Amen. That pretty much says all I can say about it.
5 TIMES, and the scene [spoil]traveling to the Axiom[/spoil] still almost made me cry.
in a response to earlier posts…
[spoiler]i think auto /is/ the centre of B’n’L, and realises if people return to earth, the dependency on robots will be weakened and B’n’L will no longer have a monopoly on humankind.
not to mention auto will be out of a job (it’s not like he can exactly get out of the ship, as he’s attached to the ceiling) - it’s sort of a survival of the fittest.
continuing my thought trail - the video saying earth was too toxic. i always took that in a way that B’n’L people were too lazy to sort it out, too eager to have fun on the axiom and live a life of luxury. and the video was some sort of cop-out.[/spoiler]
also:
i found the use of the old fashioned music (hello, dolly) and etc made the opening sequence even more creepy and lonely than it would have been. the way the music slowly disappeared and morphed into this lonely, dramatic orchestra piece really tugged at the heart strings.
Finally saw WALL•E at the movies.
Brilliant, but not my favourite Pixar film. But it is still a fantastic movie and I can’t wait to see it again on the 14th.
Glad to hear you really liked it bawpcpn!
I just watched it for the first time today too and I loved it!!
In my mind, it’s fighting with Finding Nemo to gain my it’s place as my top favourite Pixar feature.(=
I’m not much for reviews, but I think I can explain it with these two words “Yappari Pixar!” My friend and I always use the expression ‘yappari’, which is japanese for ‘as I thought’ or ‘absolutely’ or ‘as expected’… etcetera etcetera, it’s kind of difficult to explain, but what I’m basically trying to say is that it’s absolutely what I expected from an animation pumped out by Pixar. The story is wonderful, the animation is magnificent, the sounds design/music compliments the visuals perfectly, and as always, Pixar tends to add a special something that makes it more than just a children’s animation.
Still two and a half weeks left till the official release, but I can’t wait to watch it again! 
What an amazing film. My head is still swimming from watching this gorgeous and touching masterpiece. If I could think of one word to describe the movie, it would be, “contradictory” (but in a good way.) A very sharp and clever film, I didn’t even notice that the first third of the movie had no dialogue. The first third of the movie was so dark, it just blew my mind that this could be a “Pixar film” or even an “animated film.” Very deep, and it deserves the nomination for Best Picture. Not too much to say other than that - I need to view Pixar films a few times before I can grasp the million different aspects of it and put it into words - right now, it’s just information overload.
the funniest part that comes to mind is when [spoil]WALL•E couldn’t figure out where to place the spork. Heheh.[/spoil]
Could you please post about this screening in the Australian Advance Screening thread (even if you think it won’t be shown outside of Brisbane.)? Thanks.
I totally agree with u on all of that, hollitree.
I posted this on my deviantArt account last month:
After the first viewing, I planned to see WALL-E once more and once more only. I’ve now seen it five times.
This is not a film that I wish to see a hundred times, fifty times, or even ten times in the cinema. It’s simply that type of movie: indescribable. When I first saw this production, I was left sitting in my theater seat with a pool of tears in my hands. It had been years since I’d poured out my emotions to that extent; not since I first saw Bambi as a child, in fact. So strong was the desire to relive that experience, that I went to see it a second time, but the tears didn’t come; nor did they make their appearance a third time, a fourth, or even a fifth. After the second viewing, I realized that I would never experience those emotions while watching that film again, and I dearly miss that experience.
Whereas Ratatouille narrated my life story, WALL-E brought me back to a hidden corner of my childhood – one that I had long since forgotten. That said, I truly believe that I would not have enjoyed this production half as much had it not been for the music. Thomas Newman’s brilliant score, particularly during the Define Dancing sequence, rendered me speechless in tongue, but oral in expression. WALL-E is not my favorite film, for nothing will ever replace my love for Ratatouille, but it did make an impact – a very deep impact…
It took me some time to become fully composed after first seeing WALL•E, but I have since recuperated completely.
In a nutshell, I have never before seen a film where I simply… don’t know what to say. To date, it is the most evocative production I have ever seen, and I still dearly miss that first experience…
Edit: The only thing I didn’t like about the film was the credits. I hated the credits. Couldn’t stand 'em, unfortunately. (heh)

I have a new adjective now : Wallextraordinary !
I think I’m more in love with Wall-e itself than the movie, I want to hug him every time I see its big binocular eyes or I heard its little “wow” or “tadaaa”… gnnnn.
Uh, and love M-O too 
How “they” did that ? In fact, I think I just love Pixar 
Walleuse - Yeah, every time I see WALL•E I just want to pick up and and cuddle him like a baby. I think the big eyes bring out the mothering instinct.
I’ve just seen Wall-E for the second time, before it runs out of theaters.
It’s the first time I’m going to see a movie twice, and +, twice in a month ! 
And I loved it, again. I’ll tell you why tomorrow, 'cause it’s 2:00 am here, and I’m very tir…zzzzz.
Here are several reviews from Sydney’s local newspapers. Generally they are full of compliments for Wall-E.
The first is from Sydney Morning Herald. I liked the second-last paragraph where he made an analogy between Wall-E and Eve’s love and the tenacious relationshop of Pixar and Disney now.
The second is from the Sun Herald (the Sunday edition of SMH). It sung many praises for this movie. Here’s some of the kudos from the piece:
The third is from the Daily Telegraph. I read their feature article (Be sure to watch their two online videos for an interview with Mr Stanton, Mr Burtt and Wall-Ehimself!) and the review on paper. I liked this quote in particular, from the review, which basically sums up what’s wrong with animation today.
The final one is from The Australian. It’s also in favour of Wall-E, and though it says Wall-E is not above “ingratiating gimmickry and cuteness”, it counterargues that:
I’ll post my own review of this magnificently stupendous film when I’ve had time to gather my thoughts. Ooh…
Thanks for those reviews, thedriveintheatre. I didn’t expect the Aussie media to “get” WALL•E as much as they did. All of those reviews a very flattering, that’s great news.
Here’s a scan from the Australian version of Rolling Stone magazine. It may be the same review from the US version of the magazine, though. I don’t come across this sort of rating too often with RS, and the review is… well, you’ll just have to read it yourself. link
And here’s the verdict from David and Margaret from At the Movies. Margaret always annoys me because she has admittedly never bought into “animated films” because she can’t get past the fact that it’s animated. In this review she even praises animation, but for the wrong reason - she should have praised the script for carrying our attention! Oh well. David has always had a similar taste as me, anyway. link
My Review…
Entertainment…9/10
Excitement…8.5/10
Storyline…8.5/10
Characters…9.5/10
Overall Rating…9/10
Overall a great film that will mark new standards for pixar feature films. A must see for the entire family and extended family.
Sorry…it’s a bit long. This is a review I wrote ages ago when I first saw the movie. There may very well be spoilers in there. So BE WARNED…SPOILERS BELOW.
Ahem…apologies for the length.
eh, I really didn’t like Wall-e that much.
please don’t kill me! xD
No one is going to kill you. THats okay if you don’t like WALL-E as much as others. Join the club.
Wall-E made me re-order my priorities in terms of favorite Pixar films. It now stands as #1, but I like them all for different reasons. Mostly, I just just appreciate the storytelling skill that has gone into Wall-E and its brethren. Working a little in the entertainment business myself, its sometimes shocking to me how people can’t tell a good piece of work from a bad. This film is so clearly superior to anything of its genre, it makes me happy just looking at a picture of the characters.
The level of attention to detail, the little inside jokes, etc. There’s not a wasted frame in the entire film.
it was a great movie . i found him very cute, hope they make a sequel
Wall E was a great movie and also i want to mention that i like the Inglorious duck shown above! that’s so funny!
