Yesterday, I went to go see Walle, the movie, with a couple of friends. It's about a robot, "brought to you by Disney's Pixar films, who brought you  Finding Nemo and Monster's Inc. ..."

It's a really cute movie, although Walle, the robot, has a pet cockroach. I didn't get why out of all living things, a cockroach was chosen to be his pet. I figured it out later on in the movie.

*[[this next paragraph (or two) is the basic plot of the movie]]*
Walle is one of the many "WALL-E" robots that were designed to clean up the earth. This is because the world has been trashed (literally with trash) and so much that the toxins released in the earth's atmosphere prohibits any kind of sustainable life (except for cockroaches because they always seem to survive through anything and everything). While the Walle robots clean the earth, humans are in a space cruise ship that's suppose to last for five years. The cruise lasts for 700 years because earth was never cleaned out. People on the ship are fat and lazy. They all stay sitting on these chairs that take them anywhere they need to, and come with holographic screens to chat with others and do everything they need to. Food comes in drinks and there are robots for every physical task possible. Skipping through the whole entire plot of the movie, the humans don't know (or remember) what it means to actually live and know nothing about earth. At the end of the movie they arrive to earth and it's trashed, but with hope they start to cultivate and such.

Walle is basically one of those warning movies about the future that we could possibly be heading towards. I really like the movie, it's was very cute. But aside that, I'm hoping that Disney's message of saving our earth before we end up the people in the movie is conveyed to the watchers. It's smart; showing young children the possible future in a not too harsh and documentary-like way (although seeing earth totally trashed with trash has to be a little harsh).

I think we should all be teaching young children about helping the earth and making effort to change possible horrid futures.

Over all, good movie. Walle is adorable, and as the movie goes on, so is his cockroach.
