Even for Pixar, this might be a first: an animated film that contains not only a fully realized world as photorealistic as it is teeming with wonder, but also the Gargantuan themes and visuals of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, the kind of stripped-down sad-clown pathos reserved for classic Buster Keaton comedies, and one of the most moving love stories in a long time. Director Andrew Stanton kicked up the visual acuity of an already-stellar Pixar Studios in 2003 with his reflective, refractive, color-shimmery realization of FINDING NEMO's oceanic world, which genuinely felt as though it spanned the entire earth. Now, with WALL-E, Stanton replaces an estranged journeyer of an apprehensively fishy disposition with a curious and love-struck robotic one, allowing the quest for eternal love to extend from a desolate, dust-covered, palpably polluted future Earth and into an even more mysterious abyss: the far reaches of outer space.

was the perfect gift. delivered on the day it was needed.
We decided to buy this movie after seeing it on TV. Our 2 year old granddaughter saw a portion of it and she kept asking to see it again each time she came to our home. It is perfectly suitable for any age and the over all theme of the story is love for friends and "home". There is a slight message about humans vs. technology but it doesn't ruin the larger message of how love and concern triumph over monotony. It is humorous and can't be taken too seriously. The movie came in a cute DVD jacket and arrived in excellent condition. I may have been able to find the DVD for less on another site but I know what to expect from Overstock and you can't beat the low shipping price.
The movie was a bot more expensive than buying it in the store but I didn't have to go looking for it. It arrived faster than I thought it would. made a nice birthday present and came in perfect condition.
The product arrived in excellent condition and was exactly what was advertised. The movie is very entertaining, though it might be hard for very young children to sit through. Many have criticized a perceived eco-agenda in the movie, but I think that this is reading too much into the movie. The rabbit short that went with the movie is also very good, though strongly riddled with cartoon violence.

We really enjoyed this movie so much! Nothing objectionable, with such an emphasis on love and compassion. Fine music, wonderful animation and an absorbing story with involving characters. That's a rare thing today when even some Disney movies like to push the envelope and make their movies PG, apparently because they think they will garner more interest. BAD move. Families need more movies they don't have to be concerned about regarding content, not less. Wall-E proves it can still be done with panache and substance. We are all over 21 and two of us are over 60 and this movie was not in the least too juvenile to us.
