Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles and Ratatouille are a few films that come to mind when Pixar are mentioned.

Wall-E is their latest endeavour and will be remembered as one of their best.

Set in the far future where earth is a desolate, polluted planet, to toxic for humans to inhabit, we find Wall-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth Class), our robot protagonist, cleaning up the world.

First thought up in 1995 as a kind of "R2D2 the movie", Wall-E, whilst a fun, family movie, does contain some more adult concepts.

The ideas of our planet being polluted beyond belief and society becoming so lazy that we rely on computers, for practically everything are both very real points in the modern world.

The first half hour of the movie is similar to the loneliness concepts of I Am Legend. Aldo during this time, there is little to no dialogue and this is pulled off very well.

The animation is intensively detailed- from the decaying rust on Wall-E to the shimmer of Eve, nothing is missed. Each of the non-human characters looks incredibly real and the backgrounds are also meticulously rendered.

Whilst the human characters are cartoon like, the film actually tries to explain the reasoning behind this- although hard to believe, it is a genuine attempt.

The themes of 'save the planet' and 'love conquers all' may seem difficult to fathom, but even the hardest, hearted cynic could be bubbling by the end of Wall-E.

Wall-E is out now in cinemas nationwide.
