I saw it today with my little sisters. I loved it. While I understood the "social commentary" (the fact that the humans did nothing, incredibly lazy and incredibly, how to put this nicely, overweight), I doubt my sisters did. Either way I thought the movie was cute. Wall-e was adorable (is that the right word?).

My wife and kids (10 and 7) saw it Sunday; I couldn't go with them. They all liked it okay, but I didn't get the sense that any of them loved it. We had polled a bunch of college-aged friends before going to see it: They were pretty evenly divided between those who liked it and those who really hated it. Many thought that the social commentary in it was too heavy-handed and too depressing (for children) -- and these are people who are pretty socially-conscious.

All in all, I'm in no hurry to see it; but then, I thought the trailors for it looked boring.

I took my son and two of his cousins to see it (aged 4,5 & 6) and they all liked it. I thought it was okay. However, I did think it was really strange that they gave out plastic junky Wall*E watches. I mean, isn't the point of the movie that we have too much garbage? Yet they gave us junk watches. Odd.

I took my 8 year old nephew on opening night. We both loved it. I thought he might not like it because the themes were definately "heavy." We always talk about the movies and he caught on to the idea that people needed more exercise and with a little prompting got the rest of the messages. I was really impressed with him!
