As an unabashed Pixar geek, I'll quickly note -- for my fellow Pixar geeks in the audience -- that Jim Hill Media has two articles with spoiler-ish teasers for the computer-animated film studio's next movies, Ratatouille and WALL-E.

The Ratatouille article discusses a scene from the middle of the movie, which will be screened to the public at Wondercon 2007 this weekend.

The WALL-E article gives a rundown on the basic premise of the movie, as well as the Chaplan-esque opening to Andrew Stanton's sci-fi satire.

For those of you wishing to remain spoiler-free, of course, don't click the links...

(And don't get me started on Happy Feet and the Oscars, either. Was it just an anti-Pixar snub from Hollywood?)

The preview of WALL-E fills me with a desire to not see the film. There's a difference between retro and tired, and it sounds like the satire of the storyline is just plain tired.

To me, the description for WALL-E sounds like it risks crossing the line into being heavy-handed preachiness, but I think a lot of it will depend on the execution. I'm not entirely sure where I see "tired" from, though.

The whole "we're all gonna be huge couch potatoes in float chairs" thing is decades old. I mean, I saw a version of it in a 1960s MAD Magazine.
