Pixar gets it perfect

Although it has become a cliche to say it, Pixar has outdone itself.

Besides “Cars,” each new film the animation studio has released has been richer in not only animation but overall substance. So it comes as no surprise that “WALL-E” is Pixar’s strongest film to date and arguably the best movie of the year. 

What is even more impressive about “WALL-E” is that, on paper, there is little reason to think it should be good. Only Pixar could make a masterpiece about a love story between two robots who can’t talk.

While previous Pixar classics have succeeded tremendously in being pleasing to both kids and their parents, “WALL-E” is the first Pixar film to be targeted more toward adults.
Kids love WALL-E because of his silly antics. However, parents should appreciate the robot’s subtle emotions, such as his extreme loneliness due to his infatuation with EVE.  
This three-disc special edition also has some fascinating extras.

Featurettes like “Building Worlds” and “The Pixar Story” will surely entertain older audiences interested in how this and other remarkable Pixar films are made.

Those who have seen “WALL-E” know it’s an incredible film. Those who haven’t should consider this edition as an early, must-have Christmas present.
