Down to earth

FINALLY saw "Wall-E" and it was quite a unique cinematic experience. It's hard to compare it to other Pixar faves like "Finding Nemo" or "Ratatouille" because it's just so.....different. How can a robot that only says one word the entire movie be such an endearing character? That's the magic of Pixar, they take anything and make it brilliant. I laughed, I teared up, I was in awe at the utter beauty of some particular scenes, and at the end of it all, as Peter Gabriel sings over the final credits (a great song to end the movie with) I was filled with a sense of hope, a hope inspired by such an overwhelming demonstration of human creativity. When a movie can cause THAT to happen, it's got to be something special.
