The Reviews for "Wall-E"

Hi, Todd here. I just wanted to say a few words about Kearsley's final (for now) project at Pixar. The reviews for "Wall-E", which opened in theaters on June 27th, have been extraordinary. Here are just a few snippets from film critics:

I must drop my inhibitions about dropping the M word -- especially since I've already used magnificent -- and call WALL-E the masterpiece that it is. - Wall Street Journal

Here I am, surprised and delighted all over again at just how well these people can tell a story. - Film.com

The best American film of the year to date. - Boston Globe

It's remarkable to see any film, in any genre, blend honest sentiment with genuine wit and a visual landscape unlike any other. - Chicago Tribune

Some day, there will be college courses devoted to this movie. - New York Post

A film that’s both breathtakingly majestic and heartbreakingly intimate. - Village Voice

The best film of the year so far. - CNN

I can't wait to see it! - Maya, age 6 months

Way to go, Kearsley and the talented people at Pixar for creating another great film. After "Finding Nemo," "The Incredibles," "Cars," and now "Wall-E," I am so proud of all that Kearsley has accomplished and her presence at Pixar will be sorely missed.
