Wall-E
A very cute film, with an excellent Pixar short at the beginning as usual. The 'message' part of it is a bit heavy-handed, and clearly is part of the 'greenwashing' of the youth, but at least I agree with the basic message: don't waste the planet with crap consumerism. Of course, as a big-budget Disney/Pixar film, it will probably generate as much consumerist crap as anything else, but that too is amusing in a Stuff White People Like #50 way. Really, any Disney film with a Peter Gabriel soundtrack is a bit over the top in the 'message' department. Perhaps the most ironic moment will come when you can buy the Wall-E DVD at Big 'n Large, um, I mean Walmart in a few weeks.
Wall-E the robot is a brilliant blend of ET and R2D2, and the most brilliant thing about the whole movie is that it probably took 5 minutes to localize it since there's so little English dialogue.
