I experience the best animated film ever this past weekend: WALL-E!!! It was so incredibly detailed and well thought out, that I came out wanting to see it again because I knew there were a ton of details that I didn't catch.
On top of the awesome animation was a great story with a lot of relevant messages:
1) Technology will be super cool in the future
2) We don't have to clean after ourselves in the future
3) Apple Computers will rule the world!!
Just kidding... but the real messages:
1) Technology makes humans lazy
2) Humans are wasteful
3) People don't communicate anymore like they used to
4) Love is sacrificial
Anything I missed?
Dude... soooooo goooood!!!! Can't wait to see it again!

5) our consumer society is distracting us from doing anything meaningful.
the capt of the ship says something like "we've been doing nothing for 700 years."
he also said "i don't want to survive. i want to live!"
those were the big points for me
i also thought it was interesting how wall-e, the male figure of the story is portrayed as this shy guy and eve the female is super strong, driven and capable. this is probably the most overlooked aspect of the movie but it shows how the gender roles in society have sort of been reversed but wall-e still remains the man that everyone looks toward to lead them and as the hero he's carrying the weight of everyone on his shoulders (literally he does at the end)
