I watched it with my cousins, they loved it! Except there was one of my cousin (his name is Ainul) who felt asleep during the movie!!! I already post this, but I didn't tell you what happened next. When the credit rolls, I told them that Ainul felt asleep and - poor Ainul - everybody laugh and being sarcastically ask him how could he fall asleep? What kind of stupid movie that will keeping him awake? I never planned to bully him, but all my cousin find it very funny. I kinda feel bad to Ainul, but he watched KFP three times already and he loves it. So I guess Wall-E was being too sophisticated for him.

Just about everyone I know thought it was ok, but hell, I'm forcing everyone I know to watch it a 2nd time, cause its always better the 2nd time ;D Haha, you sound like me! My family and friends get an EARFUL about how much I love Wall-E quite often. Let's see...my dad, step-mom, mom, older brother, and younger brothers like it, and my l'il sis loves it. She often INSISTS we play "Wall-E", which means playing through her version of the plot. She gets some parts right, such as the hand holding at the end, but most of it is...well, let's just say it departs from the source material quite a lot ;D I have a couple online friends who like it--I'm not sure what my school buddies think yet--but my boyfriend dislikes it. He used to hate it, but I'd like to think spending time with me going on about it has lessened his distaste for it.

Not necessarily with WALL-E, but with other films (sorry, to break off subject, but some people on imdb say that they would act out the transformation sequence in Beauty and the Beast, and another said she and her cousin would act out Disney's "Hunchback." Heck, even I did stuff like that.) What exactly does your little sister do? (And does she even get the romantic parts? And if so, how embarrassing is it?)

Overall, my family and some friends liked it.
My mom and brothers have all seen it more than once. Me and my brothers talk about this movie all the time, and my mom talks about it from time to time.
My Dad saw it on opening weekend with us, and I think he liked it. He didn't see it with us again, but he did say that he really liked the contrast between the abondoned Earth and the futuristic Axiom.
My Grandparents have mixed views. My Grandma loved the movie, laughing throughout the whole movie. She especially liked the Repair Ward robots, and refrenced the movie several times on the way home. (Such as, "If you could grow pizza seeds, I think I'd take up gardening.") However, my Grandpa fell asleep multiple times during the movie, and when we left said, "That was a once in a lifetime movie...as in it should only be watched once." That made me a little mad...but his loss.
A couple of my friends liked it, especially one of my neighbors. We talked about all the funny parts of the movie one time while we were walking home from school. However, the rest of my friends dissapoint me a bit. Most of them have seen it, but say things like, "Get Smart was funnier," or "It was OK for an animated movie."
By the way, this is my second post. (My first was in the New Members board) So, hello!

That's sad about your grandpa. It's odd that this movie seems to have much less appeal, it seems, to the elderly (vanessa notwithstanding - joking JOKING don't kill me it had to be done, I know you're not that old ;D). Perhaps it has something to do with them not being able to connect with the characters due to viewing them as "machines".

Okay, you're old, but you're not elderly yet. Elderly people are less than epic. (Not really, but it does seem the majority of negatives I've heard are from "grandparent" stories.)

Eh. I feel elderly and grouchy sometimes. "Darn kids today. What's the world coming to? In my day, all we had Walt Disney and Warner Brothers reruns, and we were happy to have 'em. None of this fansy-schmantzy compoooter stuff. Why we had to walk 10 miles uphill, both ways, just to see 'The Black Cauldron.' Kids today with their 6 animated films each summer. Bah!" Hee, hee . . .

Hee, hee . . . I LOVED those days. Too bad they only lasted up until I was like, 8 years old...by the time we finally got The Disney Channel, those days were over. Oh, and you win just for mentioning The Black Cauldron. Love that movie.

Okay, my roommate just saw it for the first time (on the internet) and I had to sit and watch it with her. Well, we had to stop about 2/3 of the way through to get some lunch, but she liked it! I asked her during lunch how she liked it so far, and she just said, right away, "It's really good!" Well, this is what she was saying while we watched...spoilers follow, but then I think everyone here's seen the movie already. *almost any scene with WALL-E* "Awww...." *EVE shoots the giant whatevers and they explode* "Destructive chick, isn't she?" *scene with WALL-E showing EVE his "treasures:* laughter and "Awww" *EVE shuts down first time* "aww...no..." Then there were miscellaneous scenes where she laughed, or awww-ed... And at one point she said "Oh! She's had the screen in front of her face for so long she doesn't notice her surroundings!" (Me: "yup!) When the rogue robots follow WALL-E and EVE to the Lido-Den(?): "So, why are they all following them?" (The only answer I could give was that they liked WALL-E (he set them free!), they may like the music, or maybe, just maybe, somewhere in their minds, they know that something is wrong.) And then when WALL-E fell and started to get crushed, she was all *GASP!* At the end, I told her "You know, soooo many people cried in the last few scenes." To which her response was "Yeah. I was about to, but I held back because this is Disney and they wouldn't be so mean to us like that!" Sorry if this story bored anyone.

(The only answer I could give was that they liked WALL-E (he set them free!), they may like the music, or maybe, just maybe, somewhere in their minds, they know that something is wrong.) I think the robots recognized the song, and recognized that WALL-E and EVE, the two robots that had set them free (in more ways than one) were the only ones that would be playing that song.

What exactly does your little sister do? (And does she even get the romantic parts? And if so, how embarrassing is it?) This is how the plot generally goes: I'm Wall-E and she's Eve, and we're either both on Earth for some reason or I'm alone and she comes in the rocket (she only did it right once, I think). Then, she points to a patch of sand and calls it the plant, and I gather the sand into one of her shoes. I present the "plant" to Eve, who shuts down. She insists I put my ear on her and listen (like Wall-E did, when he was trying to find out what was wrong). I carry her over to the sunlight (Wall-E's truck is a hammock in the shade of a tree), or "onto the roof" and wait. We play through a little of "First Date" (we always do the bit where Wall-E holds up the umbrella and gets struck by lightning). The ship comes down and takes Eve. Usually this is where she botches up the plot: M-O shows up sometimes (once he was played by my little brother, but usually he's invisible), then we skip around a lot...once we did "Define Dancing", but it was just me picking her up and spinning her around ( ;D ). "The Wheel"--Auto, but she doesn't know Auto by name--usually shocks Wall-E at this point (as a sidenote, Auto is played by a Dora table I pick up and hold by its base, spinning it like a wheel), and Eve takes Wall-E back to Earth. She fixes Wall-E, but I don't remember her and ignore her. She then takes my hand (like in the movie, she slips her fingers between mine) and turns away. She's stuck, so she turns around. I close my fingers around hers and say, "Ee-vah?" She replies, "Wall-E?" And we hug. The End. ...I wish. Usually after we finish, she says, "Let's play again! " I love Wall-E, but I've already played her version of Wall-E six times...
