Wall-E is beautiful.
I was blown away by how much they communicated using no words in the first half. Beautiful is right. I need to watch WALL-E again.
More than any other film Pixar has done (outside their shorts), Wall-E was a true powerhouse in demonstrating their ability to tell a story. It was absolutely captivating.
It's one of the things for me that takes away from films like UP, The Incredibles or even Brave. All good enough movies, but Pixar stole my heart in their ability to tell stories using characters that, well, aren't human. And through these Toys, or Bugs, or Robots, or Cars... I still find myself drawn in and relating to the stories at an emotional level - A connection that often defies my natural instinct.
I don't find myself... As surprised, by Pixar's "Human" driven stories, and it leaves me wanting just a little bit more.
