It seems that Pixar will be the most defining force in the history of animated movies. Every movie seems to set a new threshhold of the kind of content and emotive appeal that can be delivered through the animated medium. Wall-e is more thought provoking than say Ratatouille but far from being a grim morality tale. This is the first movie that I can think of that truly brings life to robots - does not "humanize" them in an I, Robot kind of way but gives them unique attributes. If acted out by humans this would be a truly dystopian tale, curiously enough, it is the mechanical Wall-e and Eva, along with the maverick robots on board the Axiom that deliver a telling message without making it too depressing for comfort. A truly un-missable movie.
