“WALL-E” is a charming animated movie centered on the last robot on earth after earth is destroyed by an environmental crisis. This Pixar film follows the travels of WALL-E, a waste disposal robot who works all the while dreaming of romance in his life. WALL-E seeks out visitors from another planet when they arrive on earth and ends up going on a great adventure.

The WALL-E character is endearing, funny and watchable and the other animated characters are equally watchable. The voice talent is especially good in this film, along with the animation and sound effects.

The story is well written and a different take on most animated films. There is an environmental message throughout the film as well as comments on society and our addiction to technology. This is a great family film and one adults will enjoy along with their children.

2008. Directed and written by Andrew Stanton. Starring the voice talent of Ben Burtt, Elissa Knight, Jeff Garlin, Fred Willard, John Ratzenberger, Kathy Najimy and Sigourney Weaver.
