wall-e

i had been wanting to see this one all summer. it finally came to the dollar theater, and i knew i couldnt pass that up!
this is the latest in the long line of great pixar movies. sure, all the pixar movies are great, but i must say, this one is probably their best! set in the future, its about a cute little robot who is still doing his job even though all the humans have left earth hundreds of years ago. he keeps himself busy cleaning up all the trash left by mankind, his only friend a cockroach. one day a ship lands and a sleek new robot, eve, comes on a mission. for some reason that robot leaves again and wall-e is heartbroken (as much as robots can be, i guess). thus starts the adventure to find her back. the story is cute and fun, mostly because of the personality of wall-e. that little robot is so emotive- i bet he could even do shakespeare! there are some great laughs as wall-e finds everyday objects laying around and tries to figure out what to do with them. also, its surprisingly emotional. at one point wall-e has some problems and it seems all is lost for eve. this is a great film on par with 'finding nemo', which is saying a lot!
oh, and i always love the animated short pixar puts before their movies- this ones about a magician, a rabbit, and a pesky portal. good fun!
