Best of Disney: Wall-E

Disney & Pixar have been producing movie so fast in recent years it's hard to believe that it was back in 2008 when the loveable Wall.E graced the big screen.

Andrew Stanton was back in the director's chair and the movie was, at the time, the best movie that Disney & Pixar had produced.

In the distant future, a small waste collecting robot inadvertently embarks on a space journey that will ultimately decide the fate of mankind.

It’s safe to say that animation has come a long way since the first feature length film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as Disney & Pixar improve with each movie and push the boundaries of animation even further.

Wall-E is visually stunning and really does show the audience the potential that animation still has as Wall-E and it remains the most ambitious picture for them since Toy Story.

The fact that Wall-E is predominately a non speaking character could have caused some problems but the story moves with such pace and his actions and desires are so clear, all he wants is to hold Eve’s hand, that words really aren’t necessary.

Much like  Finding Nemo this animation movie is packed with heart and emotion from the main character who just wants companionship. You really would have to have a heart of metal not to melt.

As well as being a fun Pixar picture there is a loud and clear message within the film, if you care to look the beyond beautiful animation and cute lead character, as Stanton and his team deliver a damning verdict on consumerism as well as highlighting issues of protecting the planet and obesity, subjects very prominent in the news as of late.

In all Wall-E is an absolute gem of a movie that will appeal to all ages: kids will fall in love with the little robot and adults will appreciate the skill that has gone into the film as it taps into everyone’s desires to find that one person to share life’s experiences.
