WALL-E is the cuttest and loviest thing ever animated
No more posts against this robot, please
Wall-E does not suck! VA-QM does.
duh duh, ding! 
lol that deserves a High Five!
It makes me a bit annoyed how nearly everybody i know, bar my aunt and a friend, hates this film. If you don’t like the concept, the robots, or whatever, well fair enough, I didn’t like Inception whilst everyone thought it was brilliant so I’m not going to get into peoples throats. But when I hear comments like “I didn’t like it, it was boring because there was no talking”, then that just makes me sad. It’s all about other things, the music and the visuals. You don’t have to be a mindreader to understand what Wall-E’s thinking or feeling.
Wall-E is a film with a heart. It made me laugh, cry, smile, yell at the screen and most of all, think. It is the first Pixar film to actually make me think, you know, about what it was really about. Also, it can be percieved in different ways; a simple love story, an enviromental message, or even a religious message. A good film should do that imo. Wall-E does not suck.
Out of all of PIXAR’s films (yes including Up) I feel that WALL-E was the most poetic, sophisticated and philosophical film they ever produced. There’s very little, if any, random humor or wise cracking comments from any of the characters and all comedy is used purely to embellish the romance between WALL-E and EVE. I think that’s why most people think the film failed- they come in expecting a WB cartoon and instead get An American in Paris.
Which is strange considering how it’s preceded immediately by Presto.
My thoughts exactly!! It makes you think. About everything. And it’s beautiful. The fact that you can love a film so much without much talking (I never really got that complaint, there’s enough for me), and that they can work around it is unbelievable. I love WALL-E. I know people who hate it. HATE IT. I feel bad for them. This one girl in my class does, and we’ve gotten into a tiny little row over it, but not serious, like a fake one. Anyways. I just think it’s unfair that people don’t give it a chance
Totally agree with all 3 posts above me. Wall-E does not suck.
I agree with the person who agrees with the other 3 people. Dialogue is such a mediocre criticism for the Movie’s overrall review, it’s just the message and the emotion that actually matters. Also, how much effort they had put into making all the sounds to MAKE THAT EMOTION in the movie. Much like the many people who criticize the dialogue, i’ve criticized the graphic realism of most video games, and it gets annoying for some people who keep having to hear this from me. But, the dialogue, was quite interesting for me in the fact that it was original and creative from Pixar’s previous works. It’s what made it unique, i just hate how people can only demean it for it’s lack of dialogue, it was a stale opinion in the past and it’s still stale to this day. The Outsider, was one of the few critics who actually HAD a good opinion for the movie, which i respect, since his opinions are more proof than bias.
For some reason, I just can’t see Wall-E as animation. I watch living proof in the form of featurettes showing the Pixarians designing the movie bit by bit, yet I still visualize Wall-E as more of a live-action movie. Am I crazy for saying this, or does anybody else understand what I mean? It’s as if the emotions expressed and the deep meanings transform the computer animations into a different form of art.
Then again, if most live-action films are more 1 dimensional than most animated films, than what do we even classify as animation? 
This post bugs me a bit. You seem to be saying that animated films aren’t dimensional, but Wall-e is, so it must be live action. I’m sure that’s not what you mean, but it sounds kind of like you’re saying animation can’t be good movies, even though you mean it as a compliment.
I’m crazy. 
That’s okay. 
i heard from somewhere that the animation is so well down that it almost seems pantomime, so i think i understand at what Chuckles is getting at. Although, there are some live-action shots in the movie itself, and they were going to try to make some live-action pixar movies.
how neat!
Call me crazy, but I think I can definitely relate to this. Unlike Toy Story, Up or Finding Nemo WALL-E tries to draw a connection between its animated reality and the real world (ie having “flashbacks” with Shelby Forthright as a real human). In this sense, it’s sort of like they’re trying to say that the world of WALL-E isn’t simply an animated version of our own reality, it is our reality (or at least what it will become). Perhaps I’m thinking too deeply into this, but it’s sort of like how Matt Groening explained the distinction between The Simpsons and Futurama, where The Simpsons’ verse represents a fictional parody of our own where Futurama is instead what our world will eventually be like.
Understood and agreed! Not crazy. WALL-E seems very real to me whenever I watch, and the sense of immersion is higher than any other film that comes to mind at the moment.
Maybe it relates to earlier comments about “personality traits” on this topic. There was an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation called The Measure of a Man, centered on a legal hearing to determine Data’s sentience (or not). As mentioned by one character…does Data have a soul? In the case of WALL-E, the answer might be Yes, even if it would be hard to identify the circuits in which his soul resides.
Well, I hate to barge in and be a party-pooper but I must say that I am one of those people that dislikes Wall-E. I wouldn’t go as far as saying that I hate it or that it is Pixar’s worst film but there are aspects to it that some viewers may not find as appealing while others don’t mind. I for one can’t stand movies with little or no dialogue so that’s probably why I don’t like it. There are many possible reasons a person could dislike it though. But if you love it then that’s great! Just don’t let those hater’s comments get to you because whatever their favourite movie is…well there are probably people hating on that too!
I love Wall-E. It, in my opinion, is the highest amount of creativity Pixar ever put in a movie.
Just curious, Miss Carrera, what exactly do you not like about a film without any dialogue? I mean, all of PIXAR’s short features sans Boundin were without dialogue and those are some of the best films to come out of the studio.
Besides, it’s not like there was not talking in WALL-E. The Captain, John, Mary and Auto all spoke english while the robots spoke their own Ben Burtt language.
I’d be happy to answer you Pixar Builder. The reason I don’t like movies with little dialogue is because what I really enjoy in a movie is the relationships between characters and their emotions and personalities. One could argue that you don’t need dialogue to be able to see that type of thing but for me it makes a difference. I tend to lose interest faster without dialogue. I love hearing funny lines and such from the characters. Don’t get me wrong, the effects and stuff were really great but it’s the story that I am more interested in.
