Review: "Wall-e"

28 June 2008 1:20 PM, PDT | From screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news

Seen on: June 27, 2008

The players: Director: Andrew Stanton, Writer: Andrew Stanton, Cast: Benjamin Burtt, Jeff Garlin, Elissa Knight, Fred Willard, John Ratzenberger

Facts of interest: Stanton also directed "Finding Nemo" and co-directed "A Bug's Life."

The plot: The story focuses on a little robot who's programed to compress trash but finds a new purpose in his existence when he falls in love with a droid from space. 

Our thoughts: “Wall-e” is not necessarily my favorite Pixar flick (I’ll stick with “The Incredibles” for now), but it’s undoubtedly another wonderful animated family adventure that will enchant youngsters and grown-ups alike. Just as any other masterpiece the folks over at Pixar have developed over the past years, the film combines striking visuals with a heartwarming story to send cinemagoers on a ride they’ll never forget. Who thought a little robot could steal our hearts that quickly?

Wall-e Mania! With $23M Friday & a likely $66M weekend, ‘Wall-e’ scores 3rd-biggest Pixar opening ever!; ‘Wanted’ blows past expectations with $18.5M Friday & $48M weekend for all-time 7th-best R-rated opening!

Friday 10:00 p.m. (Pacific): Pixar has again demonstrated its animation prowess with the impeccably reviewed Wall-e (Disney). With critics falling all over themselves to anoint the movie as a masterpiece (97% Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes and 92% Positive on MetaCritic), my sources tell me that audiences are responding in a huge way. Wall-e has scored a meteoric $23M Friday, and that will likely translate to an extraordinary $66M opening weekend, making it the all-time 3rd-biggest Pixar opening. All-time Best Pixar Openings 1. The Incredibles - $70.4M opening 2. Finding Nemo - $70.2M opening 3. Wall-e - $66M opening (estimate) 4. Monsters Inc. - $62.5M opening 5. Cars - $60.1M opening 6. Toy Story 2 - $57.3M opening (1st weekend wide) 7. Ratatouille - $47M opening 8. A Bug’s Life - $33.1M opening (1st weekend wide) 9. Toy Story - $29.1M opening

Andrew Stanton

Writer-director Andrew Stanton got in on the ground floor at animation studio Pixar and apparently never looked back. He's been involved in virtually all things Pixar for the past decade and a half; he co-directed A Bug's Life (with John Lasseter) and Finding Nemo (with Lee Unkrich), collaborated on the scripts for the Toy Story movies, A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc., and Finding Nemo, and provided voices for almost all the above, plus Cars and The Incredibles. This year sees the release of his first solo writing-directing project, the Pixar picture Wall•E, about a trash-compacting robot still doing his job after 700 years alone on an abandoned Earth. The A.V. Club recently spoke with Stanton about the Pixar mentality, making live-action films in slow-motion, Wall•E's resemblance to another movie robot, and why Wall•E is so obsessed with the Barbra Streisand movie Hello, Dolly! The A.V. Club: The.
