It's wild to see how much pushback this comment is getting. Really, people are pretending you can't see how "all the characters with no personal ambition are cartoonishly fat, and the only visual cue about their lack of ambition is their fatness, no exceptions" is fatphobic? Come on.
It's such a lazy visual shorthand on the part of the animators, too. The Earth-based part of the film had so much thoughtful and creative art design, I can understand if that was the part they really cared about, but "we didn't seriously think about the worldbuilding on the ship at all, why bother making an effort when you can just rely on thoughtless cliches like laziness = fatness" was even more of a letdown by comparison.

(Anonymous) 2026-06-14 12:50 am (UTC)(link)+10, Also surprised, Wall-E being criticised for this has been a thing for a while now. Just because they have in-universe reasoning it doesn't stop it from being a fatphobic trope. As someone who really likes Wall-E.

It is fatphobic, it was a discussion from a day 1 about Walle-e.
