"Not meeting one's potential is not a crime."

Not for a person, but for a work it sort of is actually I think.

Iron Giant is a brilliant movie.

You'd be right. I agree with your assessment of Pixar and my interest in WALL-E. Cars actually left me pretty cold because I didn't particular find the characters appealing, but I LOVED WALL-E (the character). On the other hand, I'm a rocket scientist and not a grease monkey. My husband, the cook, liked Ratatouille. If it makes you feel better, I liked Iron Giant (the mostly forgotten) as well.

Not meeting one's potential is not a crime. It's an interesting concept and I see no reason not to expect more in the future.

I have yet to see "9" but I've been reading reviews like this to decide whether I should go now or wait for the DVD release. I think I'll be catching it in theatres soon... it seems like such a unique concept, and I really loved Acker's short. It would be cool to have a mini-Burton in Hollywood.

You seem to mention Wall E at me an awful lot… just noting.

I think back past Wall E to Cars, which I think did a more interesting job, and was wicked fun, but I didn't really hate Wall E or anything.

The thing about Pixar is that the overall creative team is just genius.

In this case, we have a guy who basically made a student film that got noticed by Tim Burton, so he rockets to getting a feature expansion, but gets saddled with a very average screenwriter. What's he going to do really?

But, I'm hopeful for future things from him.

Sadly, I was also sorely disappointed and I’m less won over by dazzling graphics or action squences (yes, they were good). As I might have mentioned before, I’m a character viewer/reader and the potential to make great characters of our burlap whatevers was never plumbed.

In the end, my husband and I were both left unfulfilled, both by the story, the points (or lack thereof) or characters, grateful, actually, we got cheap seats.

I think back to WALL-E, which didn’t fare well in your review (just noting, not criticizing), and I think of the stories, characters and emotional responses my husband and I had to that somewhat nonesensical but ultimately touching story, it’s hard not to feel very let down by the movie here.
