    'WALL-E' is out of this world  Jun 27, 2008
    "WALL-E" is an assault on much that we hold dear: our throwaway lifestyle, the belief that high-tech narcosis is our just reward, our corporations and politics (Fred Willard appears in ancient video footage as BnL's "global CEO," vainly urging us to "stay the course").

    "WALL-E"  Jun 27, 2008
