WALL*E

WALL*E is a Waste Allocation Load Lifter-Earth Class, and he has spent several hundred lonely years cleaning up the earth. While sifting through the junk he has collected a few of the humans items--one seems to be a heart. When EVE a slick new robot comes to town she realizes that WALL*E has stumbled upon what may save the human race. She quickly returns to space to report her findings with one twitterpated WALL*E hot on her tail.

Loved it! Yep absolutely LOVED it! Talk about pure visual story telling. The first 20 minutes are almost completely dialogue free. Pixar did an amazing job with this one. As some one who wasn't a huge fan of Ratatouille (gasp!) I wondered if this would hold my interest for the 96 minutes (more than a half an hour shorter than the last two Pixar films)--I was more that pleasantly surprised.

Disney and Pixar of course have a history of making us fall in love with inanimate objects--but I was totally blown away with how endearing this little garbage disposal was. The CGI is so well done, the story is really just a simple love story--with some interesting political/environmental and social commentary--nevertheless so, so, SO well done. Once more I can't emphasize enough how well the story was told--and again almost all visually. There are only 5 or 6 speaking parts the rest plays out like a silent movie--visually stunning and lots of charm.

**** Oscar Worthy
