How could they leave during such lovely credits?

Well, they had two home made pizza's to prepare for myself and another friend in the evening. :P

I love Wall-E so much, I've genuinely bought it twice. My mum's getting the DVD for her birthday next week. :wub:

I just watched it on Blu-Ray. If anything it was even better second time around, and I loved both acts from the start. My friends left when the credits started, but I sneakily switched it back on to watch those too. :o

I think I actually prefer it to Ratatouille, making it one of my favourite films of all time.

You are me. watched the Blu-ray tonight. Words fail me with this film, I just utterly adore it. In fact I think it has to go in my fave ever movies list.

Watched the Blu-ray of this a few days ago, first time I've seen it. Absolutely brilliant! It's also the best looking Blu-ray I've ever seen.

Been checking out the extras on the regular version. Burn-E is pretty good, as is Presto. There are also some cool little bios of the robots and other bits'n'bobs for the kids. Not checked out the BD-Live stuff yet but it seems really comprehensive.

Just watching the Geek-Track with a few of the main production staff talking over the movie. Interesting to see all the references I missed.

An unmissable BR disc of one of the best movies this year. If that's the regular version I can't imagine what other extras are on the premium disc?

My God, they are some powerful geeks. I'm, for some stupid reason, utterly surprised. Jesus Christ, some of the references and discussion were ridiculous; that flying bit of metal harkening to another flying bit of metal in Alien? What propulsion system powers EVE? Whether Cable is the new leader of the new X-Men or something I know jack fuck about?

Fucking loved every minute of it.

I think the general consensus is that it's at least up there with their best. Beautiful film, and the best film I saw in the cinema this year (no mean feat, as its a year in which I also saw The Fall and Changeling).

My nine year old brother thought it was boring, though, because he sucks. It's alright though: I should have it on Boxing day as my present (brother's not allowing me to open my presents 'til then because he's with his dad Christmas day. I want to watch it tomorrow :D)

Oh fuck, I'm going to have to buy a BR player now, just for this, the moment DVD became obsolete.

Bastards. :blink:

I really don't rate Finding Nemo. I was astonished that the director of that also made Wall-E, because Wall-E is about a thousand times better.

Anyway, I'd probably say:

1) Wall-E

2) Ratatouille

3) The Incredibles

4) Monsters Inc

5) Toy Story 2

6) Toy Story

7) Finding Nemo

:( A Bugs Life

9) Cars

TS2 only beats the original because of the Jessie montage. I wasn't too sure where to rate Ratatouille and The Incredibles, but I reckon Ratatouille just edges it because the themes in The Incredbles (All Hail The Mighty Family Unit and What If Superheroes Were Like Real People) were pretty well worn already. When typing Finding Nemo I accidentally typed "Finding Nemi", and I suppose FN wasn't that bad as a film about finding that goth girl from that shit comic strip in the Metro would be far worse.

I watched this for the first time today. Missed it in the cinema and wanted to wait till Hi def beauty.

I think like the the others that the two halfs do jar- you could almost give them subtitles "Wall-E meets Eve" and "Wall-E goes on a zany adventure!" which would be cheeky though and a bit unfair.

I feel like the second part of the movie had to exist to justify the first part ever even being made and released to a pixar audience. I've been playing Fallout 3 recently and the first 20 minutes or so until him and Eve make a friendly connection, it reminded me so much of the wastelands. I'm fucking serious,

the panning view at the start of the city, the way Wall-E scavanges for stuff and then keeps the valuble trinkets in a container

that again could have come out of fallout 3- as well as the era of music used. When you traverse the wastelands in fallout you hear and see explosions in the distance, you never feel safe, and when I saw

the dust clouds and the way Wall-E would have to hide. Those bits scared me than most of the parts in I am Legend

Even that bit with the trolleys made me think back to a pile I had seen in Super Duper Mart or somewhere in Fallout. And the sense of a destroyed world is powerful in both and maybe if it had been sustained even with the feel good love story, the general atmosphere might have been too depressing for all audiences to hit home with. The second part was still quality,

the beauty of space and the dance, the comic moments, the other robots, the 2001 references- amazing.

Both parts were great but the first was especially powerful, especially tragic and beautiful and I don't think that could have been a major market movie esp where toys, merchandise, games etc are marketed to kids. I hope I'm just being an idiot, and something like that gets made the full way but I was really pleased and touched with what I saw, but I definately saw absolute brilliance in the first part.

They could be done as fades to white captions on a black screen, Frasier-style.
