critical mass
Pixar's latest film,
Wall-e has been over a decade in the making, but the film's subversive, environmentally friendly, anti-consumerism platform holds truer today than they did ten years ago.
Wall-e, which features the voices of Sigourney Weaver, Jeff Garlin and Fred Willard, centers around a robot (named, not surprisingly, "Wall-e") who was created to clean up a deserted Earth all alone. Wall-e meets a new robot named Eve and they fall in robot-love until she is forced to leave and he tags along. On the trip, the duo discover a spaceship inhabited by humans (and where all of them have grown fat and lazy, sucking down fast food like it's going out of style). What do reviewers have to say about a children's film with such subversive messages (let alone those that may be seen as "
anti-fat" and "anti-Republican")? Do the messages overshadow the heart of the film? The reviews, after the jump.
