Seriously though, Wall-E looks absolutely wonderful. Can't wait to see it.

The strange thing is, I think it's been oversaturated on the net and underplayed everywhere else. I find myself not caring about everything I haven't seen, and it's all down to seeing the same footage and hearing the same cheesy "voice" and reading the same articles (every article about this film on AICN has said pretty much the same thing every time).

Am I alone? Is anyone else sick of hearing about Wall-E?

I have this feeling that it could all backfire. The more I hear about this on the internet, the less interested I become...if it's happening to other people, then the audience from the internet community could be lower than expected.

Then talk trailers and tv spots, which will be how the majority of movie goers hear about the film...if they just show the same old lonely robot scenes, without getting into the whole journey through space portion...who's going to be interested?

Sure, young kids will go to see it and drag their parents along, but what about teens and adults who aren't taking their little brother or sister, or daughter and son...will they bother with, what on the surface looks like a cheesy kids movie?

I wouldn't be so sure that this will be Pixar's biggest hit. It could very well backfire on them and it won't be because it's a bad movie, it will be because of how they have marketed the film.

I think Pixar are great. And the ultimate appeal of their movies is that they really are for everyone. But if the TV spots are like the all but the last of the trailers, I'm not sure that people will want to go see it.

In essence, what I'm saying is that Pixar need to show more of what happens after Wall-E leaves Earth in tv spots and trailers and less of what happens while he's on Earth alone.

Which is as it should be. I can't believe all these moron TBers who are screaming for a sequel. MAKE him do it! We bitch about moneygrubbing Hollywood but actually we don't care - give us more Incredibles, and if it's crap we can bitch then too! Everybody wins! The whole point of making a movie with great characters and great story is that you enjoy it enough to want more. There's nothing fucking wrong with a perfectly formed classic. It's TBers like this that made "franchise" an acceptable term. Why do you think that word is generally associated with fast food?

Do you want more Incredibles or Bird to make NEW and DIFFERENT films which are just as good? Think about it people.

It's like the geek double standard of I won't watch that film and I'll hate it BECAUSE it's (insert running time over 2 hours) minutes long. Even though I haven't seen it. Dark Knight about 3 hours? They better not fucking cut it!
