This weekend my wife Heidi and I took our kids to see Wall-E, the latest movie from Pixar. I was amazed at the way a small metallic robot could convey such a range of human expression and emotions. Wall-E puts actors like Keanu Reeves to shame. My suspension of disbelief came screeching to a halt whenever Pixar mixed live action actors in with the 3D animation, and I feel they could have shown the “Hello, Dolly!” clips without having to resort to a live action version of Fred Willard, but otherwise the movie was excellent, and is easily my favourite Pixar movie to date. It has a moral, humour and romance - not an easy feat considering the first half of the movie has almost no dialogue. The movie works both for children and adults, although the message was kind of lost on our kids. I guess that means the movie works as pure entertainment as well, which is a good thing.
