But that's not the message is it, that's the setting. The message is about taking charge of your own life and not resigning yourself to the fate others put on you and of course also about taking care of the planet. You know, typical kids' movie messages.

Why would I? I'm not a kid. But if I try to judge it from a kid's perspective then I'd say it's kind of boring.

No my youngest was 9 when he saw it last year and he liked it and that was it. I usually have to buy most of the Pixars when they hit DVD but so far he hasn't asked.

Actually...shit. I liked Toy Story. But not the second, or any others!

But Toy Story was one of their first lot of movies, and then they over did story lines making them too predictable and cringe worthly.

Nemo was pretty rad, but Wall-e sucks balls, he doesnt even talk.

I don't really get how Wall-E follows the formula of other Pixar movies.

IMO the only Pixar movies I'd call good rather than great are A Bugs Life, Toy Story and Cars. The rest, Toy Story, Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille and WALL-E are excellent.

WALL-E I thought was very original for a kids film, a post appocaylptic romantic comedy starring robots that don't talk? Oh yeah. It's been done countless times.

Monsters Inc and Finding Nemo did follow the same formula as Toy Story but they were excellent regardless. I thought The Incredibles was something different for them, they have learned to be more original since then, granted Cars was a return to their old formula, But Ratatouille and WALL-E are proof that they come up with more original ideas than anyone else when it comes to animated films (except for Miyazaki of course). Up looks like it would be continuing this tradition.

Nemo, Cars, Ratatouille, Incredibles, Toy Story, Bugs Life, Monsters Inc, then Wall-E. In order from favorites to least. I own them all on dvd, my girl loves them. We also have Flushed Away and Robots arent pixar, but are great too.
