The post will explain more. But thanks for your consistent writing and lovely thoughts.

The animators made him so sympathetic, like someone you could really identify with. I might have to get it on DVD, because I'd definitely like to see that first 40 minutes or so again. And I agree, it's always great when you can introduce a new audience to a Broadway show!Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-96561046837037282008-08-21T10:46:00.000-04:002008-08-21T10:46:00.000-04:00Thanks for spurring me on Vance!

And yeah, Wall-E does give an amazing, life-like performance.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-28215353499452419302008-08-21T10:43:00.000-04:002008-08-21T10:43:00.000-04:00Hey Amanda,It definitely was kind of creepy to see...Hey Amanda,<BR/>It definitely was kind of creepy to see the giant mounds of garbage reaching to the sky, but I'm sure most kids don't realize the significance of that, or what it means when the planet becomes uninhabitable. I once took a bus tour of Love Canal as part of a conference I attended. It's a community near Buffalo that was basically built on top of toxic waste. As we drove through, we saw that the streets and houses and buildings and school were still there, but the neighborhood was abandoned. Extremely eerie.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-89183180673354876742008-08-20T22:07:00.000-04:002008-08-20T22:07:00.000-04:00My favorite moment was the "spork" classification ...My favorite moment was the "spork" classification dilemma. <BR/><BR/>I was prepared for it to be yet another over-hyped flick--but found it totally enchanting.Stella Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326284182278725435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-6510664026712521432008-08-20T20:19:00.000-04:002008-08-20T20:19:00.000-04:00What's also so spectacular is how a new audience i...What's also so spectacular is how a new audience is introduced to a classic Broadway show (even if via a mediocre film adaptation). But what really hit me especially in the movie theatre, was the strength of Herman's lyric for "It Only Takes a Moment," a highly underrated ballad in my opinion.<BR/><BR/>And I just adored Wall-E. Especially each time he used his binocular-like eyes to show emotion. Haha. I'd love one for a pet.Kevin Dalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885446907718013966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-6091822110632533752008-08-20T17:41:00.000-04:002008-08-20T17:41:00.000-04:00Seriously, wasn't the first half SPECTACULARLY ani...Seriously, wasn't the first half SPECTACULARLY animated? And yet so chilling because it was so spectacularly animated. <BR/><BR/>And is it weird that WALL*E, a computer animated ROBOT possibly gave one of the most moving performances this year? If not any year?<BR/><BR/>Glad you saw it on the big screen in all its full colour glory and glad you enjoyed it!Vancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12342092747348921676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-17218083463348964362008-08-20T17:00:00.000-04:002008-08-20T17:00:00.000-04:00I loved this movie.

The duelism in it is really magical. To me, it was a kinda creepy post-apocalyptic vision with a lovely love story mixed in, but to the kids, it was just fun. I don't know that i've ever seen movie dualism done so well. Jason told me, when he'd first seen it, that the movie would be creepy to anyone who was over the age of 14 or 15, and thus able to understand what it was really about.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.com
