Clever and endearing. I would not call this essential viewing but I enjoyed it more than I expected.

The tale of a trash compactor from the future who's desperate for connection isn't just one of Pixar's unlikeliest successes, but its most arresting and prescient.

A charming love story of two lonely robots surrounding a satire of consumer culture. Strong stuff.

Ultimately, WALL-E is about nothing less than one of the tenets of human existence: the need to find a partner with whom to share life's experiences.

Much of the film is wonderfully imagined, and there is something utterly winning about this tin can topped with binoculars... It's just a shame that, at the end, it trips itself up with its own SENTIMENTALITE.

Although Wall-E ends with a very apt and moving nod to City Lights, it is in fact Pixar's answer to Modern Times-both a bravura summation of everything the studio is great at and a "You ain't seen nothing yet!" statement of purpose.
