Everything is well done, especially the emotions of Wall-E and Eve. Quite a feat.
not a word spoken for almost the first 50% of the movie!
agreed, its just perfect. it belongs in the ‘classic’ category.
I remember being quite taken aback when the live action segments appeared. Really wasn’t expecting that from a Pixar film.

Pixar has a ton of good movies, but Wall-E is hands down my favorite. So much is communicated without words it’s just amazing. Not to mention, the movie is absolutely beautiful. The scene with them flying around in space with the fire extinguisher is just 🤌
To get a third (or half?) of the way through a film before having any dialogue (ignoring WALL-E watching Hello Dolly!) is a real exhibition of the “show don’t tell” advice.
Have you seen the short BURN·E?
So many nerdy references, it is masterfully crafted with love!
Like when he finishes charging early in the movie, he makes the Macintosh boot-up sound. It’s so easy to miss those kinds of things, but when you notice them, you really appreciate them.
Breaking Bad was like that - like a love letter to the viewers. So very many shows, most even, just don’t give a damn and instead are purely about profit, like Game of Thrones (I hear, never having watched that one), where you can see such things as Starbucks coffee cups or plastic water bottles that break the immersion.
So it makes Wall-E all the more special to have been crafted so extraordinary well.
