Poster For Pixar’s Film WALL.E

Pixar’s latest feature film WALL.E is released in cinemas today.
I was a little sceptical when the teaser trailer was first released, although as it turns out, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Oh except for Pixar’s first Nuke The Fridge moment. My jaw hit the floor as cheesy live action (yes, live action) was used to portray the utopian humans aboard the Axiom, very out of character for Pixar. The reasoning behind this is that Andrew Stanton wanted the humans to be in keeping with the Hello Dolly sequence.
As always, Pixar screened their latest animated short before the main film, entitled Presto which as it turns out, is one of the funniest shorts Pixar has created.

After the long wait, well it was for us here in the UK, I finally got to see Pixar’s Ratatouille at The Filmworks Digital Cinema in Manchester. I think this is my favourite Pixar film, along with the original Toy Story.
