That's the beauty of Pixar, behoden only to its own quality standards, it can still play the part of the child prodigy whose creative genius appears to have no boundaries.

Reviews
One of the most imaginatively made and individual pieces of work that the audacious Pixar has developed.

Praise Pixar for trying to raise the stakes, but the longer the film goes on the more one appreciates the impact of that amazing first half-hour.

It's probably not right for a greying moviegoer to love a robot, but each R2D2-type beep, rattle and eye roll makes him even more irresistible.

Oddly, the humans have a lot less personality than the machines and the more time we spend in their company, the less fun the film becomes.

It is indeed a hard movie to explain, but a good story told well transcends any age even without words.

The wit, invention and sheer charm of WALL-E will win over anyone with a heart. And maybe, given long enough, even those without.

The confidence and skill with which Stanton's team have extended the parameters of their art form are amazing.

Does Andrew Stanton's film amount to much more than a brilliant aesthetic exercise? I'm not convinced it does.

For once, the artful nods to Huxley, Kubrick and Philip K. Dick are not the preserve of trainspotters.

Another in the long line of Pixar classics -- beautiful, energetic, intelligent, satirical, crammed full of gorgeous design, and genuinely heartwarming.

It's unlikely Mr Bean inspired this tale yet there's a resemblance. WALL.E is for the most part a silent comedy dependent on ingenious sight gags.
07/17/08
WALL-E is a classic, but it will never appeal to people who are happy with art only when it has as little bite as possible.
