YAY!
So, here's my sad Wall-E story! As we saw last time I was going to pay for my sister and her family so they would take me to see it, needless to say her husband worked so they couldn't go then.
Well, I was in the process of moving up until 2 days ago. Basically, since I didn't have my house fully packed, I couldn't go with them to see Wall-E on Sunday because I had to pack my house.
Worst punishment ever BY FAR!
But then today! My mom came home for lunch and asked me if I wanted to see a movie! At first I was like "Nah that's okay" but then I was like "WTF AM I THINKING?!" and then said "I WANNA SEE WALL-E!!!!"
YAYAYAYAYAY~ We're going to go see Wall-E at 6:20 tonight. I DON'T THINK ANY ONE CAN FATHOM MY EXCITEMENT.
I'll post my thoughts on it later..
I'm just super freaking excited, it's been a VERY long time since a movie just made me motivated and running off energy of PURE HAPPINESS.
Edit: BEST FREAKING MOVIE EVER!
Seriously, I loved that movie, I could prolly see it 6 ot 7 more times and still be just as pleased with it.

Wall-E is wonderful. I spent the entire day after watching it saying 'Wall-E' in his li'l Wall-E voice. I enjoyed the movie muchly.

Shockingly, you don't have to be a kid to appreciate a good story with amusing comedy.

My 9 year old neice really only got the *spoiler tag for safety* (SPOILER)the point where we need to recycle and what not but she didn't get the point about (SPOILER)people being fat and lazy and drinking things out of cups, being mezmerized by the TV(and other technological things) and not being able to see the beauty of the what's around you, how instead of traditional dating, e-dating is a popular thing (when the guy and the girl (forgot their names) touched they instantly liked each other, because while she had constantly been saying how her holodating was always horrible, she had never touched someone else to get that "click" or chemistry between her and another person) and how overall, all of this is corrupting human kind, not only the trashing the earth bit, but relying on technology to do everything and just being lazy.
My three year old neice didn't get -any- of it, all she cared about was seeing Wall-E. The parents in the audience were moved of course, but there are some things that the movie gets at that you would have to have some understanding to be able to see what it's talking about.
From what I read, sure, it's a subject of interest, but let's say it's a Pixar movie, and I'm a bit too jaded to enjoy positivity in "children's movies".

It was a fantastic film. I loved it. I wasn't expecting that much from it at first, but I really enjoyed it. It was much more moving than I imagined, I genuinely felt very sad during some of the misadventures that befell WALL-E. Been a long time since I've cared so much about a protagonist in a film as I did whilst watching that ridiculously cute robot this evening.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
Here it just comes in 18th August but me and my friends will for sure watch it!Wall-e looks so damn cute ^^
WTF?
On my birthday?
Whatever, I'll wait until my sis gets it on DVD.

I don't know exactly what you mean by "positivity", but some elements of Wall-E actually paint a pretty bleak picture for the future of mankind. And not like some typically post-apocalyptic film where disaster strikes and billions die. More like an actual possibility of just where our path as a race could take us. Quite a mature theme and well over the heads of any children in the audience.
Agree'd. But the positivity part comes from the idea that the humans in the movie were able to recognize their faults and come together at the end to fix what they've done and rebuild the world for the better.
Really, it's the idea of that most people think that they can't make a difference currently, clearly that mind set is what continued and caused the world that existed at the beginning of Wall-E, but by the end they realized that even one person can make a difference and change everything for the better, essentially, more people can make an even bigger difference!
