Movie Time
My boys tend to beat a movie to death. They'll ask for the same movie over and over until we introduce something new that grabs their attention for weeks on end. Most recently it was Cars 2. They have since changed the subject of their affections to Wall-E.
Cars 2 is an okay movie, I guess. I don't find anything objectionable about it. It's fine entertainment, but not great.
Wall-E, on the other hand, is art. The first thirty to forty-five minutes of the flick are essentially a silent movie. A well-told silent movie. The movie has gorgeous visuals and knows how to make best use of them.
I don't mind putting my kids down in front of a Pixar flick for any period of time. They're all good movies. But some of their movies rise to the status of "art", and Wall-E's their best work.
