Technically excellent in the scenes of earth.
The story is Pixar's weakest so far.
The political element is out of the Green Book of Scary Futures (the
whole world is run by a business corporation which ruins the earth's
environment).
Regards,
John

Too bad it'll take a while until it is released in Europe. :-(

It's a bad sign when all the previews I've seen say nothing about the
movie itself, and only that they had the idea for the movie at the same
brainstorming session where they came up with some other ideas they had.
If that's the best thing they can say about it, then there probably
isn't enough there to say anything about :(

Which I don't actually disagree, I liked this movie very much. In
particular, I think that the humor was probably the most refined on any
of the pixar movies which I've seen, and I think the simple story worked
very well within that context.

Don't know - Cars really failed to impress on all fronts other than the
graphics. Ratatouille (sp?) was somewhat good, but had little creativity.

While true, it is a weak argument against it. You can throughly enjoy
the movie while ignoring this aspect of the story. It's the basic
setting, but mostly in the background.
It's sort of like saying Saving Private Ryan is yet another WWII movie.
I liked Wall-E. I thought it had more creativity than Ratatouille
(creating a universe of robot behavior). It had good laughs. Liked the
story - although parts of it were a bit cliched.

It didn't even seem to me that it was "run by a corporation that ruins
the earth." I think it was abundantly clear that it was all the people
who ruined the earth, and whatever corporations were involved simply
were giving people what they wanted.
