WALL·E
Let briefly summarize WALL·E: Phenomenal. Its plot line is swift enough to keep its target audience interested, but it has an underlying message. This, I think, is the best film Pixar has created yet, easily surpassing even Toy Story itself. Now for that message:
WALL·E must be commended for bringing up the issue of our current lifestyle of excessive capitalism and increasing laziness, while doing so in a subtle way—one that will undoubtedly stick in the minds of its audience. IRONY WARNING! Why, exactly, is Disney, one of the largest corporations in the world, denouncing excessive capitalism?!
Just a little more irony, for your ironic pleasure. This is the "U Command WALL·E." Yes, it's a WALL·E toy that will add to the landfills only to be disposed, perhaps, by WALL·E himself. That, folks, is ironic capitalism straight from your friends at Disney.
