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.

The "Wall-E" Premiere

On May 31st, Mom and Dad went to the big wrap party and screening of the latest Pixar movie, "Wall-E." Mom spent over a year working on the film even though she was on maternity leave for the last part of the production. She worked as the Layout Coordinator and then as the Sweatbox Manager (facilitates moving shots through the production pipeline).

The party was held at the Masonic Auditorium in downtown San Francisco. We've been to a few of these parties, but this one was bittersweet because it will probably be the last Pixar film that Mom will work on for a while. In fact, two days after the premiere, Mom told Pixar that she wasn't going to return to work.

It was a big treat to see the finished film. It was nice not know every detail of the final film before seeing it. We were blown away by great animation and the beautiful artistic and technical work captured in every frame. The best part was getting to see so many friends dressed up and having fun.

You can see "Wall-E" on June 27th in theaters. Click here for the trailer.
