I have to agree with Menna that you’re missing the whole point… It really doesn’t matter… This is an animation, NOT a documentary… Wearing a pink bow! Why are we trying to put meanings, gestures, sex etc. and left everything out of our imagination?.. Why is everything supposed to be given instead of imagined?. It’s not a fast food burger; it’s a (magical) story… Besides it was clear that Eve is female. it’s name is EVE… Remember, Adam and EVE?! I think the movie is perfect as it is… Subtle is just fine.. Giving human characteristics and emotions to a robot was an extraordinary idea and being able to apply it was another unbelievable achievement. I think Wall-e is the best animation ever. I applause its writers and directors, kudos!.

By the way I don’t think it is a kids movie… Let’s stop thinking animations as kids’ movies. They are an outstanding work of imagination and creativity products, yet most of them are waaay better than motion picture movies.

I see what you’re saying about the nationality homogeny, but I recon that after 800-1000 years of the whole human race space-floating (and it was most certainly the select and wealthy few who went on board in the first place- it *certainly* wasn’t the world’s current 6bn), the race WILL get homogenised. I think white americans were chosen because currently, it’s just the easiest thing for an American film studio to do. If the film was made in India or Egypt, the characters would look very different.

If there is an arguement to make about how the humans are portraied, it is the fact they look just like 21st centuary humans. Well alright, with extra fat and immobility, but other characteristics would have evolved into the race! I would imagen suction pads on human skin to counter micro-gravity, deminished lung capacity and a change of eye shape (as ALL the light is artificial except from stars, which is extremely powerful).

I’m in the UK and haven’t seen the film yet, but I’ve been bouncing about all day with excitment at the prospect of watching it! It comes out TONIGHT!. Woo!

I thought that the Axiom was just *one* of many space liners – the “jewel of the fleet.” Since it left from NY, all Americans…

I think you’re missing the whole point…I don’t think it’s possible for them to show the entire earth on that space station…and maybe poor people did die from pollution…. maybe the rich will survive after all…isn’t it where the world is headed?

I thought Pixar would at least be propelled to include more diversity purely from a commercial/profit perspective. Millions of people will watch Wall-e in Asia, Europe, Africa, Latin America…

I saw it last night, and quite frankly It was such a wonderful adventure. Afterwards, I kept wanting to hold hands with my bf, in the stiff robot way.
