Wall-e was such a great movie, the little sprites during the credits were neat too :)

Agreed. My fav' pixar movie yet. That is until "Up" comes around, but never count your eggs before they hatch...or however that saying goes.

   I'm just starting to get annoyed by great comedy movies that are coming out, but always have some group who feel they're being made fun of. Wall-E being the victim of over-weight people's accusations. Tropical Thunder accused of some form of Racism(but seriously, why don't we just raise hell with about 95% of all movies created, as nearly all have some form of racism in them).
   And also, the issue where movies can't have the character pointing a gun at the camera being ordained "tasteless"...can someone explain that one to me? Tasteless? As opposed to movies like "not another teen movie", "disaster movie", "epic movie" and "superhero movie" are tasteful? Please, explain this to an ignorant American like myself...

fat people complained about Wall-e?

What else would happen to people spending 700 years in chairs and drinking every meal from a super sized cup?
I thought it was interesting how there was no social stigma about being obese, it wasn't even an issue in the movie.

My bad, Tropical Thunder wasn't the one with racism. No, it got heat for it's frequent use of the word "retard", by educational/disability groups, by Stiller's character...

The people that complain about that kind of stuff should find something better to do.

Bob is a much cooler name than Sprite. Spriting should be called Bobbing.

(Bobs and Sprites are slightly different tho)

Well he is called Guybrush because Deluxepaint has something which is called a brush, same thing Promotion does as well.
On the Amiga Sprites are called Bobs tho, Blitterobjects.
