Movie Review: WALL-E

"I don't want to survive, I want to live!"

Visually it is all Pixar. As for its humor, WALL-E is a cross between classic slap-stick and modern satire. The story is pretty heavy for a children's cartoon, weighed down by its sci-fi roots (that it wears on its sleeve) and dystopian setting; however, many of the depressing back-story hints and elements are so subtle that they will fly over most kids' heads. But the moral is surprisingly uplifting, and the characters are delightful. I loved it.

Look familiar?
