I thought it was about making a shitload of money by combining a few cliches with expensive animation and marketing.

Nice PR twist to deny that it's a "message movie". Clever boys.

^I agree, this is just like Dunkin Donuts trying to keep it a secret that much of their coffee is organic. They don't want the blue collar target market to get worried that they've gone soft hippie on them. Marketing is so very strange, because people are so very strange.

I thought it was about Americans getting fat and how we're all doomed to have bone loss.

Wall-E is a rip off of Number 5 from the movie "Short Circuit"

...there, I said it

And MINK, I agree. It's that whole do one thing and say another so you're responsible for nothing attitude.

I didn't think it was about environmentalism at all - I thought the message was more about American consumerism and how it affects our very lives and surroundings.

Okay, so there's this one guy and he's all alone in the world. And then a gal named EVE comes and they fall in love.

Then they find a special plant that turns their world completely upside down, and in the end the humans have to leave their paradise and become real adults who have to work to make a living and to feed themselves.

I feel like I've heard this story before...

Its message about consumerism and environmentalism is so f**king obvious and blatant that, ok, yeah, sure, it's not about that at all.

No, no, it's a love story. Why? Because I say it is.

Watch the movie again. The "message" only seems blatant because that's what you made it out to be. There's maybe one or two scenes in the whole movie that don't feature either WALL-E or EVE. The only reason they return to Earth at the end is because EVE wants to take WALL-E back to fix him.

It's a love story -- it just happens to take place in a certain type of future. It's not a message movie any more so than Planet of the Apes is a message movie, or the Terminator is a message movie.

I think it is about all those things that are mentioned above. I really enjoyed it. Robot *love!
