"WALL-E" Pops

"WALL-E" ***1/2 (out of four): "WALL-E" is truly a masterpiece of animation. If only live-action films were as thoughtfully and beautifully executed.

This was a neat movie...

but it was NOT a kid's movie. I swear, unless they hand out Cocain laced popcorn before the movie begins people will be trying to crush their heads with the seats because...

Everything is nothing ness, and we are all destined to become 4k lbs whales floating in Space.

enjoy!

Saw WallE yesterday with my 6 year old, and we loved it. Pixar has again created a layered movie that gives both the kids and adults something to think about on their own level. The second half of the movie could have been nothing but a lot of cynicism and irony for the adults, but they told a story and the irony and cynicism evolved into something better: Good Satire.

It was a good, gentle, funny movie that didn't talk down to you, and while there were definite ET moments, they didn't feel manipulative, again, just a natural evolution of the story.
