But I’m a bastard. Maybe Johnny 5 will deliver and it’ll be so good I’ll regret being cynical.

Very human, emotional themes but told through completely alien characters.  What a wonderful, inspired world – full of interesting design and (already) a good deal of inspired character and emotion.

I can tell already that this might be their best film yet.  They’ve been experimenting in this direction for so long and now they’re FREE of the conventional shackles.  I hope they are rewarded for it, I really do.  This could really help to change the way studios think about packaging blockbusters.  At least for kids. 

Kids movies always try to be smarter – in fact they’re usually a lot more clever than popcorn movies for adults.  (Zathura being a standout, also Monster House) — but the the best ones often slip through the cracks.

I hope Wall-E kicks ass.  It should be said, that before this preview, I did not really care at all about this movie, other than being curious since I am generally a fan of Pixar.  But man, did this earn my respect.

Amazing.

For me, personally, these guys have had a couple duds in a row. Finding Nemo has gotta be in my top 20 of all time, but the more I see of this, the more I’m looking forward to Toy Story 3… </p> Boy, I really don’t see it yet.
