I would disagree on one thing though. We have '1' completely confirmed F here that shouldn't exist. And i'm all for removing those that are completely confirmed.

 Re: WALL-E
A for WALL-E! I had such a silly grin on my face for much of the movie. So many funny bits and "aww, shucks" bits.

 Re: WALL-E
If the Fs are in place, I can't do the top films chart, because the votes for Wall-E would be CLEARLY distorted by three people. This film could potentially surpass Ratatouille as KJ's top film

 Re: WALL-E
I've seen this three times now and it only gets better upon repeat viewings. The attention to detail Pixar put's into their films is nothing short of astounding. I mean how many other animation studio's take the time to create and shade accurate realistic looking dirt, not to mention all the other little details that really bring characters to life. I also loved how they tied in Hello Dolly I'll never watch it the same way again. Wall-E is quickly becoming one of my all time fav's.

 Re: WALL-E
Wall-E surpassed my expectations, its one of the best animated films i have seen and the best Since Nemo IMO, the film is breathtaking visually and the story very touching.

Wall-E was fantastic fun and a very beautifully crafted movie. The Mr Pink wrote: ...The attention to detail Pixar put's into their films is nothing short of astounding... I agree with you Mr. Pink. God was definitely in the details this time around. Everything down to the reflections in the glass of Wall-e's eyes. I think the only place they missed a little was Eva. She didn't seem quite as detailed as everything else. But this was minor. She was supposed to look like a sleek updated model. I genuinely enjoyed how creative they were with representing the robot movements. The story was cute, too, and I like how for the most part they conveyed the entire movie through two robots that didn't even really talk. I was getting tired of talking side-kicks Disney-style, so Wall-e's non-talking was very refreshing.

 Re: WALL-E
I'm compiling the chart right now, and I removed those three Fs personally.
The difference is between a 3.52 avg. and a 3.96 average, URGH.

I voted one of the Fs.
Well, no, I didn't, but I'm pretty sure about one or two people who actually did, heh.

 Re: WALL-E
Well, it doesn't matter if they stay or not; I took them rightly out, and that's that. If anyone's interested, the film is now at #4 for films with 10+ votes, and #7 for films with 20+ votes. The only reason why it's not #1 is that it needs more votes. I think it's just a matter of time now... viewtopic.php?p=1201233#p1201233

 Re: WALL-E
I'll drink from the KoolAid too.
It's a wonderful piece of work. It's adorable, it's funny, yes--but it's romantic, moving, thrilling and an antidote for those leery on the human spirit, even if you're a hard-hearted bastard like me.
Perfect.

 Re: WALL-E
Here's one to ponder fellow Wall-E fans. Please respond in a theory of 300 words or less.
If humans aboard the ship were too fat to even stand up, how were they still making babies?

 Re: WALL-E
I'm gonna pretty much require a second viewing, because the sound at the theater I went to kinda went to shit in the second half, with an annoyingly loud buzz going on from the scene in the broken robots place to the scene where EVE is trying to snap WALL-E out of his programming at the end (This is where it became unbearable). I'd be madder if the theater I saw it at wasn't a beautiful, independently owned theater.
But the movie itself was excellent. I don't want to give **** just yet because I kinda feel a little....underwhelmed, but I'm blaming that on the sound for now.
Now I just need my sisters to be not-bust so I can see it with them.

 Re: WALL-E
I went into "Wall-E," having fallen in love with the trailers and having seen its reviews, and prayed to dear God that it would at least come near my expectations, and possibly even match them. But effing Pixar just can't do things the way I want -- they have to go out and make a film that surpasses the highest of expectations. "Wall-E" is a masterpiece, and whether your kinda thing is "2001: A Space Odyssey" or "E.T." or "Star Wars" (or not even science-fiction at all!), this is a film that, in my opinion, is impossible to not fall in love with, or at least deeply enjoy.
The scenes on Earth at the beginning are the best parts, as foretold, and they are actually pitch-perfect. There is no comprehensible way that they could have developed our protagonist, given him such a unique and charming personality, and presented such a heartbreaking wasteland of a world any better than Pixar managed here. And when EVE enters the equation, we see even more of a character in Wall-E than we had before. It ranks among the best half hour or so of film that I've ever watched.
However, when things go into space, they don't fall apart, or even disappoint. The reason why it isn't perfect is because they must have based the film around the opening concept, and it was just too good to match. However, I think the surrounding story was pretty much as funny, romantic, and message-inspired as they could have made it without going off too far in any of those directions. Axiom is both a hilarious and depressing world, showing the direction that humanity is heading towards, yet at the same time showing the impact that something with a personality can have (as well as a number of funny, sorta-subtle references to company products we have in our lives today).
Which leads me to my next rave, and that's how Wall-E and the robots come across as being far more human than the creatures who claim that name. Wall-E is, of course, the character the film is based around, but EVE, M-O, and all the other small-time characters each add so much to the movie, whether in very small or very large ways, and you are far more interested in watching them than in the humans.
"Wall-E" is Pixar's greatest achievement, and even if I didn't think it was their best movie, it would still probably be their greatest achievement, because unlike their other movies, this doesn't have dialogue and writing (two things Pixar doesn't control) to grab your attention -- most of the film is entirely Pixar's genius at work. However, between the references to "2001: A Space Odyssey" and Charlie Chaplin alike, "Wall-E" is a movie that not only features one of the great love stories in cinema, but a very well-delivered message that comes close to hitting you a little too hard, but luckily manages to back off and let the film's sheer beauty take over the screen.
I'll need to wait until watching it at least one more time before claiming it to be Pixar's best film (ahead of both Ratatouille and Finding Nemo, which I have pretty much tied as their best work), which would then also make it the best animated film I've ever seen, but I really think that "Wall-E" is deserving of such praise. This is a movie that I know I will watch with my kids when I become a parent, and that's one high praise indeed.
I doubt I'll see a better movie this year.
WAAAAAAALLLL-EEEEE!!!
