[Official] I did NOT enjoy WALL-E

Scuzzle- Yes. I thought that was fairly common knowledge. If you asked it in a thread and I didn't respond, it is probably because I thought you were trolling.

My parents said the same thing when they got back from the movie. I noticed the tree-hugger aspects of the movie and the jabs at fat americans, but didn't really get bothered by them. My parents were offended and dissappointed in pixar for making such a propaganda-esque movie.

One thing my parents noticed that i didn't was the jabs at president Bush with all of the "just stay the course" bullshit.

It wasn't my favorite pixar movie. It was okay.

"Waaaah, my sensibilities have been offended by a cartoon. How dare they parody anything George W. Bush said! Don't they know we voted for him - twice? It's like they're personally attacking us."

Your parents seem like oversensitive, whiny bitches.

I'm fine with that. I don't care what your belief is about Joseph Smith. I believe he was just a man, called to be a prophet, like any other prophet before him. As such I would not worship, or pray to him, and so forth. If you want to believe otherwise, that is your problem. I just get fired up when people make statements of 'what I believe', when in reality it is a bunch of BS someone made up.
 
The fact is, thismovie is left liberals biased because it makes fun of Bush and says corporations are bad, why, this is unamerican and biased, like the left leaning hollyweird media. Here in the Heartland, we are steadfast and true to moral values and to Bush, who is awesome. I hate it when the cultural eleite have to make fun of conservatives and think its funny, its not, boycott them
 
Considering that PIXAR was at least at one time radically pro-abortion (they wouldn’t lease prints of their short films to theaters in some states that held the wrong politics on abortion), it would seem that the death of all people is a goal they actually could see as a positive thing.

You joke, right?

For me it had nothing to do with the agenda its self. It was how they tried to turn this disturbing future into a joke. It for the most part wasn't funny. Most of my laughs were forced. I tried to like the film, and in many ways I did, but I left disappointed in that they wrecked what could have been a good film.

Also, what was with the one human being real, while everyone else was 3D? Why didn't they make him 3D like everyone else?

ATTN IGNORAMUSES: There is nothing tree-hugger about the movie. THIS JUST IN: Over commercialization leading to wastefulness is a self-destructive cycle that only gets worse and worse. This isn't a neat idea, it's a fact proven all around us, every single fucking day. And it's only 2008. The movie simply sets humanity a bit in the future and takes a couple guesses and where our current course of decision making might lead to. The accuracy (though surprisingly well-thought out and probable) isn't nearly as important as the of the context of the journey.

The fact that some of you were unmoved, or more - 'discomforted' - is alarming, and likely proof you're part of the ignorant problem in this country. The population which thinks all of this is "liberal agenda" (lol), and that over consumption and mindlessness toward the environment is A-OK, are only fooling yourselves and impacting everyone else. The idea that things will, "just take care of itself! I mean it's planet earth dude! It's been here for eons without us!" was perhaps acceptable 10 years ago, but we collectively know enough now to consider you an idiot.

Meanwhile, rainforest's disappear, species are wiped out and displaced, and our own food sources are threatened and compromised often (esp in the case of extinct/threatened spcies) permanent outcome.

Get your act together.

Also: The movie was so much more than this. This was after-the fact dinner conversation. It was just a good fucking movie and I feel bad for the people getting hung up on this shit. I enjoyed it much like the 8 year olds did, but was smart enough to retain all the context in there for the big boys and girls so I could battle it out on tribalwar.com/forums. Another reason why it was great.
 
i just got back from the movie and had been avoiding this thread like the plague until i seen it.

My opinion is this ... its a good movie for kids and even a good movie for adults if you are into animation BUT compare it to other pixar movies and it does kind of lack. Definitely not the best Pixar movie.

I thought Kung Fu Panda was better but i asked my 4 year old son which he liked better and it was Wall-E. Granted tho we jsut got back from Wall-E and Kung fu panda was 2 weeks ago so its prolly jsut fresh in his mind.

all i can say to Pixar is BRING ON CARS II
 
nada- I was hoping the movie would be so much more than this, but beyond a love story, it really wasn't.

Also I concur with you in that this was just an extreme dramatization of the course we are heading, but my problem, and what I found disturbing is that they then made it an underlying joke of the film, and tried to even draw laughter from these theme throughout the film, but in reality it wasn't funny.

WALL-E the character was great. The film he starred in was mediocre.
