WALL E is by far the most challenging and impressive film to come from Pixar - a studio with a very high bar for excellence in story, character development and crafting action sequences.
But WALL E is something alltogether different. It dares to show a terrifying dystopian future in which our planet is destroyed by our own inability to stop living a life of disposable pleasures... and what has ecome of the humans is even more horrible.
And agianst this is a tale with little dialog, big ideas, amazing visual storytelling and a ton of heart.
I usually HATE robot movies, becasuse the inevitably feel soulless, but WALL E has the soul of a peot, findsing beauty in the chaos and will abandon everything he knows to pursue love and companionship.
One of the very best films of the year.
That said I loved THE INCREDIBLES an TOY STORY. I wasn't so hot on A BUG'S LIFE and I disliked CARS.
