…WOW. OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN. I’m having trouble finding words, and I’ll probably have more after I go see it again, but here’s what I can get out.
Despite them being meant for purchase of a kid’s ticket, the nice box office man still gave me a watch. Thank goodness for my tiny hands. XD It was clear I was THE WALL-E geek. I was first in a line of about 20 or so (it grew more after we were allowed into the theater. Heck, they were selling concessions IN THE THEATER before the thing started. I mean, in the actual theater with the screen an the seats. I wore a WALL-E Tshirt ad WALL-E jibbits on my crocs and being all blah blah blah over the watch and the giant WALL-E cardboard model in the lobby. Yep, I was clearly the crazy Pixarian there.
It felt so great entering that theater. When WALL-E first came on screen, I felt like i was seeing a old friend again, or this was the movie of my favorite cartoon or something. Yet at the same time, I was just now really getting to know it.
It was more than I had ever hoped for, yet different that what I was expecting. But I still loved it to bits.
So below is my thoughts, as least what I can remember. It’s all a big wonderful blurr right now. I’m more composed than I was. I had trouble saying anything but “oh man” on the way home.
I know it’s tempting to some of those who have not seen it, but I beg you, get off this thread. Stay away from us who are talking about what happened in the movie. Do not ruin this movie for yourself. You will regret it.
[spoiler]Yes, the sudden remembrance was a bit magic corny, but I did not care. It was too beautiful to not do. I’m gonna go with Fett’s spark theory. That scene was so incredibly beautiful. I got really teary eyed. I didn’t go all out bawling, but this is the most I can recall ever crying at a feature film. EVER. I just don’t cry easy man. And then she started humming… and then she started humming… and man… The spark kiss thing is brilliant. I’m glad they figured out something for that. I know a kiss is not th end all of a good relationship, but it can still be an important thing when used here. Then WALL-E finally comes too and is all “EVA? O.o” like “OMIGOSH SHE’S HOLDING MY HAND WUT?” Dawww.
I liked the Captain. I could really understand how he felt. I too am a dreamer who wants more from life. He wants to stand from a sloth life but needs to learn how.
Despite my usual disdain for the idea of PIXAR doing anything live action, I liked how it was used here, even though it could be seen as a bit out of place.
The scene where EVE was playing the security camera from her time in stasis lock, and she starts to realize how much WALL-E cares for her, and then the memory of the scene from Hello Dolly! comes up and she does the exact same thing WALL-E had done with his hands before…That right there melted me into a puddle. I was expecting opposites attract and I’m glad I didn’t get it, instead getting more of a “people with more in common than you’d think” thing. I loved that scene.
And when WALL-E first shows up to EVE, and she does a double take… LAWL. She gets him in so much trouble, but she still cares about him.
HA. I KNEW IT. I KNEW AUTO WOULD BE THE BAD GUY. He just has this evil thing going for him so much. XD Well, is he evil? That’s debatable, but…same diff. I was right. XD
The repair ward scene made me chuckle. It’s kinda like when your parents think you need a psychiatrist and yo don’t, so you go in and answer the questions till they let you leave. Only this time, there’s guns involved. XD (no offence to those who do need one. You’re my people. XD)
All the opening stuff and the entering space got my animation geek nuts. I was all “…WOOOOWWWWW… 
”
M-O… I love M-O. That was the best comic relief I’ve ever seen. I laughed so hard. And then when WALL-E and EVE were having a moment and he shoos all the reject bots away and leaves himself. XDDDD That was the best.
The date thing, and the tetris thing, with EVE is stasis lock… hilarious, though it was almost creepy to me. Still, weird and hilarious. XD
EVE is now my favorite PIXAR character. I found myself often more focused on her than WALL-E. She is just such an interesting character, and she looks really cool to boot.
The Hello Dolly music was so fun and unique! All the adults started laughing the moment Put on your Sunday Clothes started playing.
The space scene. I love that. And she’s just so happy she kisses him, and he’s all frozen and lovestruck. The audience started APPLAUDING. XD I loved the audience. They rocked.
The credits were so cool. I loved the 8 bit thing. M-O kept making me giggle. And then, did anybody else stay till th very end and see the BNL logo? I laughed like a maniac.
SPORK. No more needs to be said there.
I’m so glad I’ve seen 2001 a Space Odyssey. The musical nods to it were brilliant.
The opening part where we zoom out and realize WALL-E is on an entire building of trash… that was one of the most powerful shots in th film. It was like… WOW…
While debatable (maybe it’s tied with the bit from when they got back to Earth and EVE was trying to fix WALL-E), I think my favorite scene was in the garbage disposal. The little exchange about directives…oh man. WALL-E needed to learn something too through all of this; sometimes the way to love somebody is to let them go. He gave her the plant and reminded her of her job, even if it took her away from him, even if he didn’t survive… And EVE’s reply… the “No, you’re my directive now.” thing… oh wow… That was heartfelt. That rocked out loud.
Oh, and A113!!! XD Couldn’t find Pizza Planet though.[/spoiler]
I had promised myself I would do this, and I did. At the ed of the movie, I stood and clapped in an attempt to get everybody cheering. It half worked. A lot of people didn’t follow, but that was okay. It was clear it was enjoyed, and honestly, a lot of people were probably too wowed to be that excited. I know I was having a hard time getting up and clapping.
Best PIXAR movie ever. Best animated movie ever. Best movie I’ve ever seen.
Did anyone kinda cry when Wall-E got crushed and then laugh when the 2001 theme came up? It was sad and then funny and I didn’t know what to do O_o (There were several instances like that, but a good example is the very beginning. You hear the song and then see all the trash, and grin or laugh or whatever because it’s such a cheery song. Then you see the satellites and trash and you think, “Dang…” and try to frown but the song just keeps playing.)

he was all mad hahahahaha[/spoil]
