WALL·E (2008)
1/10
The weakest Pixar feature? It's in a tie with Up.
26 February 2010
A sappy love story between 7 year-olds. Ratatouille was marvelous, the perfect film being as appealing to adults as to children. Wall-E on the other hand dumbs-down to be a film where only the visuals can appeal to adults. Finding Nemo was a great adventure, not wrecked by its celebrity voices as are many animated features (or by their obsession with celebrity voices). Wall-E avoids the celebrity voices route but falls down by being an adventure without detail or substance. This one is weak the whole way through after its intro, in contrast with 'Up', which falls down completely after a wonderful opening. A shame in both cases that the flagship company for animated features (their animated shorts are like out-takes only) would go ahead with either of these films that could only be badly flawed.
