Pixar's latest tale about a little robot taxed with cleaning up the world too polluted for humans is part eco-awareness, part social commentary, and all cute fun.

I took my daughter to see it last night, thinking it was another kiddie movie that I'd have to suffer through but I was pleasantly surprised. The animation is really well done and the character development is thorough. I found myself laughing out loud one minute and grinning stupidly at the sweet 'n sappy scenes the next. It finds that great balance between being safe enough for all ages to watch, but with plenty of nuances and subtle humor for adults.

Wall-E's search for meaning and love will charm and amuse you. It's in theaters now.



Have you seen it? What did you think?
