So, went to see Wall-e last night.
What can i say, which hasn't been said already?...WOW.
Last year Pixar brought us Ratatouille and i didn't think they'd top that animation for a couple of years. How wrong was I? Wall-e has taken this beautiful art to the next steps already. The detail on Wall-e for a start is incredible. You can see all the mechanism's working in his eyes, the rust and most of all the emotion. The film doesn't have dialogue for 75% of it, but you know exactly what he's thinking. Also getting back to detail, Earth looks brilliant, well it looks like a mess. But, that mess looks brilliant.
The sound design was very clever, reminded me of R2-D2 (Star Wars). You can clearly tell what the certain sounds mean. The use of camera angles were good, No, they were outstanding. The was a scene where it started as a long shot of earth and then zoomed right in to show wall-e at work. I picked up on the good use of camera angles on Ratatouille, focus pulling, quick editing, it makes it feel more like live action feature.
When i first saw Eva i didn't think she looked that great. I know she is suppose to look modern, Ipod-ish, next generation sort of thing. But, next to Wall-e it looked plain.
However, towards the end of the film there is a super close up of her face and you can see all the little lights under the plastic that make up her eyes. It's his sort of detail that makes you want to stand up and applaud the Pixar gang for there work.
If i had to pick fault, i mean really had to dig deep to find fault. I would say there wasn't enough of Wall-e and the bug by them self. Within 15 minutes Eva is on the seen and i really liked watching Wall-e explore the world and his reaction to the items he found.
