It also goes to tell a science fiction story that is closer to literary science fiction (about exploring the nature of humanity, generally) as opposed to typical movie science fiction (about lasers, explosions, and aliens who make explosions with their lasers).

I'm figuring it'll be a year or something before it comes to the UK.

... I think saying any more would be giving too much away.

I really doubt it, since it'll be released in France at the end of this month.What is this movie about? I keep hearing people mentioning it online...

According to Wikipedia, this movie will be released in the UK on July 18.
Anyway, this sounds cute. I think I'll go and watch it.

Oh yeah, and I also loved how they were able to tell the story almost entirely without words. Gives it a slight open - ended - ness.

That was one of my favorite parts of the whole movie. People knew exactly what was going on without excessive dialogue, and without getting lost. Also, the live-action incorporations worked out a lot better than I thought they would. Especially a young, non-Phantom'd Michael Crawford performing Hello Dolly (the movie that Wall-E is completely obsessed about...it plays a role in itself throughout the movie)Oh yeah, and I also loved how they were able to tell the story almost entirely without words. Gives it a slight open - ended - ness.
There were also plenty of in-jokes and things in the movie that would keep adults interested, like most Pixar movies do nowadays. I think my dad and I were the only people in the theather laughing at the 2001 references. Everyone else was either too young or not as geeky as we were. (Shame!)

Either that or they were sick of seeing 2001 references in what feels like every comedy movie or TV show.I think my dad and I were the only people in the theather laughing at the 2001 references. Everyone else was either too young or not as geeky as we were. (Shame!)
Saw it the other day.. I better not see Wall E lose to Kung Fu Panda or something come Oscar time. I still don't fully understand how Happy Feet beat Cars.
I suspect the Oscars are rigged anyways. I still don't fully understand how Paprika didn't even get nominated last year.

4 words: BEST. PIXAR. MOVIE. EVER.
I wouldn't doubt it!
I was watching some of the behind the scenes stuff on the sound design of it, and then my neighbor and I had a field day trying to recreate the devices. Eve's laser gun? A metal slinky, suspended from a ladder, with one end shoved through a tiny hold in a recycling can lid (with the recycling bin below it, of course). We rigged up a mic too,and got something pretty similar!
But the fact that there was hardly any dialogue and that you were still completely captivated is extremely impressive, in my mind.

Absolutely beautiful.
It got onto touchy subjects like robot relationships (yes, I just read Chobits again), the planet's deteriorating state, and mankind's slipping domination over himself.
And at the end, mom says to me, "Sure, I like how it was pointing out that mankind's on a path to ruination- but it doesn't say how to fix it."
Au contraire, dear mater. The credits are that vital key, but I don't think she realized that. Oh well, her loss.

In my ideal ending, the humans would land on Earth and the gravity would crush them. They lie pressed against the ground, unable to move, and slowly starve to death. During the credits, WALL-E compresses their corpses. The bugs inherit the earth.
(This is why I don't work for Pixar.)
