It is definitely a message movie. All of Pixar's films are. The message I
got was "keep trying." . . . The photography was stunning. . . .The sequence on Earth is very much

for the story they tell, but the differing art styles. . . . In some ways, it is an anti-"Silent Running." . . . My younger son won't sit through many movies, but this one had his full
attention.

Thank you, ladies.

Sounds like Wall-E is worth buying once it comes out on a disc. It may turn out to be one of those classics that people refer to in years hence.
