Director Andrew Stanton and the team that delivered Finding Nemo help Pixar knock another one out of the park with their latest movie detailing the adventure had by an extremely lovable robot named WALL-E. In the film, we see that humans created so much trash on Earth that it can no longer sustain life and a plan was hatched that had the human race take a vacation into space. During this time away, a troop of robots called WALL-E’s (Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth class) will clean up all the mess we made and upon completion, we can return to the planet and do it all over again. The problem is that we never came back, and for some reason, the clean-up initiative was abandoned, leaving Wall-E alone. For 700 years, WALL-E continues his duties, his only companion in the form of a Twinkie eating cockroach, cleaning up the mess we made.

Besides the retarded robots I didn't think anything was particularly funny. Sweet, adorable, definitely, but not funny.

Did you think that Kung Fu Panda was better?

I didn't enjoy Kung Fu Panda in the least. It was standard Dreamworks fare which never fails to disappoint me.

Wall-E looks to be the much better of the two films.

Really good. Kung Fu Panda surprised me a lot.

I agree that it was not horrendously funny (though I've been told my sense of humor is too dry so that could be why) but I went to this movie to see the love story between these two robots and it delivered that in spades. It was very sweet. Some kid humor, which I don't find funny but the kids did and thats what is important. The funniest part, to me, was the mouse gag and some of the computer humor put a smile on my face. I was also very impressed at the story they crafted around this. You know, for a movie like Indy 4 to be as heavily guarded as it supposedly was when it comes to plot, I sure as fuck didn't know anything about Wall-E before I went in the theater (and I knew about the Indy alien plot like... 2 years ago when I read Darabont's draft). I figured it was going to be two robots screwing around on Earth and playing grab-ass in space and I got something bigger than that. I also really liked the whole Fred Willard thing, which some people seem to have problems with. It just shows how the human race was a completely different beast all those years ago compared to now. Where were they going to find a huge cast of... huge humans?

If a Mac and a PC can fall in love, why can't we all just get along?
