The Case Against Wall:E

No discussion of Pixar would be complete without a link to Noah Millman's contrarian take on the company's latest hit. (I wondered about EVE's trigger-happiness too ...)

My problem with Millman's take is that the story is deliberately a fantasy and a fable... I never thought of it as scifi, so I didn't worry about the technological and other issues he complains about.

They don't know what kind of plants might've evolved, Ross: they could be big, horrible plants like walking sundews with big giant fangs or something.

Wall-E totally looks like the robot from "Short Circuit"... minus the cheesy 80's style of course
