Favorite Animation: Wall-E

Wall-E beat Kungfu Panda to win the Oscar for Animated Feature and that in itself tells a great deal about the caliber of this animation from Pixar. At that time there were a lot of talks going on about the fear that Pixar may lose it sense of identity with the acquisition from Disney in 2006, but I am glad that Disney would not interfere with the creative direction of Pixar but Disney may have interfered (I don't know). The only thing that I know is that both Ratatouille and Wall-E are a masterpiece and these two animations came out after the acquisition.

The story takes place in a dystopian future where we follows a robot, Wall-E of course, who is left alone on earth and continues his daily routine of cleaning up the waste. He meets another sleek robot Eve who is sent to scan the earth for something which I won't spoil here if you haven't watched it yet. Wall-E and Eve later go on a mission across the galaxy to change the fate of the earth. Does it sound like Interstellar?

The idea of 2 robots interacting in a dialogue-free animation for the the first 30 minute just doesn't work on paper, but Pixar somehow finds a way to do another brilliant job here with a beautiful and emotional touch. Again, the first 30 minutes is a bit slow which may not go well with the kids but to some adults, it is probably the best part of this animation.

Another special part is that my jaw "literally" dropped at the end of this animation. If you love animation and especially if you are a big fan of Pixar like I am, I definitely recommend that you check out this masterpiece as soon as possible.

PS: I can't wait for "The Good Dinosaur".

Quote of Wall-E: "I don't want to survive. I want to live."
