Mumsy's Movie Review Monday - Wall-E!

I don't want to survive. I want to live!

With the character of both science fiction and romance films, Wall-E is all heart.

A robot alone on a decimated Earth with the exception of a hearty little cockroach, Wall-E was given the directive to clean up.  Working diligently for 700 years, Wall-E has built a little pseudo-life for himself.  The only thing missing is a companion.

Then along comes Eve, a bright and shiny robot sent to Earth to search for plant life.  But where are all the humans?  When Wall-E follows Eve back into space, we learn what’s become of humanity.  Can the Earth, and humankind, be saved?

Similar in both appearance and charm to Short Circuit’s Number Five, Wall-E is simply the most endearing character to come along in a long time.

The film has several laugh-out-loud funny moments, as well as many tender ones.

Wall-E sends some very strong messages, but they’re presented in such a wholly captivating way that the viewer can’t help but become engrossed.  Pixar’s stellar animation and storytelling elevate this film far beyond the typical animated film.
