Wall E

Wall-E was sooo cute!! I thought he was going to die, and was on the verge of tears. Damn hod old am I?!?! After Finding Nemo and achieving underwater graphics, Wall E was another very visually stunning Pixar production set in space. I love Pixar, their animations always have very smooth colouring and texture transition giving a warm hue that makes one feels all happy inside :)

I always find it amazing when the idea of speech is substituted by visuals. Most of the characters in Wall E do not have actual human voices, but instead communicate with body language and robotic sounds that resemble voices.

There is actually a lot to think about in Wall-E, and it looks to have flagged many commentaries from the commentators. The obvious ecologically minded agenda was said to be leftist propaganda about the evils of mankind; the idea the corporation & government unilaterally provided its citizens with everything they needed, and this lack of variety led to Earth’s downfall; parallels to Pareto's idea of 'brains in vat' and not being able to see beyond; idea of steering children clear of obesity; reducing human overdenpency on machines...the thoughts go on...

Kyle smith, author and columnist for New York post, wrote that in depicting humans of the future as "a flabby mass of peabrained idiots who are literally too fat to walk", WALL-E was darker and more cynical than any major Disney cartoon he could recall. He compared the humans in the film to the patrons of Disney World, adding, "I'm also not sure I've ever seen a major corporation spend so much money to issue an insult to its customers".

Funny huh?!!
