Saw this Saturday with my date. I must say we were the majority. I noticed only a few kids in the place...
... and surprisingly it was only about a 1/3 full. Loved it. There was a lot going on at times and I'm sure I'll need to watch it several more times to catch some of the nuances Pixar placed in there. Don't know if I could really place it with a number because I do like The Incredibles and Ratatouille and a few other non-pixar films. Yet I know I'll watch this each and every time it's on. |

Saw Wall-E over the weekend, too, and absolutely loved it. I think there was more visually going on in this movie than other Pixar films, because of the limited amount of dialogue, as some things didn't register in my brain until 2 or 3 seconds afterwards.
I rank it up near the top next to Toy Story, and I might even rank it as the best, just because of the more involved story, and sci-fi being my favorite genre.

Finally got out to see this today and loved it like I knew I would. I laughed out loud when I heard the R2-D2 whistle when Wall-E turns and first sees the red dot on the ground. Also there was a short music cue that sounded very star warsish don't remember where it was though.

That's right. I saw the film opening night at a packed showing, and aside from laughter in the appropriate spots, there was remarkably little squirming and chatter from the ankle-biters around me. One little girl did say a few things like "Look, mommy, more Wallys!", but not very often. Especially impressive due to how little dialogue there was in the film.

Wall-E is an amazing film.
There is no doubt about that. In fact, it may well be one of the highpoints of animation, alongside the heights of Fantasia - AFAIK, animators have been dreaming about a full-length Hollywood movie that solely uses animation and sound (no dialogue) to push the story along for decades. And (other than the humans-on-spaceship denouement) they got it with Wall-E. And as an added bonus, it is amazingly well-received. However, as a film (and not an avante-garde film-school test pilot), I think Wall-E is not quite up to par with the majority of their past successes. It is better than Cars by a long mile, and even better than Bug's Life, but it doesn't reach Toy Story I/II, Finding Nemo, Monster's Inc, or even close to Incredibles territory. (I do reserve the right to watch and appreciate it on DVD to judge Wall-E fairly in this regard) What Wall-E has over every other film (including Toy Story I, which was all new ground) is the experimental nature of it - they truly were in command of the whole repetoire of filmmaking with Wall-E, and it showed me they can do ANYthing on film. Seriously, from dialog-less movie to simple shapes and sounds conveying emotional dialog to mind-blowing detail and realisticness (some shots looked like live action - even better (more real-looking) post-apocalyptic cityscapes than I Am Legend!) to 70's-era sci-fi to 8-bit title credits, PIXAR showed they can do anything they set their targets on. What amazed/shocked me about Wall-E is that PIXAR somehow got this 21st century, jaded society to somehow buy into a 60's-70's era scifi storyline. The solo man-out-of-time/space that encounters a different being and proceeds to be thrust into another society and affects change thru his unique perspective is almost hippy-like and AFAIK a staple of early/mid sci-fi themes. I thought they stopped making those kinds of films in Hollywood after Enemy Mine. I'm surprised Wall-E didn't die thru his sacrifice, but of course in a family movie that wouldn't do - but that's what the classic version of this story would have had, make no mistake. The wonderful thing about PIXAR and Wall-E's success is that it shows pencil-necked Hollywood bean-counters that an audience doesn't have to be treated like imbecilic short-attention-spanned plebians. Truly, a wonderful film that showed be seen, appreciated, and enjoyed by as many open-minded people as possible. ![]()

And I keep forgetting to mention Presto. I know some folks here have praised it. I thought it was 100% solid fun in the few minutes that it ran. In my mind the best short they've produced yet. |
