Ideally great. Maybe it's not a thrill from start to finish, and definitely not a reliable emotional roller coaster like the immortal Finding Nemo. This time it's something completely different. While children, just like before, will say that it was really cool and they will want to take the main duo home in any version, this time the parents are not just smiling spectators, but comment on their experience with remarks like "This is how everything will end up anyway" and in their thoughts, they go all the way to R.U.R. And I quietly laugh to myself and say that it really was ideally great.

I have to admit that the beginning was literally torture for me... so boring! But then we were transported aboard a ship with overweight... well, fat people. And that's where the movie kind of started for me. I most enjoyed sitting with the captain and his amazement. "What's a ball? What's a dance?" plus his first steps and the music.... this was just divine! :-) The ending is clear, Wall-E and the tough Eve end up together... "Children, you will grow plants of all kinds... pizza plants!" XoD this ending wasn't bad :-)

Great science fiction, excellent comedy, and probably the best animated family movie you’ll see this year. As is usual with most Pixar movies, WALL-E will grab you at the beginning and hold you until the end and, in the meantime, it will guide you through an incredibly sophisticated universe where each component has its place. Children will be thrilled, adults will be astonished by the incredible scenery (abandoned New York from I Am Legend gets nowhere near this) and those in between, maybe both.

Perceiving WALL-E as just a pleasant fairy tale about robots in love is a bit misguided. Pixar has its stuff down to a science. The initial retro atmosphere, the work with film references, Newman's music, the fantastic visuals, and the admittedly primitive, yet incredibly energetic story, which doesn't sell its ecological message and criticism of consumerism as cheaply as it might seem, are proof of clever creative minds that are simply good at what they do, no matter what some of the stodgy scrooges around them think. Pixar films have a heart as big as the world economic crisis and I’m happy to be entertained and moved by them again and again.

I was thinking, how is it possible to make an animated film where there's almost no dialogue, and turn it into something truly great, both in terms of storytelling and entertainment that makes the audience laugh? It indeed entertains. Both children and adults. It’s one of the most original cartoons of recent times. A film that children will love, and that also holds meaning for adults. There are interesting and memorable characters and ideas here, which are important for an excellent animated film. Moreover, it's an absolutely excellent science fiction film.
