#1 in Michael Phillips’ (Chicago Tribune) Top 10!:

1. “WallE,” directed by Andrew Stanton. Considerable dread (Earth has become uninhabitable) leavened by considerable joy, in the form of a robotic waste allocator with big binocular eyes. Coming off last year’s “Ratatouille,” Disney/Pixar managed one of the great one-two punches in modern Hollywood.

  1. The Class
  2. A Christmas Tale
  3. Let the Right One In
  4. The Flight of the Red Balloon
  5. Alexandra,
  6. Man on Wire
  7. Snow Angels
  8. Still Life
  9. "The Dark Knight

And just a few hours ago, Claudia Puig of USA Today placed Wall-E in its top 3 or top 6 films. Slumdog won first place. Other top picks were Dark Knight, Frost, Milk, and Doubt. These other movies were referred to as “must-see movies”. There was some attempt to showcase the blockbusters over the art films listed, which may be the reason for the 3/6 confusion.

“The animated cautionary tale with a strong ecological message subtly blends sweet romance and an inventive adventure sage. It is on of Pixar’s best and an unqualified delight for all ages”

usatoday.com/life/movies/new … view_N.htm

A second mention by USA Today:

“Best performance by an inanimate object. Wall-E, the brave and lovable robot (voiced by Ben Burtt) is a role model for all ages: loyal, plucky, inquisitive and hardworking. He was more than just cute. Even in his relative muteness, he proved unfailingly kind and resourceful.”

So Ben Burtt wins something. Yay!

Edit: The Jan. 2 issue of Entertainment listed Wall-E as #1 !!! and 4th best film, after #1 The Wrestler, there were two reviewers and the main one chose Wall-E. Our friend and his mate were even on the front cover, but with 100 other people included. Wall-E tho, was in the front middle, next to Madonna, holding up the main sign announcing honors within. There was a famous political comedian pointing right to Wall-E, as the ONE. Note: Wall-E appears in 4 separate articles and was very confusing unless you actually buy the mag and read thoroughly.

But, when they went to the actual critics lists and did an accumulative total, on page 84, Wall-E landed in First Place, as usual with these cumulative lists.

Liza Schwarzbaum, selecting Wall-E as #1 says “Years from now- yea, unto eternity - all who love movies will rank Wall•E among the medium’s most profound, subtle, sophisticated, and gorgeously inventive specimens, ever… intertwined so elegantly to tell a story of endurance, optimism, love at first sight, ecological destruction, postapocalyptic redemption… In fact, the scope of this epic often defies the limitations of words …with great wordless stretches… Pixar… is reshaping… the structure of storytelling… And out of the bond between a machine built for compacting trash and his egg-shaped, futuristic cohort, a modern masterpiece is hatched.”

As you guys know, tonight are the Golden Globes awards and I thought I’d let you know Andrew Stanton was just interviewed on the red carpet by TV Guide accompanied by Jeff Garlin.
Joey Fatone (interviewer) was uber excited to meet Andrew and Jeff as he expressed and he got way excited when Mr. Stanton confirmed live that John Carter of Mars will be a live-action/CGI hybrid and casting has just started.
So if you’re interested (why wouldn’t you be) turn on TV Guide channel and at 8:00 switch over to NBC for the Golden Globes.
Remember WALL•E is up for Best Animated and Best Song, let’s root for the little trash compactor!

#87

Aw… Wall-E, nor Bolt won the Golden Globe for Best Song… :frowning: Still pretty cool to see clips from the movies to the songs though. Never mind, we still got Best Animated Film to go…

#88

There were 3 song I was routing for…and all three lost. But I’ll survive.
In all honesty, I can’t tell who will win for animation. I’m rooting for KFP most of all. But a win for that, Wall-E, or Bolt will please me either way. (Even though I liked Wall-E the least out of the 3 :cry: )

#89

Congrats Wall-E!

#90

Wall-E WON!!! Stanton was awesome. “The man behind the robot… Ben Burtt.” :smiley: There’s a bored looking Depp on stage now.

#91

WALL•E gets the Golden Globe for best animated feature! Woohoo! :smiley:

#92

Wow, I didn’t see that coming! :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m glad that they used that cute clip of Wall-E’s date with Eve. The Bolt clip was pretty poignant too, where they showed Bolt rediscovering his ‘doghood’. The KFP clip was pretty funny, with Po smacking the dummy.

Selamat datang, Wayne. U Malaysian too ar?

OMG! Heath Ledger won Best Supporting Actor!

“You complete me.” This is awesome! :smiley:

#93

I sure am! Woke up unusually early this morning just to watch this…wasn’t disappointed.

I totally didn’t see that coming either. :stuck_out_tongue:

#94

Congratulations, WALL•E Cast and Crew and of course Andrew Stanton on the Golden Globe!
Next stop, the Oscars!

#95

YES! Congrats to Waltz With Bashir!
Animators! Storyboarders! Celebrate with me. We are a medium, not a genre! The more this happens the more respect we receive in the industry.

#96

YES!!!
Ladies & gentlemen, a round of applause for our Animated feature Golden Globes WINNER, “WALL•E” :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

#97

Wow! This is amazing! I can’t wait to see it, I saw the trailer and it looks pretty intriguing. :smiley: And I totally agree with that classic maxim, Haunt. :wink:

#98

WALL-E will win the Oscars best picture.

Or… Lynch mob.

I can see the headlines now: “Oscar in the trash!”

#99

You couldn’t see that coming? o_0

He died…like Elvis…Ledger will be emortolized by the public and by his fans. Every time his anme comes up in a nomination this year…if he doesn’t win it public outcry will make him win it.

That was easily predictable…easily. Typical Hollywood… :sunglasses:

#100

That was just a sarcastic reply to some perceived sarcasm. Sorry if I misunderstood / caused any misunderstandings… :neutral_face:
