Me watching this 10 years ago: man, these little robots are so cool
Me watching this now: man, the warnings against a society destroyed by rampant consumerism and the dangers of a human race gone lazy, the little details/ jokes/ Easter eggs that you can find if you pause, that whole BURN-E bonus feature masterpiece, all of the wonderful 2001 references, the cg, sound design, score, and all those little robots are so cool
God damnit the stupid chessboard is set up wrong. I've never noticed that before now and I'll never be able to unseen it.
I don't care film still peak
The "throw-it-away-inator" which picks up modern problems and just tosses them out of sight for someone to deal with in the future is ABSOLUTELY a metaphor for pollution and climate change (alongside basically the whole film as well) and I love it
