Wall-E discussion

Last Friday, I led a discussion of Pixar's 2008 release, Wall-E. It was a great discussion, and I enjoyed getting even more out of the film through hearing other people's reactions and reflections.

In preparation for the discussion, I covered a lot of [internet] ground finding interviews and articles on the film in hopes of further enriching our discussion. Here is a handful of worthwhile reads. After you read them, what thoughts do you have about the film? Did reading the interviews with Andrew Stanton change your opinion of the film, whether positively or negatively?

• Interview with Andrew Stanton, by Christianity Today
• Interview with Andrew Stanton, by Movies Online
• Interview with Andrew Stanton, by Jeffrey Overstreet
• Review by Josh Hurst
• Review by Roger Ebert
• Comparing Wall-E with Charlie Chaplin
