A World I Wished For!

Wall E is a Pixar masterpiece that I have appreciated for a long time. The movie released after Stanton, the director made a conscious choice to make a lesser-believable, movie after a couple of believable under-water animated films. I remember, as a 9 year old, eagerly waiting for the release of this movie. Having grown in a tech-driven family, all Pixar movies were always eagerly awaited.

Going through the movie, I especially appreciated the direction out of all the previous Stanton movies I had seen. This was because many of the characters in the movie do not even have voices. Most communication happens through body movements, body language, and minimal robotic sounds. This movie also represents an idealistic world. Shunning consumerism, moving towards a genuine, intellectual society, are things that I loved about the movie. This movie reminds me of my simpler life at the age of nine, where my dad took me on ice cream dates and we discussed ideological theories through movies and other sources. Thus, watching Wall E again, after so many days, was a delightful nostalgic ride.
