Final trailer.
It's not what I expected. The trailer is great, but the film itself looks like an extended Pixar short more than any of their previous features. When I heard the film would be almost completely silent, I hoped that they would take a different, more subtle approach, but I guess I should have seen this coming. I hope they can pull it off, because I'm not sure I could stand the smartassery of their shorts for an entire feature length film.

Dave Poland attended the press presentation of the Pixar/Disney rollout plan. They were treated to

"Chaplinesque" by Hart Crane
We make our meek adjustments,
Contented with such random consolations
As the wind deposits
In slithered and too ample pockets.
For we can still love the world, who find
A famished kitten on the step, and know
Recesses for it from the fury of the street,
Or warm torn elbow coverts.
We will sidestep, and to the final smirk
Dally the doom of that inevitable thumb
That slowly chafes its puckered index toward us,
Facing the dull squint with what innocence
And what surprise!
And yet these fine collapses are not lies
More than the pirouettes of any pliant cane;
Our obsequies are, in a way, no enterprise.
We can evade you, and all else but the heart:
What blame to us if the heart live on.
The game enforces smirks; but we have seen
The moon in lonely alleys make
A grail of laughter of an empty ash can,
And through all sound of gaiety and quest
Have heard a kitten in the wilderness.

A sort of friend of a friend wrote the press kit for this movie and Disney forced him to edit any part saying that there is no dialogue in the movie. I understand how that fact would scare off some people, but it seems like a pretty huge detail to omit. It's exactly why I'm excited about it though, I know the filmmakers watched tons of Chaplin and Keaton films during Wall-E's production, and I'm sure it'll show.
Dialogue or not, Wall-E should be huge, I mean all he is is ET/R2D2. What kid wouldn't love that?

Andrew Stanton talks about his faith and the (minor) Christian themes of Wall-E.

This movie fully lived up to my highest expectations. So fun to watch, and it is so visually dense! I am looking forward to more viewings.
For me the most enjoyable section of the film is the first 30 or so dialog free minutes, think City Lights but with Chaplin being played by E.T./R2D2.
Maybe I'm still on the high from having just returned from the theatre, but I'd say it is easily Pixar's best.
Roll out the Wall-E action figures!

It IS their best work, and the short film preceding it is their best short ever. I can't wait for the dvd, and I'm sure the blu-ray will be stupendous. Just outstanding work. Many times I got pretty emotional toward the end, and if they really wanted to, they could've gone Bambi with it, but alas it's still a truly wonderful film... And has any other team gone nine straight opening weekends at #1? Wow.

Amazing film. It's hard for me to call it their best work because I still have a soft spot for Finding Nemo. But is there anything Pixar can't do? I wonderful film from start to finish that lived up the hype and I can see still feeling fresh with each viewing. This is one of the first films in a long time I'm thinking about seeing again in a theater.
