Wall-E

Disney Pixar - 2008

Ben Burtt, Elissa Knight, John Ratzenberger

Quite possibly the cutest Disney Pixar film in my opinion. It is far far into the future and the earth has been abandoned due to the Buy n Large company using up every viable resource. Wall-E is a little robot (who resembles Johnny 5 from Short Circuit) who spends every day crushing all the junk lying about into little cubes and listening to old musicals on his makeshift television set. One day he finds a little plant growing in a fridge and decides to give it a new home. No sooner has he taken it back to his house then an alien spaceship lands and drops off a girl robot whose directive is to find sustainable life on earth. Wall-E attempts to win her affections by showing her his new plant but unintentionally sends the pair on a whirlwind adventure full of mishaps and space travel.......

Visually very beautiful to watch, and is one I should have really seen in the cinema to fully appreciate the colours used.

There is not much talking, which might not catch the attention of a young child. This one, i think, is more for the adults...but have your kids sitting next to you, just so you have an excuse :)

10/10
