Review:
WALL.E is a well-deserved, high anticipated animated event of the year. Though with little dialogues, the message that the movie was trying to deliver to the audience was well-interpreted. On top of that, the cutesy designs and voices of the robots melt the hearts of many. This movie definitely proves that 'Silence is gold' and a good example of non-verbal communication. Even in the cases of robots, it is impossible not to interact as silence is part of of communication. The interaction between Wall.e and Eve is a also a good depiction of a transactional model of communication because communication is made using noise and the environment. Also, following the long line of Pixar classics - beautiful, energetic, intelligent, satirical, crammed full of gorgeous design, and genuinely heartwarming, Wall.e has displayed another high standard quality of a pixar production.
Nonetheless, the movie may not appeal to the masses. Especially to movie goers looking for action-packed and more intellectually challenged movie. With little conversations, Wall.e may bore, if you just knock off from a tiring day at work. However, it is definitely, a must catch movie for parents hoping to bring their children out for a fun-filled day.
Personally, i enjoyed the movie given its adorable and emotional depiction of the characters. Also, the movie delivered a hidden message that gives a good warning to all earthlings that we ought to take better good care of our home.
catch it if you can.
now comment! :D

I've never bothered to read the yahoo reviews on Wall.e or watch their trailers, but your title really catches my attention. And so I finally watched & read them, and hey, it sounds really interesting.
Good observation on the "non-verbal communication" the characters. It made me realise that so many other cartoons are heavily dependent on that too (think: Pokemon). And to think that I've never realised that when I was watching that when I was 10 years old or so. lol
Never really thought of slience being a way of communication pointed out by u haha. Guess it could work.
Also you might wanna post maybe a rating of the movie?
I'd rate it 4/5, a must watch for anyone who wants a good laugh.
Heard that this is one of the greatest production from Pixar.
I have never been a fan of animation, and I am not giving Mr. Wall-E a chance here. I'll prob. catch the show on Ch5 in a year's time if I'm w my TV on a Sunday night. :)
