Re: WALL•E
Quote:
[Caution: ity-bity spoiler ahead] Now that I've had a chance to digest it, one of the things that really strikes me is how Andrew Stanton was able to convey so much with "silent" dialog. Virtually all of the communication between the characters (and with the audience) is non-verbal. For now my favorite part is where WALL*E and EVE are getting to know each other and begin their relationship during her increasingly-frustrated search on Earth. I'm looking forward to finding an excuse to see it again soon. |

Pixar movie transcend their genre and rating and no adult should ever feel they have to apologize for going to see it without kids. Their movies are that good. |

I could have actually stopped right after "movies". What I really like about this movie is how strong the messages are. One hits you like a brick, but I didn't notice another one until I was closer to the end of my second time seeing it. |

Re: WALL•E
Very true. It's hard for my family to find good movies- my younger sister is 10 grades younger than me- but my whole family enjoyed it, from my grandparents to my 4-year-old cousin.

Re: WALL•E
Just got back from seeing it with my little cousins (no younger siblings for me) and it was ok. Good message and great animation. The characters are well presented but overall I'd say 7/10.

Re: WALL•E
For those of you looking for realistic Wall-E toys, a "mere" $189 (edit - $249.99 now - ah capitalism) buys you this little guy later this year.
He's so cute, ignoring his owner's commands is almost like a "feature". ![]() Last edited by Travis Hoffman : 07-07-2008 at 23:19. |

Re: WALL•E
I wonder how many times Wall-E will be featured in teasers for the upcoming season.

Re: WALL•E
Team 1675 had an opportunity to demo at a local theater on Friday night and Saturday night of opening weekend. We had the FRC robot on display only, but had a couple of smaller Vex bot, including a Wall-E lookalike, for kids to drive. We had an excellent turnout both days and had several people interested in joining local Vex leagues and wondering where they can get Vex kits for Christmas =)
I've seen Wall-E twice now and I cried both times (what can I say, I'm a sucker for robot love), but as an animator, this move is beyond amazing. I've read about how they tried to mimic old sci-fi films and certain camera techniques - they actually rewrote their animating software just for this movie to achieve the perspectives and focuses...it really is a treat. I think the thing I love most about the move, though, is how overly complex everything is (a nice commentary on the flaws of the future...and present to some degree) - pay attention to how many robots are required to activate EVE. Someone forgot about KISS in the future. |

Re: WALL•E
I was laughing when EVE was being activated....I noticed that too! Although I think "technology designed by artists" has that problem more than "technology designed by engineers". In other words, it's a movie thing.
