Robot romance

WALL-E (2008)

Directed by Andrew Stanton this animated film uses the voice talent of Elissa Knight, Jeff Garlin, Sigourney Weaver and Fred Willard. Hundreds of years in the future the last working rubbish compactor robot on earth meets a more advanced probe robot.

This film is a classic example of what Pixar do so well, they mix simple but well told emotional stories with a little something under the surface. In this case the film is not just a romance but also points a finger at the commercial habits of the United States. All of the animation is up to the usual standard but the highlight here is dealing with main characters that communicate largely without language which works really well.


5/5
