The animation in this movie is fabulous, but prepare yourself: this is not a simple or simplistic cartoon about artificial intelligence. Disney pulls some powerful velvet-gloved environmentalist punches throughout the film, starting with the title character. Wall-E's name is an acronym for "Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth Class". I won't give anything else away, except to say that there is adventure, romance and comedy all rolled up into this wonderful film. Best seen on the big screen.
