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.

Where Ratatouille was a real led down was it lacked the heart of say Finding Nemo, despite being visually superb, it was more concerned with looking good. Wall-E however fails to fall into this trap as it is packed with 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.

A must see this summer!
