Movie Review - Wall E

This is going to be a hard one to review. Overall the picture was an enjoyable family film. But this was not your typical Disney/Pixar animated classic, in the mode of the Incredibles or Cars. This was a movie with a message. It was a movie about the state of the human condition and where it might lead. About the consequences of our over indulgences and excess. I think the movie had a total of a hundred lines of dialogue. There was action, but not the kind you found in Kung Fu Panda. I believe the boys enjoyed the film, but it was not one they would put at the top of the summer list. I will say the movie was great for sparking family talk. The kids asked question and Demi and I answered them. We asked the kids some pointed question right back. There was definitely a need for a movie like that. And Disney/Pixar delivered.
