WALL·E 2008

"WALL-E" starts out as a practically silent film with a little robot on cleanup duty on a totally polluted Earth. His daily routine is part work and part play as we find that he basically treasure hunts as he performs his tasks.

There are some funny early moments thanks to a little cockroach and a moment when Wall-E tries to decide if a spork is mostly spoon or more fork. The isolated robot makes the most of his time until a spaceship lands and changes his future forever.

This movie is expertly done the animation jaw-dropping; but the last 2/3 of the movie is pretty ordinary. It makes no attempt to conceal its contempt for consumerism which flies in the face of the toys fast food and other "product" tie-ins that it will make tons of money from. It also carries with it an environmental message that isn't too heavy-handed until you think about the fact that Wall-E exists because humans have trashed the Earth making it unlivable.

There are some cute characters and some stunning visuals but this isn't as good of an effort from Pixar as past films like "The Incredibles", "Toy Story", or "Monsters Inc.".
