Once again, Pixar have managed to do it. They've managed to create a CGI cartoon that is both art and mass entertainment, as shallow or as deep as you want it to be and as beautiful as a goddess to boot. First Ratatouille, now this. Thankyou Pixar for saving us from having to watch any more cynical Dreamworks trash.
For me, the recent Post-Cars output from Pixar has been absolutely perfect, taking on what Disney cast off when they shut down their animation department a few years ago. What they've taken is the charm that imbued all the hand drawn features of old (i think of Aladdin, The Lion King, films i grew up with) and placed it into the new mould of CGI. As i mentioned in my review of Ratatouille (http://sealofmadness.wordpress.com/2007/10/18/dave-reviews-ratatooie-hang-on-thats-not-how-its-spelt/) it has a quality that trancends time and aging of material, a bit like a classic love story- Romeo and Juliet is still revered today because it's themes are still relevant today. Perhaps the themes of Wall-E aren't that timeless, but the feeling and charm i think is something that goes beyond fads and fashions.
I'm wittering. It was a marvellous filmic experience and i would recommend it to anyone. End of.
