WALL•E

After seeing the absolutely stunning WALL•E, I’m definitely putting Hello Dolly on my Blockbuster queue. I caught a late showing of the latest Pixar film on Tuesday, heading in with the highest of expectations. And the movie delivered. It had everything we’ve all come to expect from Disney/Pixar films. It never ceases to amaze me how original their ideas are, how they are able to make just about anything cute, and how they continue to churn out such gems. WALL•E is a movie about a trash-collecting robot with a cockroach as his only friend. How less intriguing can a character sound? Instead, you get a character that’s so sweetly heroic that he charms himself into even the skeptic’s heart. Top-notch animation and sound design and a great love story contribute to the wonder of the film as well. Easily the best summer movie I have seen yet. How many other synonyms for amazing do I need to put into this post to convey how much I love this movie? I’m seeing it again later today, and I can’t wait.
