"perhaps Pixar's most romantic film yet -- a beautiful sci-fi tale complete with all the feel-good vibes and fantastic, cutting-edge visuals we've come to expect from a film wearing the Pixar name. Despite a few small bumps in the galaxy, WALL-E can easily claim a spot up top on a list featuring the best films of the year so far, and it will surely go down as one of Pixar's most memorable -- because it's also one of their most personal."

Pixar's ninth consecutive wonder of the animated world is a simple yet deeply imagined piece of speculative fiction. Despite the decade-plus since its inception, "WALL-E" is a film very much of its moment, although in a cheeky, uninsistent way; it has plenty to say, but does so in a light, insouciant manner that allows you to take the message or leave it on the table. Adroitly borrowing from many artistic sources and synthesizing innumerable influences, Pixar stalwart Andrew Stanton's first directorial outing since "Finding Nemo" walks a fine line between the rarefied and the immediately accessible as it explores new territory for animation, yet remains sufficiently crowd-pleasing to indicate celestial B.O. for this G-rated summer offering.

This is getting to sound like a broken record: Pixar Animation Studios has just topped itself. Again. In "Wall-E," following the sublime culinary slapstick of "Ratatouille," Pixar and director/writer Andrew Stanton -- officially the studio's ninth employee way back when -- have spun a whimsical sci-fi fantasy about robots 800 years into the future that has all the heart, soul, spirit and romance of the very best silent movies 60 years ago.

The film is so clever and sophisticated that you worry, slightly, that it may be too clever to connect with mainstream audiences. But like those worries last year that having a rat for a hero in "Ratatouille" might throw off audiences, "Wall-E" is so sweet and funny that the multitudes will undoubtedly surrender to its many charms.

While perfection can be characterized in many ways, theres only one way to define perfect in the world of film: a picture that has everything you could ask for with nothing you could cut. Though this is a highly unlikely proposition, WALL-EÂ has become 2008s first perfect film and one of the best Pixar projects of all time.

the latest Disney-Pixar collaboration deserves to be ranked among the greatest science-fiction films.
Second [...] "WALL-E" is the finest Buster Keaton film in 80 years.
The movie's opening recalls the heyday of silent comedy because little WALL-E has no one to talk to.
[...]youngsters likely will find "WALL-E" more appealing than last summer's "Ratatouille." From the way he furrows his eyepieces to all his preverbal beeps and chortles, WALL-E is an adorable character even though he looks like scrap metal. WALL-E owes a lot to R2-D2 in this regard - more than you realize. His "voice" is provided by Ben Burtt, sound designer on all six "Star Wars" movies.
"WALL-E" is so much more than a cute robot cartoon, of course. Even by Pixar's Olympian standards, "WALL-E" touches the stars in artistry and entertainment value. Each frame is so dense with detail - particularly the photorealism of the Earth segments - that you know freeze frame buttons will get a workout once this hits DVD. [...]
But the film's most breathtaking moments come in the quiet, comic grace of the opening. If you can imagine Buster Keaton as a small box with binoculars for eyes and tank treads for legs - and "WALL-E" makes this easy to imagine - then the movie's first half represents the purest visual storytelling since movies started to talk.

Don't Be Afraid. You Won't Be Alone Calling This A Masterpiece!

In fact, dreaming up any kind of monologue to describe its brilliance or to exasberate its sheen artistic value can never do the justice that your own senses will be able to bask in starting from the animated short that precedes it and right through its final audible sendoff. The words genius and masterpiece are all too flaunted about in modern cinema history, but if you dont walk out of WALL-E uttering those terms or some variation on them then you must be on the way to your day job as an extra on the set of Idiocracy.

Not since Titanic will you have heard two prospective partners cry out each others names with as much longing (and frequency) and if theres any karma, fate, or pure love out there to believe in than WALL-E will equal its attendance and then some.
-E-Filmcritic
With its lack of dialogue, inventive visual comedy and satirical view of working life, the first half of the movie could be an animated addendum to Charlie Chaplin's "Modern Times," which also used music and sound effects but no dialogue.
-Suburban Chicago News
Just when you thought Pixar Animation couldn't possibly top their last great achievement, they've created a piece of artistic storytelling that's so above and beyond anything that's come before that it truly deserves the audacious label of "pure genius."
[...]
With mere synthesized bleeps and bloops and the occasional word, sound FX expert Benn Burtt has created a character that stands up not only to some of Pixar's most beloved, but also classic Disney characters going back to Mickey Mouse.
[...]
Stanton and Pixar have achieved a new plateau in their craft, creating what's destined to be a beloved classic, right up there with the likes of "Snow White," "Bambi" and "Cinderella," and one that similarly will be held close to many hearts for decades to come.
