WALL-EEEEEEEEEE!

As the title would indicate, I just came from watching this very beautiful animated story. Not only does it meet the standard of Nemo and The Incredibles, you even come away with some very strong modern day messages.

Wall-E ( I am not telling you what it stands for and spoil your fun) is a wide eyed, rust buckety and curious robot. The eyes kept reminding me of the famous E.T. Anyways, he here is in a desolate wasteland, chugging away at a designated task that holds no meaning and beginning to develop a quirky personality and utter loneliness, with only a insect for company.

Enter the love interest - beautiful, streamlined, advanced - EVA. And Wall-E falls for her with all his bolts and nuts! But its not that simple. In EVA's mission lies the history of Wall-E's existence and the future of mankind. A little sapling of life then takes these two in an incredible journey, where they fall in love and save the earth!

Sounds like a simple Hollywood flick? NO Sir! Running in the backdrop of this sweet and mostly funny story is the theme of modern day consumerism, carbon foot prints, depleting resources, and all other environmental issues that concern us today.

So do go and see this story. If you are a kid at heart, you will enjoy the well made animation. If you are the environmentally conscious kind, you will come away marveling at how the messages have been delivered couched in a simple children's animation. As everybody ends up saying in the movie, "WAAAAALLLLL-EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

We have seen the promos here in India are awaiting the release with baited breath. We would have watched it anyway as we ie. me and my hubby are animation junkies. But the good news for my GREEN heart (in more ways than one)is that it says a lot of things about protecting the earth. looking forward to the release now.
