I saw the movie with my kids, and it was an amazingly beautiful project. When I saw Walle with them, the message was very clear Humans=bad, Humans=stupid, Humans=greedy. I found walle hard to stomach. This movie is different, Yes, humans are a threat to this planet but in the end, it is a human who becomes the hero. I think that this is one of those movies that can supply whatever opinion you are looking for. I would see it again.

The human doesn’t become the “hero” until he commits treason against the human race and kills countless humans.

I read a review that suggested that the movie was racist because of that. It took a human to lead the "Indians"...sort of a paternalistic taking care of the lessers sort of thing. Not having seen the movie I don't have an appropriate perspective to comment on that but I thought it was an interesting take on it.

I don't go to movies much anymore...probably one or two per year these days. I remember when I went to Happy Feet I was so ticked that I'd been tricked into paying to watch propaganda I nearly marched my kids out of the movie and demanded our money back.
