One of the best animated films ever made, this huge success features two robots whose courtship takes place on a planet destroyed by the humans, thanks to the dangerous trash they leave behind.
A story with a moral, this is also a film with endearing romance, gentle humour and many intriguing and clever turns.
Director Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo) gives the film a fast tempo but it is never overloaded. He has proved that imaginative writers and directors can put stunning technological inventions at the service of a thoughtful, inspiring and smart film that does not lose focus. There are about half-a-dozen issues, ranging from environmental pollution to the discovery of true love at work here. And yet the film is cohesive, well paced, and sets a high mark that would be difficult to best.
It has grossed an impressive $500 million across the world but it could be earning much more in DVD sales and rentals. With its wit and impressive technology, and subtle moral lessons, the film appeals to different generations. For once, you won't be thinking that you are sitting through a film because of the kids.
