WALL-E (2008 Andrew Stanton)

Because it was in The Times' 20 Best Films, though frankly it isn't as charming and funny as Up or as exciting and funny as The Incredibles. It is, however, fantastic to look at, with at times more going on than the brain can comfortably cope with. There's a sort of old technology vs new Apple technology theme going on (as well as all the obvious consumerism stuff):


The animation of all the robots is fantastic. Like the references to 2001 as well.


That musical genius Thomas Newman has been at it again, earning his EIGHTH Oscar nomination. I don't think he'll ever catch up with his dad Alfred though, who won nine and was nominated 40 times!!
