WALL·E

This latest achievement from Disney’s Pixar Studios rotates around a rusty little robotic hero who’s built, as the movie is, with...

Pixar’s WALLE succeeds at being three things at once: an enthralling animated film, a visual wonderment and a decent science-fiction story.

WALLE is so unlike anything else Pixar has ever done I’m not even sure where to begin.

Like Charlie Chaplin’s best silents – a clear influence – WALL-E is pure visual magic. As a bonus, it packs a wicked sati...

The confidence and skill with which Stanton’s team have extended the parameters of their art form are amazing.

By turns sad, hilarious, exciting and, ultimately, hopeful, this is a film of Great Truths masquerading as child’s play.

WALL-E is yet another notch in Pixar’s computer-animation belt, and it’s one of the better entries, with greater emotional resonance th...

A rich and provocative work of art that manages to be fun.

While the film’s most daring gambits pay off in full, the inclusion of a standard outwit-the-bad-guys storyline dulls the magic that WAL...

Put simply, WALL-E is about as charming as movies get.

The new Pixar picture Wall-E is one for the ages, a masterpiece to be savored before or after the end of the world – assuming, like the title...

WALL-E is a classic, but it will never appeal to people who are happy with art only when it has as little bite as possible.

Wall-E is an improbable delight, a G-rated crowd-pleaser that seems poised to pack theaters as efficiently as the titular robot crams his chest cav...

A beautiful film that makes us proud of the species that created it, even as we root for the robot who inadvertently saves us from ourselves

Does Andrew Stanton’s film amount to much more than a brilliant aesthetic exercise? I’m not convinced it does.

Although Wall-E ends with a very apt and moving nod to City Lights, it is in fact Pixar’s answer to Modern Times-both a bravura summatio...

The greatest of all films by Pixar Animation, the little Disney studio with the Midas touch.

I wonder a little what kids will make of the long silence of the first half followed by the disorienting mania of the second, but there&rsquo...

The most consistent production unit in Hollywood just hit another home run.

It’s Pixar’s most daring experiment to date, but it still fits neatly into the studio’s pantheon: Made with as much focus on hear...

The idea that an ancient Hollywood musical, with its love duets and foot-tapping dance numbers, would be the thing that awakens emotions in both hu...

Pixar’s robot romance is crazily inventive, deliriously engaging and emotionally true.

If anyone doubted that Pixar is the most creative outfit in modern motion pictures, this movie should convince them. It is a genuine masterpie...

Slapstick, adventure and love are all familiar elements in animated family films. Awe, existential themes and wholesale worldbuilding are not … Eve...

It whisks you to another world, then makes it every inch our own.

Finding Nemo director Andrew Stanton tops himself with this adorably loopy Pixar animation that sends up consumerism, musicals, Apple computers, an...

The animation is stunning; the landscapes of the futuristic Earth offer the Pixar folks ample opportunity to show off their wares.

For once, the artful nods to Huxley, Kubrick and Philip K. Dick are not the preserve of trainspotters.

The attention to detail – always a Pixar hallmark – is amazing, and Stanton and his crew incorporate surprising elements that mix vi...

This is getting to sound like a broken record: Pixar Animation Studios has just topped itself. Again.

Much of the joy here comes from the aesthetic clash between the metallic sweethearts.

You’d have to be a machine for your heart not to melt.

Praise Pixar for trying to raise the stakes, but the longer the film goes on the more one appreciates the impact of that amazing first half-hour.

The power of WALL-E as a character, the poetic figure of the robot drawn to human splendor, remains powerful throughout – and Pixar&rsquo...

I must drop my inhibitions about dropping the M word – especially since I’ve already used magnificent – and call WALL-E the ma...

The best American film of the year to date.

It indeed feels 'new', moving out of Pixar’s comfort zone while retaining the brand’s populist virtues: loveable characters, crafted jo...

WALL-E goes beyond inviting comparisons to E.T., Number 5, R2D2, even Chaplin’s Little Tramp--the Waste Allocation Load Lifter relies on them...

It is, undoubtedly, an earnest (though far from simplistic) ecological parable, but it is also a disarmingly sweet and simple love story, Chap...

Some day, there will be college courses devoted to this movie.

Daring and traditional, groundbreaking and familiar, apocalyptic and sentimental, Wall-E gains strength from embracing contradictions that would de...

Much of the film is wonderfully imagined, and there is something utterly winning about this tin can topped with binoculars… It’s just a...

Absolute heaven.
