Ehhh, I voted for "about right". I think the movie is just "underappreciated". The message of WALL-E is NOT "do not pollute" or "do not eat too much". The "big-baby" of humanity is a SUPPORTING FACTOR, NOT THE MESSAGE. If those really were the messages, why is the love story focused on. Andrew Stanton, the writer, CLEARlY states on the commentary the "though we should feel noble about it", it is not the message. It is just detail. In truth, if you do stay in space for a long time, you will grow large and globby because your bone disappears (the movie implies stimulated gravity could not prevent bone-loss). And the obese humanity, though initiallly portrayed as lazy and unintelligent, emerges eventually as caring and loving. Though they originally ignored WALL-E's presence, those who encountered WALL-E grew to care for me. I cannot that some people missed this. It was evident in the beginning, WALL-E is a love story. The true commentary of WALL-E is really how we never really connect to each other. The love between WALL-E and EVE is not your shallow, cliche love story. We love people for who they are (you will understand this when you look into the scene when WALL-E's sentience supposely dies) and we should make time to connect with others. Those are the true themes of WALL-E.

Yes, the message was shit, but the visuals were unbelievable and the characters and their relationships were inspiring. Pixar was at its best with those two aspects of the film.

Rotten Tomatoes gave Wall-E a 97% rating, and I think the movie fully deserves it. I'm not a huge fan of previous PIXAR flicks, but I love this one. By setting the story in a fairly serious context, (Earth has become unlivable as a result of human contamination) and keeping dialog to a bare minimum, this movie avoids the saccharine flavor of previous PIXAR joints. The only thing that would've made this movie cooler is no dialog whatsoever.
