AWOL: Whoa there, Cherry Blossom. Pixar is an oasis of sanity and quality in the world of children’s entertainment. Don’t go lumping their movies in with the “lots of noise and overdone slapstick = happy kids” crowd. Frankly, some of their movies (“Ratatouille” especially) really aren’t “kids” movies at all — they’re just good movies that happen to be animated. Watch some of the noisy, color-saturated dreck they run on Cartoon Network and then compare the two. There’s just no putting them in the same category.
Besides, judging from the review above (I haven’t seen the movie yet, admittedly), isn’t”Wall-E” making the same point you are? That immersion in mindless entertainment leads to life as a sea cucumber?
