A great animation film [well, a great animation film opening scene] from Pixar! Who'da thunk. Its start is stunning, poignant, but the film quickly stagnates into a conventional goodies and baddies plot. Its ultra-cute klutz hero will challenge even hardcore cynics to sneer. I haven't seen an animation hero so easy to empathize with since Buzz Lightyear ["I'm just a toy!"]. One quibble [well, as a famous fantasy writer once said, it's the real parts of fantasy that make the fantastic parts more believeable] tho: Eva is sent to explore earth for life, is thrilled when WallE finds a plant. But earlier, WallE's cockroach climbs all over her without triggering her lifesign diagnostics. Huh? But with Hollywood, best not to look too close.
