I posted some thoughts about the movie's philosophical content too. http://www.pampelmoose.com/mspeaks/2008/07/wall-e-a-parable-for-our-eventual-extinction Dave Allen Ethan,

I mean, the big drama was not getting to push a button to get the plant in and then suddenly they're home and there's fields of different kinds of plants? How did they get varieties? How did the whole civilization learn how to farm? etc... still, the animation is as real as actual reality, even if the politics were pretty heavy handed. also not sure how i felt about having live action intermingled, since it kind of drew attention to the CGI aspect of the character models as compared to Fred Willard. All in all, shares a spot with Nemo and Ratatouillie as my fave Pixar. Also, you missed (at least in my theater) another movie about a rodent in france who learns to cook, coming from Universal this holiday season. Good times. i loved it, but dont you think the third act was a little rushed?

Good to see I'm not alone in that. And Daniel: I'm hoping it gets Best Picture as well. I saw this last night, and was blown away. Good to see I’m not alone in that.

I was so stunned by this film that the prospect of me watching a DVD tonight was just so dull. I will definitely have to give this film another viewing (or three) before it leaves theaters. I also feel the same about it being a film. As I was walking out, I was thinking that I hope they enter it for Best Picture next year rather than Best Animated Film. I felt exactly the same way.
