This to me in the kind of film that I prefer to watch only once in a while to keep it enjoyable to watch every time. So here's my final Pixar review # 11: WALL-E.
Plot: 700 years ago, Earth was abandoned due to too much trash. a set of robots called WALL-Es to clean up. All but one have broken down. And this one WALL-E for all these 700 years has developed a curiosity for things from earth back before humanity left. One day a ship comes to Earth dropping off a female robot named EVE. WALL-E and EVE start to take a liking to each other. But when WALL-E shows EVE a plant that he found during his work, she suddenly stores the plant inside her and goes into a standby mode. A ship comes to pick her up and WALL-E stows away as the ship leads to the main ship Axiom where the human population is suffering from bone loss and has become very obese.
Now there's a fair amount of people who don't really care for this movie because it's preachy. Well...yes it's preachy but it gets away with it, with the story, characters and all that good stuff. I mean the story is very clever even if it's preachy, the characters are VERY lovable, and the romance between WALL-E and EVE is simply adorable. The animation is also very beautiful. It's just a wonderful film that should be remembered even if we do leave Earth just the same way humans did in that movie...which I don't think will ever happen.
Characters:
WALL-E: He was awesome. Simply adorable. His voice, his characteristics, his devotion for EVE, how can you not love this little guy?
EVE: EVE was a lot of fun too. How she was the smarter one, quick-tempered and yet had this really fun side of her that makes her relationship with WALL-E go really well together.
AUTO: I thought he was a cool villain just because of his voice and his movement and features.
Music: The score was excellent. You also can easily enjoy the songs in the movie from Hello Dolly, "La vie en Rose" from Louis Armstrong and while "Down to Earth" had no chance against "Jai Ho" at the oscars, it's still a good enough song that it earned being at least nominated.
And that's my review for WALL-E. It may be preachy, but it's still a very fun film with lovable characters, a nice story, and very well done animation. It easily is one of the complete best films that Pixar has made.
So that's the end of my Pixar Marathon. I hoped you enjoyed what I had to say for all of these mostly very good films that Pixar has given us for our families and even friends to enjoy. If you want to see my Toy Story 3 review since that was done long before this marathon even started, here's a link: http://haksreviews.blogspot.com/2010/12/toy-story-3-2010.html
And here's to what's in store for Brave within the next within the next 22 days. Hope to see you then.
