I saw Wall-E tonight after the attempt to go to the MoMA failed. Memo to self: Not everything in NYC is open until 4 am. The latest from the geniuses at Pixar, a CGI animation studio, is incredible: it's heartwarming and hilarious without being pandering or didactic, which is difficult balance considering its message. Also, in contrast to today's hyper-active entertainment environment, for an animated feature Wall-E has a decidedly slower and more contemplative vibe and pace (particularly in the first third of the film which plays almost like a silent film), despite a setting set in the future where humans evacuated a polluted Earth for large space bound cruise ships in which robots attended to every person's need.
I recommend.
All the promotional Wall-E vignettes are a nice treat as well:
