Wall-E

[Chernabog]

I loved Cars. Saw it twice in the theatre, and am dazzled by it on Blu-ray (iSm, next time you're over I'll show you a bluray clip... your jaw will drop).

And the movie sold $5 BILLION in merchandise. FIVE FREAKING BILLION DOLLARS (and they expect 2.5 billion in sales during 2008.. for a movie released in 2006!). That's insane. Yeah a lot of people liked the movie.

And yes, the middle of the movie slowed down, but that was sort of the point. I liked the characters and the animation so much that it was amazing just to take it all in.

The worst Pixar movie IMHO was Bug's Life, which I've only seen once because it was only marginally entertaining and had ho-hum characters (with the exception of of Heimlich, of course!).

Back to the topic at hand, I spoke to Al the other day and he said he's read a few advance reviews of Wall-E -- all of them gushing about the film. Pretty cool.
