Review – Wall-E

Eh, cute. Disney/Pixar once again produce a movie that’s charming without being especially inspirational. And as usual, story and character tend to take a back seat to technical quality. The story is simple enough: a robot is charged with the immense task of cleaning up the Earth after we clog our planet with garbage and then escape in a spaceship. Along the way he develops a personality and a penchant for collecting bric-a-brac. Then a scout robot arrives, resulting in robot romance. For me the real attraction was the parade of small touches and in jokes, though some of the physical humor worked for me as well. Mildly amusing
