I think this thread already addresses Cars 2.
If not about conservation (and gluttony, sloth, etc.), then what was the message of WALL-E?
Rampant over-consumption? Good. People buy tons of shit they can’t pay for. They get tricked into buying it just to keep up with the neighbors or to make themselves feel better (like a fat chick and a half-gallon of Rocky Road). Somebody needs to call them on it. I’d rather see people (or even corporations like Disney) pointing out our flaws than have the government do it by mandate.
As a conservative, there was absolutely NOTHING about WALL-E that made me uncomfortable with myself (other than my extra 25 lbs, of which I have lost 20, thank you ;) So, thanks, WALL-E.
Wall-E was nothing more than the animated version of algore’s the “Day After Tomorrow”...the “where all doomed if we don’t drastically change our way of life yesterday” nutcases...
i was not uncomfortable with Wall-E either- i laughed my butt off at it...and while i enjoy pixar movies to dismiss that lassiter has a far left wing ideology in his movies is just ignorant...
