4. Who is WALL-E?
Eve just learned to love Wall-e, just as Wall-e was reaching the pinnacle of discovering who he was–and now he has no idea who he is. Wall-e is without a doubt the most adorable, super hero character of Pixar. Wall-e is all about everything the tiny robot has learned, and to have it completely erased, especially in sight of Eve’s revelation, is disheartening. Wall-e has become unique, exceptional, one of a kind–then everything we know about him is stripped from his memory. We have to watch as Wall-e basically becomes nothing in light of the movie, we witness the loss of it all. Could you imagine that happening to a love one? They have no idea who you are? You no longer exist despite everything you have done for each other. But then with a spark of love (literally) Wall-e returns. One of the few movie moments that make me sad to watch until all is good again.
I’d have had Toy Story inferno as number 1, I was extremely distressed. Have you seen the Toy Story 3 prank ending? —> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phFISjORzQs
Other than the ‘I don’t have a dad’ scenes in Up you’ve pretty much nailed it. Would’ve been a lot harder to narrow it down to 10 though if it was all Disney films! Obviously Muphasa dying would be #1 in that list.
The ‘I don’t have a dad’ moment in UP slipped my mind. That would have definitely been on this list. Good call.
