I saw the trailers for this and was immediately interested. A Pixar film about robots in the future? Yeah, sure! Bring it on!

Wall-E is a waste management robot left on Earth to clean up the mess leftover. During his time there, he has befriended a roach, built massive skyscrapers from the small blocks of garbage he has compacted, and collected a wide assortment of interesting objects left behind (a spork, lighters, and a copy of "Hello Dolly").

His life changes when EVE, a life-detecting robot, is left on Earth to find any life. Eventually, the two fall in love, but then EVE is whisked away to her ship when a plant is discovered. The two then have to convince the overweight human crew to go back to Earth and finish the clean-up process.

What is there not to like about this film? The visual effects are gorgeous. Dirt looks real. Wall-E looks like he might even run today. And this is only just two of the many, many beautiful details in the movie. I enjoyed how the first part of the movie has no talking (thanks to Ben Burtt of Star Wars fame), just watching Wall-E as he worked and discovered new objects (a paddle ball, a rubic cube, etc.) and how he meets EVE. The chemistry between EVE and Wall-E is very emotional--I never thought it would be possible to cry over two robots being separated, but I did! The story is superb. Yes, there is a message of humans destroying the Earth. Yes, there is a message against consumerism. But these messages are soften when the humans realize how important other beings are, how beautiful the beauty of nature is, and how much they want to return to their home and change their ways.

Wall-E is a movie that I think everyone can enjoy. It is adorable, it is mesmerizing, and it is spellbinding. After seeing all the other Pixar films, I loved this one the most. Definitely worth seeing.
