Pixar do know how to make a good film. (One very notable thing they do is in their trailers: they do not hype up big names in the movie (if any). And they do have some big names in this movie...)

Anyway, Wall-interpunct-E is the story of a lonely robot who just wants a friend (or possibly "friend"), just someone to hold hands with. One might say "be careful what you wish for"...

Cute movie, and one that drew laughs from the audience (although there were more during the pre-movie short - yep, there's a pre-movie shoot. Neat!). Pixar go all-out with investing their animations with emotions and realism (as far as such realism can go) and given that we are dealing with robots, they really get a chance to shine. And definitely shine they do. Yowsa, that's good animation.

One surprise guest: Fred Willard! Great to see him suddenly pop up, and such a role made for him. There are other big names in there, but I'll leave you to find them out for themselves (as for the computer...).

As feel good as any other Pixar (although I never did get around to watching Cars, but that just seemed to generic "rich kid finds himself in city of non-rich kids"), and definitely a great way to spend a few hours.
