Teach your children about the environment, take them to see WALL-E

July 24th, 2008 by sara

WALL-E is the perfect film at the perfect time. The film is set more than 700 years in the future. Consumerism has destroyed the planet, rubbish is everywhere. Humans have been living on a giant ship in space whilst a company sent robots to clean up all the rubbish and make the air breathable again.

I wont spoil much more than that, only to say that if you’re looking for a way of explaining the purpose of all this environmentalism to your kids, take them to see WALL-E. The beginning is like a children’s version of Blade Runner.

There is also a healthy dose of obesity, and a streak of dark humour for us grown-ups.

Believe the reviews, it really is the greatest children’s film since Toy Story.
