the corporate stuff in Wall-E is only there for the adults/teens.  It's good for them, it adds to the depth of the movie, but the little kids, who will also adore the movie for reasons they don't understand, will completely miss it.

For me that was my one problem with the movie, though it was a fairly small problem. With how good the visuals were, I felt that I was watching some sort of tech demo instead of watching an actual movie.

oh yeah, some Wall E easter eggs (I don't think they are too much of a spoiler, but view at your own risk I guess)

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.

In my defense it in no way harms the movie what so ever

One thing that really bugged me though, was the Axiom the only ship that left Earth?  I though they said there were more.

LOVED this film. I think Pixar may have been touched by the gods. They can do no wrong.

My favorite thing about the whole movie was how good-natured it was. It managed to bring up environmental concerns without hating on all of humanity in an "OMG-we-are-scum-and-the-world-would-be-better-off-without-us" kind of way. Few films walk the line of Fun and Meaning so carefully and manage to stay sweet in the process.

Easily the best movie of the summer/almost cried a few times/Pixar is win -- go with whatever suits you.

I thought Thomas Newman did a great job with the music, especially. With such little dialogue, it was really half the expression in the movie.

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? I almost clawed my face off, but decided that moving seats would be more prudent. They've followed me to almost every movie I've seen in the past six months in one form or another and I have decided that unless there's some serious Twilight Zone shit going on, I can't be the only one this happens to.

For me it isn't laughing girls. It's usually a group of really loud, obnoxious teenagers that think every emotional bit in a film is hilarious.
Then again, the theater I go to is in a town filled with rich children that would like to think their life is similar to that horrible show the OC.

I was actually very surprised. I went on opening night to a large, packed theater (lots of kids and teenage couples) and the theater was totally silent for literally the entire time. It was really great. It's amazing that a movie with so little dialog for could hold the attention of some many types of people.

Reminds me of when I went to see the new Indy movie. I went at midnight so there a whole bunch of fanatics in there. We lost sound 3 times, for about 5 seconds each time (though never during dialogue luckily). In those 5 seconds, the theater was filled with cries of "WHAT THE FUCK I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!"

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.

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".

Okay, time to explain the Pixar/Disney thing again:

Disney used to basically just be the distributor for Pixar, while Pixar was owned by Steve Jobs and pretty much just Pixar. However, as time went on, Michael Eisner(then CEO of Disney) demanded more and more concessions from Pixar for each contract. This pretty much pissed John Lasseter the hell off and Pixar looked to break away from Disney. However, another group of people, specifically Roy Disney, also saw Eisner as a gigantic douche who was poisoning the Disney brand. Eventually, they managed to oust Eisner and put Robert Iger in charge. With Eisner gone, Pixar returned to negotiations with Disney, leading into a merger, where Pixar became fully owned by Disney and Steve Jobs became the major shareholder of Disney (making him one of the most powerful men in America). As part of the merger, Lasseter became Chief Creative Officer of Disney, meaning that everything entertainment related has to go through him, and a special team of advisors (lead by Jobs) was made to control Disney's new direction, the first order of business apparently being "Cinderella 2? Are you people fucking high?"

The net effect is basically that Pixar now fully controls Pixar's fate, as well as partially controls Disney. Because they know what the fuck they're doing and for the past decade and a half have been the only part of Disney that has.

I saw this last night with a bunch of people my age and a couple of parents, and the general consensus is that is was fantastic. (The Chihuaha preview was horrible, but what about Bolt? Most of us were snorting with laughter through the preview. And the beginning short about the magician and the rabbit! I think it was worth admission price just for that.)

What made me a bit annoyed were the two little girls sitting behind me, who, whenever something poignant or meaningful happened in the movie, would ask loudly "What's happening, Mommy?" I was torn between wanting to strangle them, wondering why Mommy bought two little girls to a movie about robots, and marvelling at the innocence of youth.

Anyway.

One little thing that the nerds in the group loved was WALL-E's startup noise, and the bit about the spork.

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.
