No secret that the only reason I ever get to go to the movies is to see kid films, but I think this is the first time I’m actually blogging about one. Went to see WallE this weekend and I’ve got to say that it’s one of the best I’ve seen in a while.
It’s futuristic yet nostalgic. There’s very little dialogue in the movie, yet it still manages to take you through a variety of emotions. Never thought a movie about robots could do that. But then again, I didn’t think a movie about talking clown fish would do that to me either.
Estrogen definitely kicked in for me whenever Barbara Streisand was in the background singing It Only Takes a Moment: “And we’ll recall when time runs out, that it only took a moment, to be loved a whole life long.”
But I have to admit that as emotional as those lines may be, it still doesn’t compare to how my heart jumped when I heard WallE’s “fully-charged” sound.

I’m with you. I don’t even go to movies often but I found this one to be very endearing and my grandson loves it and everything WALLE. Even his father enjoyed it although for different reasons. I think Disney Pixae has a winner in this movie. Although listening to him run around the house saying Waaalll..e gets pretty annoying. LOL

it was a good movie and it did take me through a whole bunch of flavorful emotions, but i cant fully enjoy it with out dialogue, but then it would not be the same there is no way to make it perfect. I did enjoy eves eyes they provide a lot of info.
