Humans are truly selfish creatures. With their “hit it, then quit it” mentality, it is no wonder that they\u00a0leave\u00a0the world in such a bad state\u00a0that my boy Wall E<\/strong><\/em> has to clean that\u00a0mess up. A small robot\u00a0with nothing more than mad trash-collecting skills and a friendly cockroach, he does have much to keep him entertained. But when a very unexpected and attractive visitor, by the name of EVE, comes to town the guy can’t help but get excited\u00a0because it is the\u00a0small but significant\u00a0things that drive people to keep on living. The goal of holding hands with the one he loves drives Wall E to endure EVE’s somewhat aggresive behavior. As Wall E observes her from a far distance, out of\u00a0 fear of death,\u00a0it is anyone’s guess what her directive could be.\u00a0But hope is\u00a0alive for Wall E, thanks to his\u00a0sly of wit and rosy of cheek persona.<\/p>\n I did hear alot of hype about this film from family members of all ages before seeing it. After seeing this film, I probably have\u00a0spread more hype than most people.\u00a0When you see a movie that actually\u00a0 lives up to its vast reputation, it is a rare occurrence indeed–but Wall E did just that. I have come to know that Wall E is a man of few words. But you will find that action often speaks louder than words, especially when those actions are perfomed by the robot that holds your heart and never lets you down.<\/p>\n It was only a matter of time before\u00a0I fell in love with Wall E. With great characters such as EVE, Wall E, and probably my favorite little actor by the name of MO, it was bound to leave a impression. Pixar has indeed outdone itself again. By creating another film to add to the growing list of Disney-Pixar classics, they have proven their\u00a0ability to make animation seem more real more than reality itself. They have accomplished a feat I never thought possible, because\u00a0intelligent films like\u00a0Wall E show us that animation is no longer just for kids.\u00a0<\/p>\n More impressive still\u00a0is the fact that Stanton\u00a0wrote a script\u00a0that\u00a0was touching and had an important message with little\u00a0or\u00a0no dialoge.\u00a0I remember him answering a question at the writer’s panel, stating, “If i would have actually thought about the film as a whole, instead of just bit by bit. I truly would have psyched myself out.”\u00a0\u00a0Thank goodness he didnt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Joel Pedersen. Viewed at Santa Barbara Film Festival.
