Wall-e…what!?!

Warning…Before reading on… movie spoilers below!!!!

So I just returned from a wonderful…scratch that…eventful afternoon seeing Wall-e with my niece and nephew. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for being green, but when did the top environmentalists get together and decide that Hollywood as a whole needed to go green? Standing ovation to this idea, sure. Why not? Due to the fact it is one million degrees outside most of us are flocking to the theaters, so rightly so that is where they should bombard us with Eco-friendly ideas.

So here we are with a very cute little robot cleaning up after humans because we are all to lazy to do it ourselves. Nice. Humans are seen as materialistic hungry animals that flee the scene just in time and leave little, sweet Wall-e behind to clean things up. So there ya go kids…pick up your trash and recycle. Oh wait…it gets better. As we drift away from the destroyed planet earth we find ourselves on a “cruise” spaceship where the humans are living while the little wall-es clean up. And oh my, here we go…Obesity. All the humans have been riding scooters for 700 years and have forgotten how to walk. Plus, they’re huge. Now in the span of an hour and a half we have taught our children to protect the environment and their bodies. Please don’t think I’m against taking care of the environment or our children’s little bodies but I do find it sad that Hollywood now has to do it because parents aren’t. Well, I guess if they get it from someone… So here’s to being green….and healthy.

Oh and for the adults of these children seeing Wall-e and who weren’t convinced to become green…go see The Happening…Marky Mark running from the wind because our poor environmental decisions pissed of the trees! On second thought…just stick to Wall-e
