swingchickiesee "Wall-E" while it's in theatres. please. really.
jack and i went last night, and it was so wonderful. i won't bore you with a review here, because i suck at movie explanations... there are some great ones on rottentomatoes.com if you want to look. i'll just say that it was funny, and thought-provoking, and so moving at times i had tears streaming down my face. and the animation is stunning -- there are times where i forgot i was watching an animated film.
oh, and the animated short before the movie? that alone was worth the price of admission. fall-out-of-your-chair funny.
i want to go to pixar and hug all of them for making this*. philly peeps, if any of you want to see it and want company i'll totally go again.

*in case you hadn't heard about this -- back when "toy story" was in production, the pixar honchos realized that if it was as big of a success as they anticipated, they were going to have to already have another movie or two in the works to follow up. so they went out to lunch and brainstormed. the result of that lunch? the ideas for "finding nemo", "monsters inc", "a bug's life", and "wall-e". (talk about the most well-spent lunch tab ever!) the cool thing is, knowing that they were going to make these movies, they started putting easter eggs about them in the other ones. so in "monster's inc", for example, the little girl hands sully a nemo doll, when "finding nemo" was years from being released. wall-e appears for a few seconds in each of them too, you can find some of the easter egg clips on youtube.
