Strong praise from the blogosphere, Ebert & Roper, and just about everyone else for this instant classic. As a character, Wall-E is “better than R2D2″, according to tech blog Engadget, because “R2D2 was just a glorified extra”.

We can’t be sure if R2D2 would’ve had a future as a leading man, but by sheer unanimous adoration, Wall-E is the most adorable bucket-with-a-brain yet. Bottom Line: take the kids!
