Pixar's stories aren't all ROMANTIC love stories.

Actually, that's one of the things I've really liked about their movies. A Bugs Life and Cars are romantic love stories, but they don't always resort to that. Their other movies aren't.

Maybe it'll be great in Wall-E, it just seems a little weird in the trailer is all.

Wall-E looks cute but his voice sounds a little creepy. .

Well, by that measure NONE of the Pixar movies are really romantic love stories. Even in Bug's Life and Cars it's a minor element that contributes to the larger whole. The closest thing Pixar has some to a movie centered around a love story would be The Incredibles, and even that is more about family love than romantic love.

I'm betting that the relationship between Eve and Wall-E is still pretty minor. I'd guess that it dominates the first part of the movie and is what brings Wall-E into the bigger picture, but once he's back to civilization he has a larger purpose to fulfill.

From the tone of the reviews, this may be their best movie yet. How the heck can they keep topping themselves?

I'd just like to point out that (according to the review at least) it sounds as if Deus was right about the WALL-E/EVE love story.

Anyhoo...can't wait to view this film.

I'm pretty much gonna put my money on this being my favorite movie so far this year. Sadly though the only really fantastic 10/10 I've given this year is Sarah Marshall... Hopefully this, Batman and Hellboy will finally kick start this year.

Yeah and I wouldnt even totally classify A Bugs Life and Cars as full-on love stories. Sure, there's elements of romance introduced in both stories but the importance of friendship stands out much more to me with both of those movies than the love stories do. I feel like thats the most common theme in pixar movies - friendship... that and finding your place in the world.

I'm so excited about Wall-E!

5. What movie will bring in more money: Iron Man, Indiana Jones and the Long Title, or The Dark Knight?

Doesn't matter cause Wall-E's gonna kick Summer butt.
Yeah, you heard it here first, even Bat butt. With it's "G" rating firmly in pocket, Pixar's rep, and excellent marketing, there's no stopping it. The only real limitation is how many screens it'll be on in it's 3900 theaters. This thing could open in Apex Idaho and it'd pack 'em in. I'm sticking my neck out (whoa, big career risk there) and guessing between $150 & $200 million the first weekend.

I dunno. Ratatouille was a hit, but it only landed at #11 for the year-- I think it was a bit too intellectual for people who prefer fart humor for their children. On the other hand, Finding Nemo was #2 in 2003, and the biggest hit of the summer so far. On a third hand, a movie about talking families of fish might have more appeal than mostly silent movie about robots. Remember, uh, Robots?

Wall-E will be a hit, that's for sure. But it might suffer from Pixar's diminishing returns from people who prefer more idiocy in their family entertainment.
