Condescending twits... like the people in response to the initial secret who imply anyone who doesn't heap praise on this movie doesn't have a soul or doesn't know the first thing about movies? Maybe it's my bad for saying it the way I did, but it gets a little frustrating when people who dare to think the movie had FLAWS(not bashing it, but just saying it wasn't perfect) are attacked.

I agree the work in the film is technically impressive. However, I'm not sure I'd call it innovative. Short animated features have been doing this sort of thing for years. 9(the original short) and More are two that jump to mind that accomplish their goals in similar fashion, and Pixar's had a few shorts like that as well. I can attest from experience, telling a story and conveying emotion when your characters don't speak(at least not in the conventional sense) is probably one of, if not THE hardest thing to do in writing, and I really do think my issues with the movie start after we get other characters involved. I'm not sure I'd call it innovative.

Burtt's sound work in the movie is tremendous... I love how he invents a new soundscape for every film he does... but I'm not sure it was, on the whole, that much more inventive than his work on Star Wars. He had to do more with it, quite true. And I think Burtt's work conveys more emotion than the conventional VAs later in the movie. Then again, people have always had an easy time connecting with R2-D2, another character whose emotions were conveyed through Burtt's work.

The real test, of course, is to see what we're saying several years down the line. I think Wall-E could be an important step in seeing animation branch out more. If the movie helps animation continue to grow as a genre, I'm ultimately all for it.

Personally speaking, though, I never expected Wall-E to get the Best Picture nod, anyway. Just like the New York Times developing a separate Young Adult Bestseller section, the Academy likely threw the Best Animated Picture bone to keep the "kid movies" from taking attention away from the "serious work". Maybe Wall-E will, if nothing else, start to change that.
