User reviews 1. Top review. Shame on me for ignoring my own rule of thumb and slurping up so many of the gushing reviews for Wall-E. My expectation was somewhere around Pluto, but this only managed to take me to Saturn. Normally, Saturn would warrant a rave review, but not when a film falls somewhat short of that ever-so-high bar you've set for it! Don't get me wrong. Pixar has hit a home run with Wall-E. They just did not hit one out of the park, as so many others would have you believe.
The movie really does work on just about every imaginable level. The Pixar animation team most certainly outdid themselves, taking CGI to an impressive and breathtakingly realistic new level for Wall-E is, at times thought-provoking, ironic, laugh-out-loud funny, poignant, entertaining, and perhaps, somewhat romantic.
Yes, all of this with a highly original story line and offbeat musical accompaniment. Those elements which are borrowed from other movies are at least incorporated with a fresh twist. Wall-E most definitely has its shortcomings: A little over the top at times in the "Gee, aren't we just the cutest on screen Bots you've ever seen?
There are also a couple occasions where the substitution of dialog for assorted sound effects becomes a bit tedious. Fortunately, the movie is very low key as regards the results of long term ravaging of the environment, not at all in-your-face as so often is the case with movies made in the recent years. In any case, please, simply put aside the reviews and just watch Wall-E, hopefully, leaving your expectations behind.

Both were seen before in Boo's room in Monsters, Inc. Maybe she traded them for some shiny new braces.
The city in A Bug's Life is no backwater — it's a cosmopolitan hub, don'tcha know. Look carefully among the billboards and you'll see a poster for Disney's award-winning Lion King musical. As it turns out, the gas-guzzling cars in Toy Story use the same fuel as the autonomous motors in Cars. Dinoco just so happens to be the proud sponsor of the Piston Cup. When Monsters, Inc. Lying on the floor, eagle-eyed fans might be able to spot a certain cowgirl by the name of Jessie.
Well, at least we know she gets herself a loving owner after Andy and Bonnie. Curvy caterpillar Heimlich appears twice in Toy Story 2. It comes pre-red suit during the crime-fighter's Golden Age. Wall-E was a love story at its core as the booping robot fell in love with the cold-hearted Eve.

Type keyword s to search. Pixar Disney. What jobs do superheroes go home to, what chores do they perform, how do they take care of families, how do they deal with other heroes and can superhero fatigue be self-referential as well? All these and many more questions were answered in the incredibly funny, yet judiciously mature The Incredibles. What gives when they can no longer run away from who they are?
A story about a mouse wanting to be a chef. Sure, Pixar were good at selling the ludicrous, but this would perhaps have been a step too far even for them. It was a mouse wanting to be a chef in a world where men and women did that sort of thing. How could they then pull it off? They quite incredibly did as a mouse took to the kitchen with tongs and condiments. Up is the kind of film that despite being preposterous and fleetingly nonsensical, sticks with you.

How do the two fare in a house floating with the help of balloons? Before Steven Spielberg addressed artificial intelligence through his criminally underrated A.
Woody knows his functional reality but the arrival of Buzz, a macho man with a saviour complex, threatens his rank in the house. The two lock horns, in what is often a subtle critique of quasi-masculinity in America. Not to mention the film also has the two sweetest talking potatoes around in Mr and Mrs Potato Head. Love invades the world of toys amidst a rescue operation for Woody who realises history is just as big a conundrum as the future.
Toy Story 2 raised the stakes and set the bar higher than ever before. It gave our favourite toys a mission, but it also introduced a dilemma of what must the future be anchored in — memory or imagination, old pals or new.
Woody is taken away, but finds out he has a history he never knew. What would you do if you were him? Toy Story 2 is perhaps most humanising of the three films and set on a level that neither its predecessor nor the ones that followed can possible surpass.
