I mentioned not long ago how I took my kids to see the Disney movie Wall-E. Not only did my kids love it, I Evaloved it, and my mother loved. It was just a great feel good movie for everyone and I swear I almost cried a couple times…no it wasn’t sad…just really, really sweet.

The best part about the movie though is the strong environmental theme. I have a green family and we try to maintain a green household but I try not to do too much lecturing on green issues because I don’t want them to feel resentful. This movie makes the eco theme very fun and enjoyable and really puts things in simple terms so kids understand the urgency.

The basic story is that Wall-E, an adorable little robot that is left on planet earth alone while humans have abandoned the planet after it can no longer sustain life. Wall-E collects little knick-knacks as mementos and spends his days compacting garbage and making skyscraper tall stacks with them. One day a spaceship drops off another robot named Eva and her directive is to find evidence that the planet can sustain life again. In the event that she finds this evidence she must report back to the humans who are know living in space on a space cruise ship of sorts.

So can Eva find any evidence that earth can be inhabited again? How did it get this way in the first place? Can Wall-E and Eva bring humans back to earth and help them take care of their planet this time? I hope you’ll watch the movie and find out.

Wall-E is being released just in time for Christmas. Preorder your copy now!
