WALL-E: Pixar's Next Genius Move-E
Playing in theaters before Ratatouille, this trailer for Pixar's next animation classic-to-be is a teaser in more ways than one. The animation looks stunning and the character design is full of charm -- but this is still only the barest glimpse of a plucky little robot's quest for something bigger and better.
The rest of the teaser is devoted to a retrospective of Pixar's greatest hits, implying that Wall-E is cut from the same cloth as Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc. From any other company, such parading of past hits might seem grandious. But if any company has earned the right to brag in this fashion, it's Pixar. I'm looking forward to watching this teaser again this weekend -- on the big screen.
