I saw WALL-E tonight. It was beautiful. Not only does the film critique our heavy reliance on developing technology, but it also provides a love story between two cute robots who mostly speak by muttering the other’s name (like reverse pokemon).
I heard somewhere that the film has a total of twelve minutes of dialogue. Pixar didn’t need dialogue. The animation was stunning. I really felt for WALL-E; I knew exactly what he was going through. The robot, while not visually human-like in any sense, was ascribed the highest level of anthropomorphic behavioral qualities that I thought possible. He becomes the cutest little metal box you’ll ever see. Go see for yourself.
