Wall-E - the best movie robot ever?

saw the film over the weekend, great film for the kiRAB, possibly the best family film of the year? thoroughly enjoyed it.


eeeeeeevaa!
 
I'm not sure how spoilery this is, but a warning before you read some of it:

"What if mankind had to leave Earth, and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off? After hundreRAB of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL*E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE.
EVE comes to realize that WALL*E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet's future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans.
Meanwhile, WALL*E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets an adventure into motion. Joining WALL*E on his journey across the universe is a cast of characters including a pet cockroach and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots."
 
The character Wall-E is a blatant rip off of Johnny 5 and ET. Pixar know this but they also know ET and Short Circuit mean very little to the audience demographic - young children. Young children won't know ET or Johnny 5, Wall-E will seem completely original to them. Just because Pixar are a very talented company doesn't mean they can't be cynical and steal other people's ideas.

Say "ET" aloud....

Now say "Wall-E" aloud...

Sound rather similar, don't they?

Regardless of the unoriginal character, the film has got rave reviews and Pixar do spend a lot of time creating their films and it shows on screen. But a rip off is still a rip off! :rolleyes:
 
Haven't seen the film yet, so can't say anything bad about this movie.

But from what i have seen from the trailers and clips, Wall-E definitely looks good. :p
