Dir. Andrew Stanton
Rating: [G]

Aroview: Another stroke of Pixar genius, this time one for our conservationist times, this is the delightful eco-tale of the last surviving "waste allocation" robot whose life is changed by the arrival of a hi-tech soulmate named "Eve".

The first 40 minutes is a model of visual storytelling with just the two characters and almost no dialogue, with the beautifully rendered 'life-like' animation once again trumping Pixar's previous bar-setting standards. The second half takes several unexpected twists though it explores more conventional and familiar territory, but like all of Pixar's best films, it has a satisfying sense of purpose underlying its reliably sharp and abundant humour, innovation, and techno-dazzle.
