The more I see about this movie, the more I can't wait for it! I love it when big Disney/Pixar movies come out in the summer. It's a great family day after school vacation starts. And, of course, it really gets us in the mood for our trip!

Wall-E had it's world premiere here in Los Angeles at the Greek Theater in Griffith Park and there was quite a turnout for the event.
The real-life animatronic Wall-E made an appearance on the red carpet, and it was great to see the Pixar crew like John Lasseter (who had on this really great Wall-E shirt for the occasion), Ed Catmull and Andrew Stanton and then some unexpected guests like the real Buzz- Buzz Aldrin for the premiere which was great.
The film runs about an hour and 38 minutes and nobody wanted to leave even after the end credits has rolled (and in Pixar style, even the end credits are cool).
Again, I can't say enough about the beautiful animation and Wall-E has easily become my favorite Pixar film of them all.
Before the film you'll also get treated to the Pixar short Presto- really funny and in an even more Tom & Jerry style of animation and comedy than is typical for Pixar shorts and nationwide you should also catch a preview of Disney's fall release Bolt.
If you really love the short, then in the US and Canada, you should be able to purchase and download a copy of Presto in early July from the iTunes movie store.
There are a number of sneak preview showings of Wall-E actually starting this week- quite a few scheduled tomorrow, but the majority of them are already completely full.

Mufasa ~ Very exciting to hear that Wall-E has become your favorite Pixar movie!
I say a review of it today and it just made me even more excited. Can't wait for next weekend. I've been excited about this one since I saw the first promo.....Wall-E is just so cute!

I am SO excited to see this movie. Since I have a new management job at an IT company, I have organized to take my entire floor to the opening day on Friday... it's about 120 of us! Should be fun, and the company is paying!

I'm going to see the movie tonight. Really looking forward to it. Funny thing is the theater I am going to see it at is literally less than 1 mile from the Pixar Studios as the crow flies and 1.3 miles if you were to drive (actually i'll probably drive right by pixar on my way to the theater).

Well, we just saw the movie and Ian took the word right out of my mouth...eh. The kids liked it - the wife and I did not.

I loved the movie and all of the people I went with (100 adults) all thought it was great. The animation was stupendous, and the fat humans were absolutely hysterical -- there were lots of messages, but I thought it was really well done! I can't wait to buy this film! I was particularly impressed that all of the kids in the audience were really engaged, even without lots of dialogue in the movie.

While I don't think it's Pixar's best film, I did truly enjoy watching it. The computer animation is absolutely amazing and they did such a wonderful job at conveying the story with limited dialogue. I heard kids laughing out loud just as much as I heard adults, so I think it catered to a wide audience. And it certainly had several good messages. It's one movie I'll be buying when it comes out on DVD.

I saw Wall-E tonight. I liked it, but not as much as I hoped I would. For me, it doesn't come close to Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Nemo or Cars.
I'd be much happier if Disney and Pixar would keep political statements of any kind out of their movies.
-
I returned from the movie and while it was cute, and the best character that Pixar has created, it wasn't the best for me. Nothing has been able to hold a candle, IMHO, to the Toy Story movies, especially the first. I would rank this with A Bug's Life in the world of Pixar, but I haven't really enjoyed anything except Nemo since Monster's Inc. In fact, I haven't even seen Ratatoulle.
Anywho, I liked the movie, and it did hold my attention. The kids in the theater were so cute (I was tolerant of the noise since I came back from a Disney Cruise yesterday), but the fat woman next to me (reminded me of the people in fact.. even the way she sat.. a perfect match!), was giving us all a very loud play-by-play of the movie, which maybe had something to do with my enjoyment level.
I would recommend Wall*E to anyone though, even though small children may not be as interested. I heard a lot of "What happened mommy? What is that mommy?"

Well, put me in the column of LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT!!!!!!!
The animation was simply amazing. Everything looked so real. Some people will definitely be offended by the human portrayal but the heart of this movie is the love story between lonely WALL-E and the sleek and shiny EVE. WALL-E is so expressive. It's amazing how much story was conveyed with nearly no words for the majority of the movie. I also loved his obsession with "Hello, Dolly!" and his pack rat nature. Very cute.
Our audience was made up mostly of adults. Everyone was laughing and "awww"ing throughout the entire movie. There was only one thing that I think could've been expanded upon, and that is the other "broken" robots. They were so funny, I wanted to see more of them.
The short was also absolutely hysterical.
I definitely rank this movie highly. Just for the record though, my absolute least favorite Pixar movies are Cars and Bug's Life. Haven't seen them since the first go-round.

Wall-e Crashes!
Wall-e has not seemed to have gotten the audience it expected! I went last night (opening night) and I was expecting for it to be sold out. But it wasn't! No offense to anyone who enjoyed it, but it was a little slow moving and not what I expected!
-
I thought it was also a little slow. It was a cute movie but not any where near toy story, cars, nemo and so on. My 4 year old nephew liked though so that's all that matters I guess.

Your experience based on a particular showing at your local movie theater certainly does not reflect the nationwide box office numbers.
Wall-E is well on track to be Pixar's biggest opening weekend. The early estimates for Friday's take was $23.3 million which would make it Pixar's biggest opening day so when the final totals come in for the weekend we could be looking at something around $70 million.
Depends on just how much of an attendance increase there will be today- if it has a modest increase like Ratatouille that probably means the final numbers would be around $66 million. If it follows more like Cars, it would put it right around $70 million and if it has a strong weekend push like Nemo then we'd have an $80 million opening weekend.
Those are some great numbers and the real measure will be the final box office numbers over the next few months.
The real surprise of this weekend actually has to be the box office figures for Wanted... those are way above what I think anyone could have predicted, but still should be second to Wall-E.
