I wonder a little what kids will make of the long silence of the first half followed by the disorienting mania of the second, but there's nothing here that's not wonderfully imagined and lovingly presented.

The most consistent production unit in Hollywood just hit another home run.

Among its many wondrous achievements, the animated WALL-E is a sci-fi trifecta: a vision of the future, a tale for our times and a blast from the past.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

WALL-E is a classic, but it will never appeal to people who are happy with art only when it has as little bite as possible.

You'd have to be a machine for your heart not to melt.
