                                     WALL•E
                                        
Bunny, Mark [1] and I went to see “WALL•E [2], the latest Pixar [3] film
about a love story between two robots, who also happen to save the world. 

The reviews are right—this is a fantastic film (albeit one that may piss off
the far-right crowd for its message of pro-environmentalism and anti-
consumerism as much as “The Incredibles [4] pissed off the far-left crowd for
its message of individual self-reliance and strong family values) that
doesn't waste a moment of screen time. It's amazing just how emotive Pixar
made the robots (which don't really speak as such). It's just incredible
story telling; so much with so little dialog that it could be a silent film
and still be just as good [5]. 

What I haven't seen in the reviews is mention of the opening cartoon, also by
Pixar. I don't recall the name of the opening cartoon, but it was one of, if
not the, funniest cartoons I've ever seen, about a stage magician and his
rather hungry bunny. The entire theater was rolling on the floor in laughter
during this cartoon (and this one had no dialog what-so-ever). 

Both are well worth watching.
