Impressive Pixar

I went to see WALL-E last night. Perhaps I should first admit that I continue to enjoy Disney animated films and probably will for the rest of my life. The film is fantastic, funny, heartfelt, with the just the slightest bit of preaching (very slight--we have to take care of the planet and we should get out from behind our electronic gadgets and see things). I have yet to be disappointed in the films Pixar produces (even the short films are wonderful) and look forward to what they do next.
WALL-E is left on Earth to clean up. The planets a mess and the people have all fled to a giant space cruise ship called the Axiom to await the planet being able to support life once more. (The ship has been built by the global corporation Buy N Large, which appears to have taken over most of the world, and its global CEO is played by Fred Willard!) It's been 700 years and WALL-E is the only robot left, and his companion is a cockroach. Enter EVE, who is dropped off and continues to scan the planet with WALL-E tagging along behind her. Just when she becomes less annoyed with WALL-E and more fascinated by him, she finds what she's looking for, which shuts her down. The ship that dropped her off picks her up and WALL-E, so fascinated with EVE, hitches a ride on the spaceship and ends up on the Axiom with her. On the ship are people who are have not left their little hover chairs for, well, the entirety of their lives, and lots of robots who do things for them. WALL-E, just as he did on Earth, gets in the way. Constantly. (And is very jealous when it appears EVE is flirting with another robot.) But it's impossible not to fall under this little guy's spell, awkward as he is, who even manages to save the day. Highly recommended for everyone.
