Just saw the newest Pixar film to grace theaters, chronicling the tale of the last working compactor droid on a garbage and pollution plagued Earth. I for one was thoroughly charmed by the mainly mute cast.
WALL-E has an inquisitive personality, as seen in the many trailers, and while he doesn't change very much over the course of the film, it's not him who really needs changing, but the remnant, pudgy, microgravity/lethargy stricken human race and robot servants, nearly all of whom are woefully ignorant of their surroundings, floating along in reclined seats and nearly incapable of walking when removed from them, and none of them who seem to even remember their homeworld.
My favorite character in the film was EVE, the sterile white spheroid probe with an LED face and limbs which seemlessly mesh with her body. She's always a treat to watch, whether she's becoming frustrated and single handedly bowling over several beached oil tankers with her relatively tiny cannon, or displaying large "0 0" shape eyes as she's flabergasted by WALL-E's foreign, or inappropriate actions, or simply giggling with a kind of adoribility I've yet to see in any animate object prior to this, or even trying to teach learn more about WALL-E and meanwhile teach him how to say her name with an unexpectedly clear voice.
As to the plot, well, what can I say? It's Pixar. And while it didn't have quite the explosive 3rd act as some Pixar films, it did manage to grip your emotions, and place some characters in such near peril that at some points you feel quite convinced that Pixar will do what it hasn't really done before, and kill one of it's good-guys (don't quote me there, I might be forgetting a film, but I don't think I am).
Well, anyone else?
