Went to see Wall-E yesterday...
Great film !

A lot of geography in there, and also comment on a dystopian future where humanity has abandoned the planet, and now lives in space on a vessel called the Axiom. Loads of wonderful scenes and imagery, and good homages to other films.

Plenty on the power of multinationals: particularly the BUY 'N' LARGE corporation which provides the environment for humanity's refuge, while Wall-E's clean up the planet. The film also ends with a brilliant Peter Gabriel track, which I currently have playing on repeat... Superb bass, and loping gait, and excellent lyrics. Can't wait for the Big Blue Ball...
Logo of Buy N Large
Superb design !

If you go to the BUY N LARGE site, you are taken to the WALL-E site, but before the film opened, there was a detailed site.

Will try to develop some more ideas soon related to the movie.

Agree an excellent film. Am working on some ideas myself around the film for use in a sustainability unit next year.

Will fling what I can your way.

Cheers David.
Sustainability is one obvious concept covered in the movie...

Wonder how many others people could spot...
