Wall-E

Has anyone else seen this movie? We took the kids recently and I found it sad and thought provoking. It is hardly about two cute robots who fall in love.

The social commentary was overwhelming. I found the fat people being constantly fed and entertained in their hover chairs particularly disturbing. The Earth left behind because it was full of trash also hit home.

I'm not sure where we are headed as a people, but my hope is that we all can learn something from this movie and possibly change our course.

wow, I read a book about this same sort of thing once - the earth had to be abandoned due to trash - and I found it sad and foretelling. Is it really science fiction or a glimpse of the future? It kicks you in the pants when you're a mom.
