    You'll be a heartless bastard if you don't enjoy it, Neil.

    And I dare you not to choke up a bit in the final act. It's such a sweet movie, and not sickeningly so either, but just the right amount.

    Oh no! Must not cry in front of lots of little children... Must not cry in front of lots of little children...

    My only worry is all the little kids will be making too much niose and distract me too much from the film

    When I went there were plenty of kids, and there was rarely a peep out of them, certainly not high enough to over-ride the noise of the cinema.

    Which reminds me of when I went to see the rather awesome Doomsday, fook me was it LOUD (with a capital "OW! MY EARS EXPLODED!"), and there were a few people in the audience who were chatty, including some cocky prick who thought he was suddenly the king of comedy when about three people laughed at his "could you turn it up a bit?" joke about the noise when the distributor logo showed.

    Anyway, the movie was so loud, those few people were drowned out - plus someone must have told the management, cos somebody from the cinema popped in now and then to glare at the buffoons ... but I barely heard them once during the movie cos of the loudness.

    Anyway, when I went to WALL.E, the kids were all rather well behaved (which was nice to see), the only mild distraction was anybody going to the toilet (for the FASTEST pee breaks I've ever seen). I never pee during a movie though, I get my entire money's worth ... which annoying has now GONE UP by 30 pence all of a sudden.

    £6.50 for a prime time showing now!

    Erm, yeah, you should be fine I think...well, I hope so for you anyway. Just focus really hard on the screen ... as well as trying not to cry in front of lots of little children.

    I must admit I got a lump in my throat towards the end.

    I agree with MZ. Superb movie. I didn't really know much about it before i saw it and was pleasantly suprised by the setting and "message". Funnily enough there weren't many kids (well, little ones anyway) in our showing.

    Just caught it last night, I agree its good and tugs at the ole heart strings a bit.

     
    One question, when Eve rebuilt him at the end, and he booted back up and wasn't quite normal... do you think his operating system was to blame? I believe he was running VISTA and thats why he wasn't working quite right.

    hehe, ah man when he rebooted and wasn't the same, I was on the edge of my seat! Yeah, I blame Vista for it too, even 700 years of development can't fix Vista according to Pixar, haha.

    Some new information.

     
    turns out, WALL-E's boot up beeps are from the MAC OSX system, so I guess what pixar is saying is that MAC ain't all it is cracked up to be.

    dude.


    your joking right?, in every disney movie there's a moment like that.

    though in my screening all the kids were still, then when it turned out to be a fallacy (trying to narrowly avoid spoilers) they all breathed out a sigh of relief.


    yes im jaded, but this time im jaded BECAUSE disney and pixar does this almost every time!

    I'd heard that the noise when he's finished charging his solar panels is from a Mac, but surely it's a good nod towards the company, surely Pixar have a bundle of Macs at their gaff.

    Didn't play off as a dig to me anyway.

    Hellsing - ugh, you're so bloody jaded all the damn time. You're so jaded in fact, that you make other people jaded about you being jaded, gah!

    I'm so glad I can just let a movie spirit me away and suck me right in.

    By all means, be jaded about friggin' Disaster Movie et al, but leave poor ickle WALL.E alone! He's too cute for jaded juice!

    You missed the irony...


    When I found out it was MAC OSX it was my chance to take a stab at MAC considering they always JAB PC's and WINDOWS
