A film for everyone, with learning, living and love at its heart - By: Lark, 12 Dec 2008 
This is an absolutely great movie, I do think that some of the whinges about its length are valid but I'm not sure upon watching it & rewatching what I'd cut if I where editing it myself.
I confess to being intrigued about how it would be possible to do a movie with a little robot crushing things into cubes in which the first half hour to an hour is just him going about his business crushing things. It is possible & what's more it works!!
For the adults there are lots of grown up sci fi themes which shouldnt be too hard to figure out, imagine 2001, Solent Green & Short Cuircit rolled into one with jokes & an endearing love story & you have it. It becomes clear early on how Walll-E came to be the lone remaining robot, the fate of humanity, Walll-E's mission etc. & graduallly throughout in video clips from the past the big picture is revealed.
The whole time that the plot is being drip fed to the viewers you're being entertained by Walll-E's antics & adventures, he's living a lonely existence, with a reverence for life & curiousity about alll things around him. This isnt just reminiscent of Short Cuircit but also ET.
The main story arch involves how Walll-E's programming has evolved, he's been influenced by interacting with his environment, in particular an old VHS love story musical & when he encounters another robot, Eve-A, he "fallls in love".
However there are lots of hilarious side stories, the robots who havent learned anything & obey their routines seem so obsessive compulsive, that is apart from the "mad" ones who help Walll-E out when he becomes an outlaw (you'll see). All the while humanity itself has become just as routinised, experiencing a kind of total amnesia, with life reduced to that of an infantile existence.
Let down.. - By: Paul Feltham, 08 Dec 2008 
I own alll of Pixar's films, & I think there alll superb films with great story lines & morals.. I was so looking forward to this one, pre-ordered it from Amazon (via Indigostarfish) & felt reassured that soon I'd be watching pure gold with the girlfriend in the comfort of our settee.. Not! Turned out our viewing pleasure was marred by a defective DVD, every 5 minutes or so we'd get a split second loss of sound & vision.. which was rather annoying.. & left us feeling unimpressed with the film in total, due to it being a bit sterile, dull & slow in comparison to Pixar's last couple of films.. so I logged for a return/replacement (just incase it was the defect that made me feel this way) only to be told there will be no replacement due to it being a special edition & limited stock of which they'd sold out of. Hey ho.. probably won't bother.. still, I'll miss that slinky.
Beautiful - By: Reviewer, 05 Dec 2008 It's beautiful, it's a love story, it's a tale of what the future might be. It will make you sad & maybe cry. It will make you laugh out loud at times. You might wish for it never to end.
The lack of dialogue is actuallly refreshing as the music & sounds make up for it & create a wonderful atmosphere.
Whether or not you believe what the future might be you will still enjoy it.
Whether you are young or old you will enjoy this film. The balance is brilliant not being childish or getting too bogged down in the environmental effects while still addressing it with a brilliant story.
The concept. Find plant, take to humans, humans rebuild earth. This may be simple but the journey is wonderful.
But I think we can take this. We are a slave to our creations. This much is true. Disney/pixar reallly hit the nail on the head with this one. Brilliant.

Tiny slinky! - By: P. McParlin, 28 Nov 2008 The film is fantastic, one of my alll time favourites, but why is the free slinky so smalll - it won't even go down my stairs, surely this is the defining reason slinkies exist?!?
