RT Sees the First 30 Minutes of Wall-E!

Summary

RT was among a group of journalists invited to the factory that Luxo built: Pixar Animation Studios. We were given the whirlwind tour as the company winds up for its big summer release Wall-E, set to pop on June 27, 2008, and also got to see the first 30 minutes of the film. Back to Article

I'd say that WALL*E is probably the most anticipated by those of us who don't like the SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER BESTEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!

Personally, I prefer a movie with an actually story and characters I give a darn about.

I'd like to take back my comment about Cars 2. I just saw it advertised here on RT. Ugh. I don't know about that.

However, considering Cars got a 75% rating here, I don't think it was that bad. There's quite a few movies out there that did a lot worse!

Personally I agree with tabasscoman. I don't care what WALL*E looks like. This movie has had me from the first preview I saw in front of Ratatouille. I can't wait! My hubby and I are sooo going to see it opening day.

In reply to this comment (#1676520)
"Kids aren't deep enough to get imagery and symbolism as figures of speech."

What about "Tom & Jerry?" Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner? Non-speaking characters CAN be interesting and lovable. Kids are smarter than you think.

Wall-E is not an "artsy" film just because its main character doesn't speak. On the contrary, the film appeals to our most fundamental sense of perception: observation. The basis of human communication is not spoken language. If it were, then babies would NEVER be able to learn how to talk.

Watching another (person, animal, robot, whatever) as they perform an action/activity is the most universal form of understanding that we can experience. Wall-E will be heartwarming and entertaining without the usual dialogue.

I have a feeling this could be one of the best pixar movies ever. I think its geninus if the first 30 mins are in fact are without any dialouge. My favorite Pixar movie is "Toy Story", but who knows..."Wall-E" could give this a battle for #1
