Wall-E is the work that I have been expected but haven't encountered for the past several years. Andrew Stanton and Jim Reardon are really making some kind of miracle and enduring classic together by lifting up the audience with humor, heartbreak and ravishing romance. Watch trailer here.

The words "Instant Classic" are thrown around far too lightly, but Wall*E is one. Clunky, junky boy robot meets sleek, pragmatic (and deadly -she's got an awful itchy trigger finger) girl robot. Stellar animation wedded to what I dare to say is one of the greatest screen romances of all time.

There is a blatant hypocrisy here with this film. It is warning us about the copious amounts of trash and over-consumption, but we look around and see daily all the toys based on these characters, from the shelves of Wal-Mart to Happy Meal boxes at McDonalds.

Unless you live with NOTHING but the necessities in life, YOU are a hypocrite! C'mon! It's a fantastic little movie with a very good message.

By the way, Mickey D's is givin' away Transformers in their Happy Meals NOT Wall-E toys. I always pay attention to those commercials because the free toy that came with my Happy Meal kinda sucked (except for those Super Mario 3 ones. Specifically the jumping Raccoon-tail Mario. They were actually pretty well made). We didn't get real Transformers, we got a hot cakes and sausage, fries or a Big Mac that changed into a robot! Who the crap wants to play with a freakin' Big Mac? I mean, what the crap is it supposed to do when it's in sandwich form?!

Hahahaha yes! I haven't eaten at McDonalds since I was kid, primarily because I pay for my food now and I if wanted to eat shit, well, you get the idea. But it brings back good memories. There were some other Happy Meal toys I thought were nifty, but I was a kid at the time, like the Lion King ones. http://happymeal.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
