(worth renting but not paying to see it in the theater) I think the best feature of the movie was that most of it lacked dialog.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, I didn't think it was going to be a popular movie since I thought it would offend overweight people and consumers. Like you guys, I was surprised by who was sending such a message (that I actually agree with). At the same time, I felt they could have been more creative. After all, the time period was 7,000 years after the world was covered in trash. But perhaps they were trying to keep it simple.<BR/><BR/>I also found the movie racist. This was a problem with Earth and yet nearly everyone on the ship was white. (very US-centric and not even accurate)<BR/><BR/>Overall I don't regret seeing it. I just wish I had waited to rent it.Larissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11497176158971158841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832486.post-32117759260210189612008-07-09T13:50:00.000-04:002008-07-09T13:50:00.000-04:00Thanks for mentioning my review.

I'd say the merchandising is already happening.<BR/><BR/>-Matt BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832486.post-35057109267611880152008-07-08T19:23:00.000-04:002008-07-08T19:23:00.000-04:00We enjoyed the show as well.

It seems as if most kids (in their 20's and younger) are part of the ME generation. This movie highlighted that for me. Technology removes them from having to physically interact with another human being. We went camping and my niece and nephew brought: cell phone, personal DVD player and IPOD with earbuds. Now how is that for interaction?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832486.post-54661546857111932492008-07-08T14:11:00.000-04:002008-07-08T14:11:00.000-04:00Shane and I saw Wall-E over the weekend.

We certainly enjoyed it, but I couldn't help but notice this wasn't your average Pixar movie.<BR/><BR/>I think you're right--the filmmakers weren't intending to be explicit with the "your consumerism is destroying the planet" message. But still, it was there.<BR/><BR/>And the people in space who were too large to walk? Yikes. <BR/><BR/>Not really sure how the B n' L would be able to fund all of those things for 700+ years, especially if the citizens aren't earning a wage.<BR/><BR/>But anyway.<BR/><BR/>Lots of interesting things to think about! I wonder how many Wall-E products we'll see in stores.Kaciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068520824047487960noreply@blogger.com
