Is Wall-E for everyone? Probably not.
If you dig animated movies with lots of dialogue and plenty of over the top/zany/big mouthed characters, then this movie might not be for you.
Wall-E is pretty subtle...but oh so endearing. Here is a robot that has strolled around earth doing his robotic duties for the last 700 years, and along the way develops a "personality"...I guess you can say he's picked up some human quirks.
The movie begins in a pretty "solitary" manner (don't know what other word to use here), but it soon heads into fast paced adventure. And although the adventure is full of awe, wonder, a few odd characters, and some laughs, the story never really strays from its main theme.
And that is Love.
Yes, the movie is somewhat of a cautionary tale about the environment. However, you don't get hit over the head with this theme. It's there...but it's not lecturing you.
It's all about the Love.
For someone like me who is a bit of a mush when it comes to romance (and all that "gunk"...lol), it did manage to pull at my heartstrings. His love and affection for Eve (or Eva as he likes to call her) can actually be called inspiring. It might even touch the toughest of hearts out there...just maybe.
(FYI...saw this yesterday with my nieces and w/ Chris)
