WALL●E
Jen and I saw
this today and were blown away. This is probably Pixar's best film to date with so many levels it has something for everyone.
Well worth seeing on the big screen.
The articulation and kinematics of the robots are spot on and Pixar's caricatures of people are wonderful -- the human personality comes through even though you know it is a cartoon.
Ben Burt did the voice of WALL●E -- he has worked on some
other interesting projects.
The score by
Thomas Newman was excellent. He is getting to be one of my favorite composers for film (along with
Hans Zimmer,
John Williams and of course
Jerry Goldsmith,
Bernard Hermann and
Basil Poledouris)
Be sure to get there in time for the opening cartoon -- Jen and I were laughing non-stop. Also stay for the closing credits -- the first part was beautiful and the second part was a lot of fun with all sorts of 8-bit video game characters running through the scroll.
