WALL-E is smart and engaging — charming, even. It’s also, at least so far as this sentient adult is concerned — devastating.

But: PS: I love WALL-E. I mean the character. He’s the new Charlie Chaplin, and I can vouch that the theatre full of kids that I saw the movie with didn’t need a primer in silent film. Not that WALL-E is silent, technically — it’s anything but. But there’s no intelligible dialogue for most of the interesting characters. It’s R2-D2 without C-3PO to interpret.
