Even though I wasn't crazy for the movie, I couldn't tear myself away. I kept watching the scenes out of order over and over until I'd seen the whole movie twice and then some. And the bonus features. The featurette on sound design for the movie and Disney's history of sound design was fascinating.
I think the thing that grabs me about the movie is how shamelessly it makes its robots emotionally accessible. While that's not very realistic, I don't see why it shouldn't be done for a family audience so we can experience what it would be like to have semi-articulate robots around with purpose and personalities that blend aspects of machines and living beings...and are our friends. Aw friends. :D
(20th Century Fox's Robots totally failed to do this, since that movie's characters are basically just humans with quirks--not different enough to be appealing.)
Seems to me WALL-E... * Is probably the only movie ever made whose main character moves on treads. * May have the cutest cockroach ever. * Has one of the best end credits sequences ever. I bought the original song by Peter Gabriel on iTunes and will think of WALL-E whenever I hear it.
