Because I work for the company that's releasing it, and because it's animation, I get to see Wall-E twice for free! The first time was Wednesday night, when they showed it at the studio for animation employees and their families; the second is a Prince Caspian-like booking of an entire Burbank cinema on Saturday to show the rest of the company and their guests. This gives me the chance to do a two-pronged review, encapsulating my first impressions and what I take away from the movie the second time. I don't know if that is terribly interesting to anyone but me, but you're free to skip it if you wish. I shall endeavour to avoid spoilers whenever possible, but I can't vouch for the comments.

Before I forget: stay for the credits. The art department really shows off, and even when they step off the stage it's entertaining for a while. If you can keep still for a little longer, there is a very short and wry little ding at the very very end.
So, what did you think? What was your audience like? Having seen it twice with grown-up movie people I have no idea how it's being received at large; even the ones with children have taught them to be respectful and quiet in the theatre.
