Saw this movie tonight at the El Capitan in Hollywood. I'd never been there before. It was amazing. Disney bought this theater a while back and spent $10M refurbishing it. It's amazing. When we walked in, there was a guy in the middle of the stage with his back to the crowd playing a gigantic organ that lowered through the floor of the stage when he finished. Before the movie, they had a cartoon. Then they had a dance routine with several characters from various Disney animated movies. Disney made the trip to the theater as fun as the movie itself. It didn't hurt that Will Smith was outside for the premiere of his new movie. It was fun to see him, too.
Anyway, back to Wall E. The movie was fantastic. It had a lot of undertone messages that were the point of the movie, but never directly spelled out to the viewer. They just assumed you'd get the hint. You'll know what I'm talking about when you see it. Being a Disney/Pixar movie, you know it's going to be squeaky clean.
For storyline, I'd give this movie an A especially because of the use of dialogue (or lack of it) to get communicate. They did an amazing job.
For animation, I'd give this movie an A+. It was so good that I was kind of distracted by how real everything looked.
Not sure how else to rate it. Overall, I give it a big thumbs up with or without children. Probably a good date movie because there is a little romance worked in throughout the movie.
Enjoy!

Dennis- I've never been to that theater either and didn't know Disney bought it. I'll have to check it out some time. Thanks for the movie review! It sounds like a good kids' movie. Ratatouille is one of my favorites. What can I say... I'm a kid at heart
