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... Aww.... I can see how that would get tiring after awhile, though, even if you DO love the movie. (And romantic scenes must feel kinda awkward...) Kinda reminds me of someone on imdb. She said that she and her cousin did the "transformation" in BatB when they were younger ("and I was ALWAYS Beast! " lol) and said that at the end, her cousin went "It is you!" and leaned over and "...kissed me! On the lips. And I was all "why did you kiss me?" But man, you two...cute.

It wasn't awkward because we skip the romantic scenes (save the hand-holding, which was rather awkward to adjust to being sibling friendly). Though, when my little brother and his friend tried to be Wall-Es whilst I was Eve, I insisted they were Wall-E's brothers, not Eve's Wall-E.
Oh yeah, and a bunch of kids here like Wall-E, too. I've brought it up a few times and had kids go, "I LOVE that movie!"
I guess people who say it's not kid friendly don't know what they're talking about.

So I went back to my school's poster sale today just because I wanted to see how many Wall-E posters were left (even though I already have one) and there was one left. Only one. And they started out with A LOT. It seems there's some underground fanbase at my school I'm not aware of.
And there are still tons of Dark Knight posters, which made me feel a little triumphant inside. ;D
And Castoro Chiaro, that's the greatest thing I ever heard. Me and my older sister used to do something similar with The Nightmare Before Christmas only with Barbies. ANd We were both Sally. She always got to be the better Sally though.

You mean TDK ISN'T God's gift to humankind? A movie about some trash-compactor can be more popular? But...but...

"Wall-e is stupid!!! I can't believe a movie about a stupid trash-compactor can get a better reviewed than TDK!!!" Well, what can I say? ;D

LOL! Yeah, lord knows an ending celebrating regaining humanity and love is a lot less powerful than a guy in a cape running away.

Chase and I watched the film together the first time; and we were both so bewildered by the awful interpretation that neither of us could get a full idea out. We were left speechless------not in awe, but in confusion. To be frank, Wall-E didn't leave us a good impression. Bad start!
The next day I watched it on myself again, because the tiny voice of EVE's exaperated "Wall-E!!" was vibrating in my head, coaxing my interests. This time, it was GREAT.
My father snouted at this. "Why still cartoon?" He always condemned me for being naive and not-mature-enough. He fell sleep during Cars. Nearly fell sleep in The Incredibles. Well, adult, I can understand him.
My mother was different. At first she just sneaked a peak, but then she was hooked. She smiled at the cuteness of Wall-E and EVE playing knick-knacks, and sighed during the space tango. "Love is so beautiful..." She said. She didn't watch the full movie, but I guessed she would like it.
Wall-E was not so well-known as Kungfu Panda for it was blocked out here. When I recommend it to my friends, none of them have ever heard of it. I took the disk to Guan's home and accompanied her (to offer aids on translation...); After one and a half hour, She fell for it. The same go with Rooster, and he contributed two essays about Wall-E on his QQ blog. Last night I invited one of my roommate to watch it with me; when credit appeared, she said: "It let me feel so warm and happy!"
My middle-school teacher thought good of it too, but she said: "The movie was quite serious. I think the theme is more about redemption, then love. It filled my heart with heaviness."
So, 100percent thumb-up until now.

Wow, rubbidonkey . . . that was a very touching story. I love how international WALL-E is and how people in so many cultures can relate to the story.
