Last night (this morning) at 12:01, I went and saw Wall•e, the latest addition to Pixar’s family of animated features. To saw the least, it was amazing. The story was very clever (written of course by Andrew Stanton and Pete Docter), and made the idea of “robot emotion” seem feasible. Through Pixar’s creative use of humor and emotion, they made it possible to call an animated piece of metal “adorable”. That’s a feat in itself.
The film’s touching story was complemented by the studio’s usual ground-breaking animation techniques and of course another excellent score by Thomas Newman.
In addition to the feature, the new Pixar short showed before the film was fantastic! It was the story of a magician and a rabbit, and it was non-stop hilariousness.
I highly recommend that everyone go and see Wall•e at the next available and oppurtune moment. You’ll find a touching story, excellent animation, many laughs, a shout out to the Apple computer, a great score, and another smash-hit for Pixar.
