Review: ‘Wall-E’ is the best of the year

The most consistent production module in Hollywood just hit another home run.

Over the last decade, Pixar has become a byword for quality, combining cutting-edge digital animation with depth of unexpected, slapstick comedy and rich, engrossing storytelling that appeals equally to kids and adults. "Wall-E" has all of that and more.

Written and directed through Andrew Stanton ("Finding Nemo"), it’s Pixar’s most ambitious movie and an instant classic.

Wall-E is a solar-powered waste drone, the mould one still operating on an abandoned toxic planet that looks an awful allowance a a good like — well, is — Earth. A rusty box sitting on caterpillar tracks, with a retractable binocular-shaped head, he compresses junk into building blocks and then piles them up into towers that are shadow-skyscrapers of waste in the ruins of an unidentified city.

Electronic billboards still plug deceased products and train us up to speed handily: Having polluted the planet with more waste than it could handle, globo-corporation Buy N Large evacuated its customers on a five-year space cruise ("The final fun-tier," promises the president, played by Fred Willard), leaving the robots to clean up the intrude in. Only their calculations were a little off. It’s been 700 years, and Wall-E is in any event at being done.
