For a movie with not much dialogue it had very emotive feelings You made some very good points - the people living on the spaceship by and large were spoiled into submissiveness and did not even realize it, and with little human contact. Social media tools have allowed us to interact online, without actual human contact. We have become a very narcissistic culture indeed, and this film had the idea of making us aware of the consequences of our actions. Leave it up to the fat captain to go against the status-quo....there was a really funny moment in the movie when the people had to use their feet for the first time in...Years! Yes what a funny movie....and after the show while walking out I saw some rather overweight people walking in with super-sized confectionery I wonder if they will think about those consequences after watching WALL-E.

I haven't seen the movie, and I can already play it all out in my head, thanks Aaron! /kidding But seriously, at the very least 85% of the people that watch this won't even realize what they're watching, in these terms, anyhow. They're going to walk away with "that movie was so cute" blah blah - etc, and simply ignore anything that can be associated to their own selves. The non-fiction of reality projected in a fiction stage often removes people from the scenario all-together in their minds and they simply concentrate on movie-as-movie... Weirdly enough, this contributes to the desensitization of people/sheeple, whatever you wanna call'm :P -- and they neutralize their need to be responsible for their actions as a result... weird, huh? Unless of course they're an activist, intelligent, or make a habit of thinking for themselves, in which-case, they're in the minority, for the most part. Losing battle we are in, yes? Interesting.
