Currently Browsing: "Wall-E"

Before you nail me to the cross, it should be said that I liked the movie. Keyword: liked. While many will have the joy of discovering what they will think is one of the great animated features of all time, WALL-E just didn’t feel special to me by the time the credits rolled.

Welcome to another special early edition of the Reject Report — early because this week we have movies rolling out on July 2nd, in time for the long Independence Day weekend.

The story at the top is that WALL-E did exactly the kind of business it was expected to do: it made $62 million for the third-best opening of the entire year so far. But it wasn’t the runaway victory that everyone expected.

I know this is a G-rated Disney flick, but it has such broad appeal that college students, town drunks and anyone over the age of 21 is going to enjoy WALL-E as much as the kids.

Fellow Fat Guy Brian Gibson joins Neil in the Magical Studio in the Sky to remember the late George Carlin, chat about the San Diego Comic-Con and ramble on and on about why people should see bad movies

What happens over the next four weeks may determine whether theaters end up in the black for the summer — or in the toilet.

Pixar has done it again by giving us the best possible film. It’s a movie for all ages, touching on the very basic elements of human emotion and tenderness.

Just as Disney’s early animated films seem to have something magical about them, Pixar has ushered in a new era of delighting audiences. And with WALL-E, they seem to have found the magic once again.

Thankfully, there is little time left before WALL-E will be unleashed upon the masses, ready to knock the world on its collective ass with curiosity, cuteness and creativity. But it won’t hurt to have one more look…

Film School Rejects recently had a chance to chat with WALL-E director Andrew Stanton and find out a little more about this little robot that could.

While I know that all of you would rather talk about the cutesy, animated bliss that flows from the mind of Pixar’s Andrew Stanton, I feel that it is only fair that we give Mark Millar and his eccentricities proper coverage.

We have decided that there is no better way to relax after a long hard day at work than to enjoy some great news about WALL-E, the little robot that will be warming our hearts very soon.

Over the years, there have been quite a few cute animated couples, and these are the ones that top the list.

Andrew Stanton: The last thing I’m gonna do is try to make a message movie.

It is shocking, pulse-pounding action on a scale that will blow your mind… and it’s damn cute, too.

Little known fact about Pixar’s upcoming film Wall-E: 7-time Academy Award nominated cinematographer Roger Deakins was brought in as a special visual consultant. How cool is that?

My personal favorite part of this whole trailer parody - “Dude, The Hulk is like twenty feet tall. I mean Wall*e could kick your ass.”

His name is Wall-E and his movie hits theaters June 27. Inside you will find four brand new posters featuring his soon to be world famous curiosity.

Check out this brand new 4-minute sneak preview of Pixar’s Wall-E which aired over the weekend on ABC’s Wide World of Disney.

If you are like us, then you have not yet had enough of the cute robot at the heart of Pixar’s next film. And while Wall-E is still weeks away, we do have these beautiful photos to hold you over.

With the release of Kung Fu Panda later this week, we’re heading into the summer animation season. All this makes me reflect on some of my favorite computer animated characters over the years.

So, just to let everyone know. My birthday is August 11, and I would want nothing more than this toy. Pixar is going to be my demise. I turn into a babbling 5-year old any time they come out with a new film. Anyways, watch the video and start balancing your checkbook. I guarantee you will want this.

Neil received some ’service’ from the Zohan, and I tried to post up the Hulk. We quickly avoided a flying telephone, thrown by Get Smart’s Maxwell Smart, and made our way into the theater. Oh how blissful it is to be a movie geek.

Nothing like a cute little robot to get your weekend started, right?

While Iron Man may have crushed Speed Racer in last week’s box office grand prix, the man in metal will most likely be slain handily by Disney’s family fantasy adventure The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.

Wall-E is a film that appears to be a winner, with an adorable main character and beautiful animation the likes of which only Pixar can deliver. As further evidence of this, we present these 8 great new photos…

The summer movie season is finally here. And when it comes to the box office, there is no one better than our John Cairns and The Reject Report. In this special edition, he makes some bold predictions about this year’s summer box office results.

Every year we go through it: What are your most anticipated movies of summer? Which movies will make the most money? What will be the biggest flop? I can’t even begin to think of the infinite variations that we’ve seen of the pre-Summer movie lists. So this year, we are going to do something a little different, but not too far off the beaten path. We’ve set out to give you a guidebook to Summer Movie Season 2008: The 15 Movies that you should not miss, no matter what.

The Disney theme parks are building three-foot-tall (which is life-size, in case your were wondering) mobile animatronic versions of WALL-E. These live-action characters will roam the parks and interact with guests and their children.

Damn this Wall-E movie — it is forcing me to use the word “cute” at every turn. How am I supposed to maintain my sense of masculinity if I am continually drawn to writing about this cute, cuddly, awesome looking film? It gives me a headache.
