WALL·E Review

I went and saw WALL·E this afternoon. Once again, Pixar has made a movie that appeals to all ages (except bitter 13-16 year olds who are too cool for Disney/Pixar). I was debating with my girlfriend about whether WALL·E represents Pixar's best work to date. I think everyone has gotten over how amazing the animation looks, so now it is indeed the story that counts. And on that front, I think the creative team at Pixar continues to excel. I give them tremendous credit for what they've achieved in WALL·E. To make robots with vocabularies consisting of less than 10 words apiece so expressive and so evocative is fantastic. The critics have already heaped praise on WALL·E, so mine is hardly necessary. I'll leave it at that.
