Awww come on now... BB was a very good movie! I loved Wall*E as well but that doesn't make Brother Bear 'DO-DO.' :wave:

Sorry, that was just screaming for a litte Gene Wilder.
:lol:
I just think that Brother Bear isn't nearly half as good as Wall-E.

Brother Bear was just okay, but it sure did have some beautiful animation. Probably some of the best that Disney has ever done.

Okay...I went to see it with the family. It was very cute, and the scenes on earth were visualy stunning. The interaction between Wall-E and Eve was great. After the story left earth, it fell apart. I just wasn't interested in the humans. I felt the story would have been better staying on earth.
It was a fun, cute movie...but neither a masterpiece nor groundbreaking in any way. It falls well short of The Incredibles and Monsters Inc.

Agreed on both points.
Finally got a chance to see it last night; "visually stunning", as you all know by now, doesn't even begin to cover it. Presto also moved into my #1 spot for Favourite Animated Short, though I still have a soft spot for One Man Band. While Thomas Newman's score was great and unconventional (great soundtrack, by the way), I liked his work on Finding Nemo better; Michael Giacchino's score for Ratatouille still holds the top contention. Overall, I sincerely believe that Pixar has outdone themselves once again, let alone the entire animation field.
For the record, A Bug's Life, The Incredibles and Monsters Inc. are pretty much my bottom 3 of Pixar films. That having been said, they're still way better than anything Disney (you know what I mean) seems to be putting out these days. :lol:

Glad it at least didn't outrage you like you though it would.
:lol::wave:
Had viewing #2 at my local, small, non-googleplex, hometown cheap-priced theatre. (Seriously. DIRT cheap tickets, run by friendly locals, and popcorn that tastes great and doesn't cost $10! I freakin' love this theatre!)
The small theatre was nearly packed, and the crowd seemed to enjoy it.
I loved it even more the second time!

We saw the movie today, we all thought the movie was terrible, it was in our opinion worse than Ratattooie and that STUNK.
I think the days of "Lion King fantastic" are over.
Kung Foo Panda was 100 times better.

Same here!
In short, I think it is one of the best movies Pixar has produced. Pixar has got me wanting a Wall-E plush toy like nobody's business; I'd say they've done a good job. I really enjoyed Thomas Newman's score as well. The soundtrack is one of the most important parts of a movie for me (aspiring music teacher here), and I was very pleased with it. (I already ordered it from Amazon!) This is just one of my favorite movies. Period.And I agree, Servo: cheap local theaters are great. Paid $5 to see Wall-E on the 4th and enjoyed it more than the first time, which I paid $8.50 for.
As far as the previews in front of the movie go, I'm kind of excited for Bolt but extremely annoyed that Beverly Hills Chihuahua ever got greenlit. I had that song stuck in my head for two days after the first time I saw the movie. If it was at all cute upon first viewing, after two days of it stuck in my head, I don't know if I'll be able to handle the mere sight of a chihuahua for a while. :lookaroun
And for the record, I like Brother Bear, too, but Wall-E is still way better.

Ok, saw it again this weekend, and a few more things I noticed (and am off after this to check the validity of them).
I of course could be reading too much into some things, but here's what I thought I noticed, beyond Rex and the PP truck.
-next to where he puts the spork (to the left): a doll that looks likes one from Sid's house
-when he first gets the lighter and puts it with the collection: a Dinoco lighter
-the second day we see him working and 'collecting' things in his lunchbox: a Piston Cup
-when he puts out the Twinkie for his friend to eat: looks like a Buzz Lightyear lunchbox/thermos set (this one may be a stretch; its just space themed with moon and stars, but looks like something from Buzz to me)
-when Wall-E is hiding from Eve behind the pile of tires, the one he peaks through had "EAR" on it, I thought. It went pretty fast. But who knows, it may have been Lightyear.

LOL...no, I am big enough to admit I was wrong...I was even able to overlook the Axiom sized plot hole.

I really enjoyed this movie. The amount of emotion that they put into a character that had no facial features other than eyes that moved up and down was amazing. You will not find this kind of acting in any other animated film. I was completely blown away. Generally emotions are expressed through the eyes, eyebrows and mouth...with Wall-E you basically only had one of those and it's the hardest one to deal with. They didn't squash or stretch any part of his body in any scene (which is common in every single animated feature ever created - they are fundamentals), but yet you knew how he felt and what he was thinking. It was because of this that the movie was absolutely amazing.
I hate to say it, but Disney hasn't even released a film remotely close to Lion King since Lion King. I've enjoyed every Disney and Pixar movie since Lion King, but after Lion King was when the quality of all Disney films fell. That movie seemed to be the pinnacle of the 90's Disney Animation. In my opinion, these days were over a long time ago. Unless someone can point out a Disney animated movie that made such an impact on animation post Lion King. (Toy Story would be a good example, but unfortunately it was a Pixar film and not Disney)
I think Lilo & Stitch is the best thing that has come since Lion King. They switched back to actual watercolored backgrounds and not computer generated (or computer colored) ones. The film had more heart than any other Disney toon since Lion King.
I really enjoyed Kung Fu Panda, but again it's emotions revolved around already set devices used in cartoons and by people. (ie. Eyes, eyebrows, etc). The animation was wonderful and the character models were beautiful, but it also relied heavily on humor whereas Wall-E did not.
For myself Wall-E was a magnificent study on emotion without ever having to say anything.

I finally saw it today. I enjoyed it and thought it was cute, but it is not a movie that I could sit through again anytime soon without being bored. I'm not saying it was a boring movie....I just think that for me personally I would get bored if I had to watch it again.
I have watched Toy Story and Cars over and over and love them even more everytime I see them. I never, ever get tired of watching them. I feel the same way to an extent about The Incredibles.
But Wal-E just did not have that same effect on me.
Oh well, to each his own!:shrug:

I just saw it today and this is pretty much how I felt. After they left Earth, I got bored. Well, maybe not bored, it was a cute story... but I was certainly disappointed. Maybe I was just too hyped up for it, but I was hyped up for Nemo as well and I saw that twice the week it came out and still watch it quite a bit.
I will say though that the scenes of Wall-E and Eve in space were stunning as well, IMO.
All in all, I enjoyed the short at the beginning much more than the film itself :shrug:
