I loved the movie Wall-E. It was visually impressive, beautiful. It was a simple movie, with a good message, devoid of tackyness, cheap parodies and pop culture references which plague a lot of animated 'family' movies. The message was a timely one too. Don't consume yourself into oblivion. Don't rely on corporations/government (in Wall-E there is no distinction) to do everything for you. Be independant, look after yourself and the planet.
One would think that 'conservatives', who have often lauded Pixar as "one of their own" would take to this movie. But instead, it was utterly ravaged.
"Conservative" Dirty Harry review the movie here.
Guess what his prime gripe is? It's a line uttered in the movie, when the CEO of Buy'n'Save, the ubiquitous corporation which seems to have a monopoly over the planet, says "stay the course". It's a jab at Dubya, get it? It's that significant, that I missed it the first time. But it prompted this "conservative" to write this review.
Have a read and enjoy the antics of the 'Ra Ra Fox news 4eva' numbskulls.
