I wasn't all that interested in WALL-E based on the trailers I saw, but I knew one thing: the movie was being made by Pixar. That alone is enough to get me to the theater, although I admit it's taken me a while to learn that lesson. I think the only mistake Pixar has ever made was the vocal casting in Finding Nemo (but I know I'm a minority on that one). So, Ric and I ran out to see the movie in its opening weekend.

Now, I have almost no anticipation for the rest of the summer, because I'm pretty sure I just saw the best movie that the summer has to offer. Am I exaggerating? I don't think so. WALL-E is full of creativity, made me feel more than I've felt at any movie this year, and was the simplest and most complex movie I've seen this summer. It could melt the coldest of hearts and is enjoyable for all ages. What else could you ask for?

Shoot. I've got to get to an appointment. Here's the quick lowdown. The movie is funny, sad, romantic, adventurous, and many other emotions rolled into one. It's a timely piece that criticizes our current generation. It looks wonderful and the textures are better than ever by Pixar. Even the credits look amazing.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and sing its praises to everyone. And now, the generic entertainment magazine quote, which is entirely appropriate here: if you see one movie this summer, see WALL-E.

Gotta run!
