No joke. For me, it's that good. I have a ticket to see it for my sixth time in a few hours with a few of my friends. This is an absoulutely wonderful movie. It combines adventure, romanace and sci-fi together. This is my new favorite movie ever...the previous movie to hold that spot was Titanic. My father liked the movie, but he is not a huge fan of movies and TV like I am. Even so, it's a good thing he found the movie fascinating. My brother loved this movie just as much as I did. He holds his business until the end of movie. By then, most of the time, he's leaked into his pants and I have to hand him my sweater. My mother went to go see it w/me the fifth time. It's 2nd in her top favorite movies ever, just under Gone With The Wind. One of my nieces, who is six, didn't really understand the movie but she liked it nonetheless. She is already begging her mother to go and buy it on DVD. When reminded she has to wait until November to get it, she throws a FIT! I have gone to see this movie FIVE times. No joke.

I am not a fan of schmaltzy kids movies. My son is 7 so I put on a grin and bear them. This movie shocked me! Yes, it had the Disney (TM) cute/warm moments but it was also fine for us grumpies..I mean, grownups. Not too many have mentioned the cartoon that lead the film off (I'm assuming that it was a part of the film no matter where it was seen). The silly premise of a hungry rabbit and his magician master was very funny. The movie was great. I am not a fan of schmaltzy kids movies. My son is 7 so I put on a grin and bear them.

It made my son sad to see the way they depicted earth and said he hoped the world would not end up that way some day. He loved that Wall-E was so curious and was thrilled when Evaaaa showed up! He laughed at the ridiculous state of the humans and was happy to see a new beginning for them at the end. He thoroughly enjoyed the film.

I am a public school administrator who went to see the movie by myself. The theater was packed - about 80% children and I thought "oh no...won't hear a word of this." WRONG!!! As previous folks have posted, you could hear a pin drop and no one left the theater! As an administrator, I see children all of the time that constantly need engagement - action movies, video games, loud music...everything is done for them, handed to them or explained to them...make believe is over. It is a sad state of the world when a school-aged child cannot sit though 30 minutes without dialogue yet they can sit through 30 minutes of flicking their fingers over a Wii or computer keyboard in a video game or IM'ing their friends...the graphics were stunning, the slapstick actions were cute and the track (music), didn't blow you out of your seat. Political message aside (environment, nutrition, etc.), how many of the posters whose children thought it was "less fun than taking a dump" took their children home to sit them in front of their tv, video games and computer for some more mindless "fun"?

They cackled like crazy at the short/cartoon which preceeded the movie, too. Halfway through, my son leaned over and asked "Is this the future?" I told him "It might be, if we aren't careful and don't start taking better care of the Earth." My 5 year old said later that he thought WALL-E was 'good because he took care of the Earth for the people on the ship, who got lost and got fat waiting to come back down and be with him'. He knew WALL-E and EVA loved one another and knew the cockroach on Earth was WALL-E's friend. He did not know how the trash on Earth got there at first, but then he said later, "People are dirty and need to stop making so much trash. WALL-E likes to make things clean, but he doesn't like trash." Two 5 year olds and an 8 year old, my son and two friends, seemed enchanted.
