Visual storytelling enjoyable for all ages
Most people disagree with me, but this is my favorite Pixar film. I love visual storytelling and that's what this film does so well. The music and sound is incredible. Although some see this movie as having an agenda, I saw it as merely conscientiously promoting an eco-friendly world. Most younger kids will enjoy the little robot, and most older kids will enjoy the storytelling and subtle humor throughout the film.

A Wonderful, Wonder-filled Family Film!
As of today, I've seen every PIXAR movie that's come out, and none of them have been a disappointment. WALL-E is one of the best ones. While not as charming as THE INCREDIBLES or effortlessly funny as FINDING NEMO, it is a moving, engaging film that adults will love just as much as kids.
There is nothing really innapropriate about this movie. There are some threatening scenes and some explosions, but no one is hurt and it is all toned down for little kids. All of the messages are positive and range from being green to believing in yourself.

oh,please
this is a movie! not real life. of course it will be overrated and probably extremely dorky or dumb, but when you take your five year old to see dora the explorer, do you get mad and trash the movie on some reveiw site because it was BORING and made no sense???!!! of course you dont. you ask the five year old if the movie was good and the take her out for icecream, you get on with life. this is a kids movie! and, it was not that bad. i think this is one of pixar's best movies and everyone in my family does too. if anyone of you stuck up adults didnt like this movie, then never see a g rated movie again and cause the people that actually DID like the movie less problems so they dont have to spend ten minutes on the computer telling you to DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!!!!

BORING!!!! WASTE OF TIME, MONEY, AND BRAIN CELLS. THE QUEEN BEE OF OVERRATED FILMS. NOT EVEN FUNNY OR CUTE!
I saw this movie in the teatre with my cousins and some friends and my grandma. YECH. My Grandmother, who NEVER sleeps, fell asleep within the first five minutes and when she woke up, she thought the rest of the movie was a dream. People give this movie TOO many stars. I almost slightly barely semi-vaguely almost laughed. Not even cute. I laughed more in Saw than I did in this movie, and I hate Horror movies. This is TOO overrated. Kung Fu Panda totally should have won the Golden Globe for best animated picture. Don't waste your time!

adorable!
for a movie where the two main characters speak two or three words each, wall-e is adorable. don't think it would scare very little kids, but they wouldn't find it nearly as funny. also, they wouldn't really get a lot of the jokes- like why wall-e loses his memory. but it's really cute, pretty fun, and the boring-ish stretches are few and far between.

Great movie!
I'm suprised to see all the negative reviews. I didn't think this movie was boring at all. Our whole family loved it. It really is the cutest, most charming movie I've seen in a long time. Much better than Madagascar 2.

Pixar Creates Another Great One
Wall-E was one of my favorite movies this year. I've always been very pleased by Pixar, ever since I saw Toy Story I was hooked. For me Wall-E was one of their better films. It's deffinetly a movie for kids around 7 b/c I think they'll understand the message a little more. Nevertheless it's a great family film with good clean humor and a great story.

My son's first movie
This was the first full-length movie my son (2 1/2)saw in the theater, and I was pleased with it. He gets scared easily, and there was only one scene that he didn't like: when the rocket lands on Earth the first time. Otherwise, he seemed to enjoy the rest of it and had no trouble being entertained by the first 20 minutes of dialogue-free action.

My 4 Year Old Hated It!!!
My son was so excited to see it. We figured it was pretty safe since it was Pixar. Wrong!! He was bored after 20 minutes of it and started to ask to go home. Hating to waste money, we stuck with it through the show. It was still a waste of money. While the graphics were wonderful, the plot was completely out there and the entire thing was a political statement. If I wanted to pay $30 for a political statement, I'd buy tickets to the presidential debates. Seriously, I go to the movies to be entertained, not force fed someone's messed up version how life will be. Besides, my family already recycles, reuses, and goes to the gym several times a week.

Good life lessons
When I watched this, I was surprised at all the realism in this children's movie. It teaches lessons such as enviromentalism, compassion, and the ill affects of laziness, with consequence rather than a picture perfect example.
Wall-E was a wonderful movie for the whole family to watch together and discuss.

Excellent message lost on younger audience
We recently took our two children ages 3 and 4 to see this movie. We are always concerned about content and language as most movies rated G still have words we don't allow. This movie was a pleasant surprise. However, our kids were bored right away. Our 4 year old kept asking us "What's happening?" the entire time. Our 3 year old fell asleep! We stuck it out but felt disappointed that the movie made no sense to our kids and wouldn't for several years.
