While I enjoyed Pixar’s last offering, Ratatouille, I didn’t love it and would only buy it if it were gonna get me a multi-buy offer, WALL·E however will be being pre-ordered. The film is probably in my opinion, Pixar’s best for years, if not their best yet. Everything about it is pretty much perfect, from WALL·E’s humorous interactions with his surroundings to the way he instantly falls in love with EVE and attempts to begin a relationship, even though all she wants to do is carry out her “directive”. The film really picks up once they board the Axiom spaceship and WALL·E begins meeting new robots, such as the fabulous cleaner robot who spends most of the movie cleaning up WALL·E’s dirty tracks.
The story is probably Pixar’s most heartfelt to date, and as usual will relate both to kids and adults alike (when I saw this at the cinema there were more adults in the audience on their own than with kids)
As ever there is a short before the film, this time it is the tale of a magician attempting to do the age old “rabbit out of the hat trick” however the rabbit doesn’t want to play until he gets his carrot, what ensues is a hilarious mix of each trying
to get one over on one other while the magician tries to keep control of the situation in front of the crowd. A truly brilliant short.
