I just saw WALL-E last night, and I really didnt feel preached at. I agree that there are definently movies out there that are just mind less vehicles for liberal propaganda, the awful Happy Feet being the first one that comes to mind. WALL-E was not one of these. The premise, the earth being full of trash, was just as fantastical as talking toys, and just as necessary for the plot of WALL-E as the latter was for Toy Story. The only messages I received from it were that it is good to think for your self (a good thing), enjoy the world around you(a good thing), don’t be wasteful (a good thing), and don’t be lazy (also a good thing). I guess the whole don’t allow a robot named Otto to control the ship lesson was also there, but that is a very important life to learn anyway. So they chose a fantastical setting to tell a unique story in a unique way and taught a few good life along the way. One could read into it and claim that they were blaming America for ruining the world, fighting in Iraq, and not killing enough babies, but why ruin a good movie by making up stuff?
