That's my name. I'm a 20-year-old Film major who finds WALL-E to be one of the greatest American films of the decade. (You can see which other films I feel WALL-E compares to in my sig.) I think I speak for the "film buff community" when I say that I greatly admire what Pixar has given us. I admire Stanton and the rest of the crew of WALL-E even more for boldly going where no animated film has gone before: into controversial territory a la 1984 or Brazil. But besides that, the film is a very sincere romance story with quite possibly the most endearing and humane two characters I've ever seen in film (whom just happen to not be human.) Its metaphorical representation of losing one's own humanity is brilliantly conveyed by a transition from live action to animation. I also love the juxtaposition of images of an apocalyptic wasteland in sync with show tunes from Hello, Dolly! and Louis Armstrong. But enough babble; in short, the film truly (re)defines what it means to be human, and I believe it will eventually become a masterpiece classic similar to 2001 or E.T..
