I just went to see Wall-E. It is incredibly cute, and its beautifully done, visually. Cutesy kid movies and dystopian sciene fiction are an incredibly strange combination, though. I don’t think the “dumbing it down for the five year olds” thing really works when you are trying to convey social commentary. If I re-watch it, it will have to be by concentrating on the adorable robots. I think I’ll go find some actual rebuilding-civiliztion SF to read.
