WALL-E

Too much garbage in your face? There’s plenty of space out in space!
23 October 2017

This has to be the biggest gamble ever taken by Pixar. It takes giant balls to make a kids film without dialogue for the whole first third.

And yet it works. Sure it goes off the boil at times but WALL-E is a profound and beautiful masterpiece, truly an inspired piece of work. Stanton focuses on the minutia of humanity and uses it to hold up a mirror to it. How something can be so glum and yet so uplifting is a miracle.

A work of genius.
