So Friday night, I walked into the theater, eager to see Wall E. From the astounding number of children there, I could tell this wasnt gonna be one of Pixar's usual gore fest, sex romp films. Nevertheless, its a cute story and little kids will love it.

The story involves a lonely little robot named Wall-E, who is the last robot on earth. Apparently the earth is now a huge toxic waste dump and Wall-E has been carefully squeezing piles of trash into compact little squares. He also collects odd little knick-knacks he finds among the rubble, listens to love songs, and watches clips of "Hello Dolly". One day, a sleek, shiny robot named Eve shows up, looking for signs of life and Wall-E falls in love (I guess hundreds of years of watching, "Hello Dolly", will do that to you).

The CG work is probably the best Pixar has done yet. Some scenes, like the early space scenes look great and while other Pixar films have a lot of clean lines, this one is appropriately gritty in places. The music is equally excellent. From the darker opening moments, to the light and airy scenes, its a perfect fit.

In case you cant tell, I loved the movie. Its a very cute story and well worth watching. It may not be everyones cup of tea though. There's very little dialogue to speak of, not that it hurts the story at all. It could be described as a sci fi comedy opera of sorts. If you like Pixar, or love stories, or just want to go somewhere air conditioned this summer, I highly recommend Wall-E.
