At last I got chance to see the much talked about and well reviewed Wall.e, Pixar’s latest film. It follows the story of Wall.e (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class), a robot which is left on earth to tidy the mess the humans have left, I won’t spoil anymore of the story than that.
The animation is superb, it’s amazing how you end up generally caring for this robot, and that has to be due to the excellent sound & visual design that Pixar have created throughout the film. Pixar have really taken time with everything and the attention to detail is fantastic, as you would expect. The excellent story line and the film generally moves at a nice pace. There are clever nods to other films including Pixar’s own.
Just a thought I wonder if Pixar have slightly missed the target audience, this is a family film, normally Pixar hit the mark by have something for adults and kids, with Wall.e the opening 30 minutes are very clever cinema, but the 70 kids who were in the cinema seemed restless, I also thought this was the case with a lot of the humour, it was very clever and by my brother and I laughed, but not many kids did.
Overall I highly enjoyable film and pixar show they are way ahead of the game in the animation world, but perhaps not as family orientated as some other Pixar films.
Rating: 8 / 10
