"WALL·E", who is going to see it?
ahofle:
I also rank this movie way up there and I agree that it gets better after the first watch. I didn't think it was preachy at all.
Someone mentioned the lack of emotional attachment to the characters and minimal dialog. I actually thought it was genius how they conveyed the robots emotions, especially EVE's eyes (on an arcade related note, I love the artificial scanlines!). Like when she giddily pops the bubble wrap paper, or at the end when she is distressed that Wall-E doesn't remember her. When she lights the light bulb in her hand her eyes briefly resemble a wall socket, etc. Sound effects and music were both top notch too.
Regarding the human-like traits of the robots, I assumed at least some of it was built in. For example when EVE is in the repair ward and they take her arm off and tickle her to make sure she responds with laughter.

Did you not feel sorry for the cockroach when wall-e left.
AtomSmasher:
I saw this on dvd a little while ago and I'd say it was pretty good. It is a bit preachy, but not overly so. I wouldn't consider it a must see or even close to Pixars best, but it is worth seeing.

Heh. Did I ever post a pic of my kids halloween costumes this past year?
