I didn't hear any snoring, either. ;) To Zigory: I found the ending optimistic, especially if you watch the ending credits and see the Earth coming back to life, the rivers and plants restored. But, you're right, kids who watch this on DVD without adult input might miss the message, especially preschoolers. To Gus3:

To a child, the sense of a system and society that is dependable and rational is extremely important to his feeling secure and optimistic, to his feeling free and motivated to learn and grow and become ambitious within that society. The new Disney-Pixar movie Wall E is not at all in the spirit of Walt Disney’s movies. Above all, the problem with this film — and the fact that busy parents, or their child care providers, will one day buy the DVD and play it over and over for their children without watching it — is the message that the universe makes no sense and the future is dark and adults are incapable of dealing with their problems until long past catastrophe. This is not a reassuring message to children who love life and can’t wait to grow up and flourish. It is harmful. As my 5-year-old son said, “That’s a Garbage Planet. That’s not Earth. Why are they calling it Earth?” He understands that Earth makes sense. People are rational beings. I explained it’s a make-believe silly story about Earth in the future where, as my wife said, “people become stupid” and can’t get rid of garbage. (Even though they can create a spaceship to hold and feed the entire human population for 700 years). I reassured him and his sister that it’s ridiculous and that this is not going to happen in real life.

I loved this movie!! (HATED Ferngully, btw). Eva and WALL-E are adorable and I agree that the environmentalism was really just background. The central part of this was the relationship/adventures of the robots. I didn't get a propoganda vibe at all. Also, the ending was very positive and I LOVED the credits!! I guess it's hard for me to rant about something that seems to turn out ok in the end? No way! I loved this movie!! (HATED Ferngully, btw).

Caught up, or asleep.

I thought the overall message of the film, as well as the ending, was quite hopeful and upbeat. And the mini-art history lesson during the ending credits (you have to pay attention!) was a nice touch. Although kids might not understand it without adult help. During the climax the theater, which included several small children, was ABSOLUTELY SILENT--a sign that we were all caught up in the moment, from seniors to youngsters. That's not an easy thing to do! Did Mr. Smith see the same movie I saw this weekend? I thought the overall message of the film, as well as the ending, was quite hopeful and upbeat.
