It’s the little things....

I took my kids to see Wall-e Thursday afternoon and I was totally expecting to like it. I'm a huge Pixar fan after all. My biggest dream/fantasy is that I could have been born with uber supreme talents for animation and story creation and I could be one of the lucky souls to work on a Pixar production. (or a horror movie FX tech, but that's another dream/fantasy!).

Back to what suprised me about Wall-e: I found myself adoring that cute little robotic dude. Like I said, I usually do love pixar, but I do always know that I am watching a kid geared movie with commercialized toy tie ins. In this movie I simply lost myself and was able to utterly enjoy the experience. Yes, I can see that there will surely be the consumer tie ins, but I didn't expect to enjoy this film as much as I did! It was poignant and flip and bitingl all at once while being completely wonderful!

After a very *trying* week (month, +++???) at work and dealing with idiotic people in other aspects of my life I found this 2 hours in the theater a real retreat (popcorn and coffee aside!). It's probably going to be one of those memories I will carry around with me when I'm 99.... the afternoon I took my little ones to a movie and found myself falling in love with it as much as, if not more than, they did!
