Crushinator gives this movie two thumbs up
We did eventually see something in the Edinburgh Film Festival, though it was pretty last minute. We saw WALL·E on the last day of the festival at the midday screening at the Filmhouse.
The audience was full of parents and little kids. I was fully expecting to see someone from my work there. It was exactly the intersection of geeky interest and child-friendly that I’d expect to draw my colleagues, who all seem to have kids. But no!
The film was great though. It managed to take the central character of a robotic can crusher and create a romance. Pixar’s ability to create emotion and expression never ceases to amaze. Not to mention our own ability to fall for their animated charms as if they were real people.
Also, contains the most intelligent cockroach ever to appear on the silver screen.
