WALL-E is great fun!

No spoiler review above the cut but I thought it was, like most Pixar movies, very well done! Also, the credits astonished me in their command of artistry.

Interesting character designs. Some great contrasts.

If you've seen the movie, you're probably aware of the main characters by now - WALL-E, last surviving of his series and last robot on Earth, a small, cute and lovable character despite being basically a metal box on tracks - and EVE, a curvy (literally) ovoid robot with flight and a built-in blaster. WALL-E is basically helpless but endearing in his sincerity and persistence; EVE is the strong character, oddly.

Think about it this way, if they were humans, WALL-E would be basically a nebbish-looking janitor and EVE would be the powerhouse corporate executive.

Strange thought.

Hmm, good point... Eve was very iPod-ish indeed! But it was her irateness that made me think 'corporate exec' - she'd be the the kind to wear a business suit at least. Bank auditor, sorta. Or Scully, from X-Files.

'Elite scout' seems like it's just casting Eve as a character from a different game, as it were, while I was trying to find some present-day setting analogue.
