DVD Reviews of Wall-E (Two-Disc and BD Live) [Blu-ray]DVD Review: maybe my favourite movie Summary: 5 Starsi love this film - great story, great music, great humour - Pixar at its best (so far)
DVD Review: Cardbox box is toddler proof Summary: 5 StarsI love this movie and so does my 2 1/2 year old. But I want to review the box. Some reviewers hate the all cardboard packaging. I love it. My toddler loves to hold DVD boxes, she always accidentally breaks both plastic kinds. This one she walks on, pulls apart (when the disk is not in it) and it still holds and protects the disk. And she can get the disk out without abusing it. I hope this packaging becomes dominate while physical media still exist.
DVD Review: WALL E Summary: 5 StarsI thought this was going to be a really bad movie but to my surprise it is great.My son really likes it.
DVD Review: Not as good as I thought Summary: 2 StarsI just don't get this movie. I love animations, especially Pixar movies, but this one was uh, really lame IMO. If you can stand the fact that Wall-e says "WAAAALLLLEEEE" about a million times, and the fact that Wall-e is not exactly the most cuddly character, because he is well, a metal box with a Johnny-5 head, then this movie might be for you. Oh and he acts more like a 5 year old kid, so if you like 5 year old love then I would recommend this movie. The black comedy sequences that are so common in animations these days were sub-par in this one. The one good thing about the movie though was that I admire the concept of people leaving the earth so that it can be cleaned up and we can return.. or so we thought! That was kind of clever and brings some realism to the story. Its always enjoyable to see what the future of humanity is going to be like, but this one was a little too cheesy.
If you haven't seen this yet I'd recommend seeing it just to say you saw it, but if you're a grown man like myself, don't buy it, just rent it. Or maybe if you get a really great price on the Blu-ray ;)
By the way, the rabbit cartoon in the beginning is HILLARIOUS (don't know if this is on the DVD/B-R). Make sure to watch it if its in the extras.
DVD Review: Problematic Tracking Summary: 2 StarsAlthough I loved the movie, I returned my original purchase once, and even the second DVD replacement still didn't play correctly. My DVD player can play my recent Hellboy release, but not Wall-E. No fine-tuning is available for the tracking, and that's what I believe the problem is, or I could try to fix it myself. As it is, I am having difficulty returning the item a second time. I loved the movie - and would recommend it to anyond - but watching it hesitate and pixelate for the duration of the movie was a big bummer.

Description of Wall-E (Two-Disc and BD Live) [Blu-ray]The highly acclaimed director of Finding Nemo and the creative storytellers behind Cars and Ratatouille transport you to a galaxy not so far away for a new cosmic comedy adventure about a determined robot named Wall-E. After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, the curious and lovable Wall-E discovers a new purpose in life when he meets a sleek search robot named Eve. Join them and a hilarious cast of characters on a fantastic journey across the universe. Transport yourself to a fascinating new world with Disney-Pixar's latest adventure, now even more astonishing on DVD and loaded with bonus features, including the exclusive animated short film Burn-E. Wall-E is a film your family will want to enjoy over and over again. Pixar genius reigns in this funny romantic comedy, which stars a robot who says absolutely nothing for a full 25 minutes yet somehow completely transfixes and endears himself to the audience within the first few minutes of the film. As the last robot left on earth, Wall-E (voiced by Ben Burtt) is one small robot--with a big, big heart--who holds the future of earth and mankind squarely in the palm of his metal hand. He's outlasted all the "Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class" robots that were assigned some 700 years ago to clean up the environmental mess that man made of earth while man vacationed aboard the luxury spaceship Axiom. Wall-E has dutifully gone about his job compacting trash, the extreme solitude broken only by his pet cockroach, but he's developed some oddly human habits and ideas. When the Axiom sends its regularly scheduled robotic EVE probe (Elissa Knight) to earth, Wall-E is instantly smitten and proceeds to try to impress EVE with his collection of human memorabilia. EVE's directive compels her to bring Wall-E's newly collected plant sprout to the captain of the Axiom and Wall-E follows in hot pursuit. Suddenly, the human world is turned upside down and the Captain (Jeff Garlin) joins forces with Wall-E and a cast of other misfit robots to lead the now lethargic people back home to earth. Wall-E is a great family film with the most impressive aspect being the depth of emotion conveyed by a simple robot--a machine typically considered devoid of emotion, but made so absolutely touching by the magic of Pixar animation. Also well-worth admiring are the sweeping views from space, the creative yet disturbing vision of what strange luxuries a future space vacation might offer, and the innovative use of trash in a future cityscape. Underneath the slapstick comedy and touching love story is a poignant message about the folly of human greed and its potential effects on earth and the entire human race. Wall-E is preceded in theaters by the comical short Presto in which a magician's rabbit, unfed one too many times takes his revenge against the egotistical magician.
