Summary: A charming Disney/Pixar film
Comment: I found this to be a charming film
I liked the Wall-E & Eve characters
If you do NOT like messages you may not like the environmental one used here
Good to see real actors in a Disney/Pixar film for a change. Only 1 of note is Fred Willard He did his job but they could have tried to have gotten a bigger named actor for the small part
Music was OK Nothing bad about it but it did not jump out at you Older songs used so I doubt the film will get an Oscar nomination for the score
I caught The Little Mermaid reference-Wall-E keeping all the interesting items he finds to Ariel's collection
Great looking animation
NOW, A BIG POINT OF WHO THOUGHT THIS UP?
The DVD package. Instead of a useable to store or stack plastic DVD package we get this thin card board, 1 side you get out disc 1, the other side you pull out the other 2 discs
NOT ANY PRINTED INFORMATION ON THE FILM, no brochure or anything I am very upset about this package
FOR THE EXPENSIVE PRICE BUYERS DESERVE SOMETHING BETTER

Summary: for all those who are wondering: "what exactly is in this beefed up editon?"
Comment: I want to start by saying i'm a HUGE pixar fan. I was there when they began and i grew up with their films, seeing every one of them in theaters and owning more than a normal amount of their merchandise. I was excited to see andrew stanton's sophmore directorial work at pixar and i was not dissapointed. this film is literally a masterpiece, you forget you're watching an animated family film after a while. it's dark, honest, and so absolutely beautiful, your jaw will be dropped and you will laugh alot. this film is funny and smart and is steering pixar in a whole new direction, now with that being said, i immediatley anticipated the dvd release of the film. after some lousy dvd releases for the last couple years (the incredibles being their last release to recieve a special edition), it was time for them to finaly go back to their hefty special edition packages, and once again i was not dissapointed. Literally up to the very day this dvd came out, i still was not sure what exactly i was getting. all the different versions and what not, it was hard to distinguish what came on what. so i finally cracked it open to see for myself and i was very pleased.
for a standard dvd, the picture, sound and film itself is like i said, incredible. so, considering i already went off about the film itself i'll just say i give it
10/10
now for all of you who are still confused exactly what these features include on the 3 disc standard release, i;m going to tell you once and for all.
first off, the packaging is way different from pixar's past releases. no slip case, no plastic case, none of that. instead, going along with the film's moral, the dvd comes in an eco friendly cardboard type case. for the 3 disc relase you pull open one side which reveals the first disc and the list of scenes and bonus features, you pull open the other side and that reveals the 2nd and 3rd disc along with a list of features. the case idea is kind of cool but can be frustrating to remove the discs and what not.
now for the actual content....
i didn't have a chance to actually explore everything but i gota good idea of it all and the length and layout for everything. the first disc has the feature film, the short film, "presto" and the new to dvd short, burn-e(which is pretty funny but has alot of filler moments with actual clips from the movie to develop the story). there is also a featurette that talks with ben burt, the man behind the voice of wall-e. and wall-e's tour of the universe. there is also 2 deleted scenes that total in at around 10 minutes. the second disc has two pathways, kind of like the monsters inc dvd...."humans" and "robots" humans section is more adult oriented and includes all the insight and goodies....the robots section is more for the kids and includes the animated storybook, and a couple other minescule features. the humans section is where it's all at. for the longest time it said there would be "making of" featurettes and i thought, "what making of featurettes, it doesn't say" wellthere are a handful of featurettes about different aspects of the film and the total time for all these is almost an hour long! the bnl shorts consist of 5, 2 minute long "instructional" films. another big feature is the full legnth documentary entitled 'the pixar sory" (86 minutes long)this disc also includes 2 more deleted scenes that are a total of about 14 minutes long.
It'salways great to see a digital copy of any of your favorite films. i'm kind of new to this whole digital copy thing and i only have 2 other films in digital copy form. i was excited to get this onto my ipod but noticed that, unlike the other movies i have, this isnt meant to fit to screen. to only truly fit everything in the movie on the secreen, you have to play it in widescreen which if you have a regular video ipod like me, is kind of straining for the eyes.
Ok, so i rambled on about the dvd and other stuff for too long, but i have to say i'm glad to see pixar is really caring about the dvd again. i'm still bummed blu ray owners still get slightly more features on their version. i'll have to put that on my x-mas list :)

Summary: Great Movie! Horrible customer support!
Comment: I saw this movie in the theatre and LOVED it! I thought it was brilliant. I couldn't wait for it to come out on dvd.
The day of its release I went to Wal-Mart and purchased the special edition as I really wanted the digital copy for my iPod and computer. I get home, insert the digital copy into my computer, only to realize there is no authorization code. I take it back to wal-mart and exchange it. The lady opens it there and again, no code. She explains that 10 other people have been in complaining about no codes and how none of the copies seem to have them. She says I should call disney as they can't be opening every dvd.
I get home and get on the phone with Disney "customer support". What it boils down to is they admitted it was their fault. The girl offers me a sincere apology. So I figure, great the problem will be rectified. Nope. Instead what I am sent via email is a process where by I, the paying customer, must now jump through hoops to get a copy of this code. I have to print out a form, fill it out, go make copies of my receipt and my proof of purchase and then either scan it, fax it or mail them the forms. After Disney receives it, they will mail me a code and I should get it in the mail (7-10 business days later). O_o
Now, while it may not seem to be too much hassle to scan and copy and print; there is no reason why I should have to do ANYTHING after I spent my money and Disney clearly admitted fault. Forgive me if I missed the whole concept of customer service, but shouldn't it be Disney who should be jumping through hoops to rectify the wrong? I paid extra money to have the product when I purchased it; not to take have to do some legging around and then wait almost 2 weeks later.
My advice; if you really want the digital copy buy the regular version for $15 and then hop on iTunes and download Wall-E there. You'll spend about the same amount of money and you'll save yourself a whole lot of time and aggravation.
I hate to give this product a low score as I think this is one of the best movies of all time with a terrific story and great message. But Disney screwed up big time with their customer service on this one. Way to not provide for your customers and then treat them like pirating criminals when they want what they should have had at purchase. It's perplexing. How can people successfully run a business this way?

Summary: An Out of This World Famil-E Adventure
Comment: The opening shot is of downtown New York City. Only these aren't normal buildings but towers of blocks of trash. WALL-E (voiced by beeps and Ben Burtt), our hero, is a glorified trash compactor who has made the mountains. As we follow him across the vast landscape, we learn that he is the last of his kind and that he is indeed on earth. Humans fled years ago because they bought into the commercialism of the Buy-n-Large stores that ruled the earth. The resulting garbage overran the planet.
But WALL-E is not a mindless robot. He is curious and collects bits and pieces of things that are still intact. At night, he takes these to his bunker where they are on display a la Ariel. His only companions are a cockroach and a video tape of Hello Dolly.
Into this world comes Eve (voiced by beeps and Elissa Knight). Eve is another robot but much more high tech. She is on a classified mission. WALL-E immediately falls for her. So much so, in fact, that when the spaceship returns to collect Eve, WALL-E tags along. Suddenly, the two find themselves caught up in an adventure with the future of mankind at stake. Can they save humanity?
This isn't quite Pixar's best, but it is very good. I mean, we've got robots who hardly speak as our main characters, yet we are completely rooting for them. And even though the dialogue is limited, these robots have personality. But it was the limited dialogue that got to me. I got tire of long stretches where the only words we heard were Wall-E and EVE calling each others' names, especially during the climax.
There are few characters here. Frankly, that makes sense due to the extra effort it takes to develop character and story without dialogue. And the story was a tad slow in spots, but it usually picked up about the time I was ready to move on.
There are some many cute and funny moments in the film. While most of these will appeal to the whole family, even those that kids wouldn't get are appropriate for all ages.
The animation is spectacular throughout, but this is especially true once we leave earth. There are some space shots that took my breath away.
There are several morals lurking just below the surface of the film. And you know what I appreciated abut them? They lurked just below the surface. Oh, they're hard to miss, but the story never stopped to lecture us.
While slow at times, I had a smile on my face by the time the film was over. And really, that's what it is all about.

Summary: A Work of Staggering, Simple Beauty
Comment: Wall-E, at the very least, is easily Pixar's best effort. Though in actuality, the highest and most accurate praise I can give this humble little film is this: It's not only the best animated feature since The Lion King, it also earns an easy place as one of the top five animated films of all time.
Wall-E balances an innocent romance with a story about realization, companionship, and heroism in a way that will both entertain and challenge children, all the while completely engaging adults in both the story and the potent but never pushy social message. The movie manages multiple laugh out loud moments with minimal dialogue, and instead allows the robots to communicate with each other and humans with robotic sounds that are so well done that they're as understandable as any real speech used in the movie. The lead robots, Wall-E and EVE are great characters with a story that can and will warm your heart and glaze your eyes one minute and make you crack up the next. There are hardly any B-Plots except recurring jokes (the "Foreign Contaminate" robot bit comes to mind), so pretty much the full length of the movie is devoted to Wall-E's epic journey to restore humanity on Earth and, moreover, to hold EVE's hand.
The design of the robots in this movie is nothing short of genius. They are highly emotive and more expressive than most of the humans, though it's clear that Pixar made the effort to achieve a balance, making sure that they're expressive but also retain the man-made machinery look. And it was a complete success. There are many scenes of simple staggering beauty here, such as Wall-E, fire extinguisher in hand, flying with EVE through open space. From the regular character design, to the deep and starry sky, to the buildings, to the fast paced action scenes, to the sleek look of EVE, to the masterpiece that is Wall-E himself, Pixar completely and totally outdid themselves.
Wall-E is an ambitious idea that has been fully realized in an unabashed masterpiece of a film.
10/10 Classic.
