Wall-E
It’s the school holidays and if you’ve got kids, they’re likely pestering you to take them out.
Few kids can sit still at home. It’s also a good idea to tear them away from their computer games for a few hours.
We watched Wall-E, short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth something-or-other last weekend.
Wall-E, as you probably know by now, is such a cute garbage-collecting robot it’s impossible not to love him on sight.
Well, due to man’s (as in mankind) neglect of the environment, Planet Earth has become on huge expanse of garbage which Wall-E has been assigned to clean up … singlehandedly with only a little roach for company.
One day, Eve, a female robot is sent to look for signs of life on Earth that might signal that it’s possibly still inhabitable. Wall-E is immediately smitten with Eve and shows her all the treasures of trash that he’s collected in his daily cleanup routine.
Turns out there’s still one surviving plant, the very thing Eve has been sent to find. Her mission accomplished, Eve shuts down and waits to be transported back to outer space where our Earthlings are now living lives of inactivity and obesity.
In his effort to ’save’ Eve, Wall-E hitches a ride on the spacecraft that comes to pick up Eve and well, the rest, you got to watch it yourself. It’s a good movie to bring environmental awareness to your kids, provided they’re old enough to understand the underlying issues.
There’s not much dialog in the movie. But you can use the movie to open up a discussion of the basic environmental issues with your kids.

It sounds like a really good movie. As an adult without children, I wanted to see it! So did a bunch of my friends. We’re really big on the environment.
