The only complaint I've heard about the widely beloved Wall-E is that it works by an easy, lazy "fat=lazy" connection, relying on society's long standing prejudice against the over-fat (that is the PC term, right?)
I have one quote for you: "(guy to now-obese Homer) Let me guess, computer technician? Computer repairman? Computer programmer?...something with computers!...Hhhm, I wonder what it is, must be something to do with the non-stop sitting and snacking..."
Only fat internet losers who live on Livejournal and Secondlife would complain about Wall-E being anti-fat. The movie is anti-consumerism, anti-junkfood, anti-sitting in a chair beind mindlessly entertained by television, low-quality corn-based junk food and advertisements for the same.
The only problem I had with Wall-E is that is is a virtuosic CGI product mass-marketed to huge movie theaters that make all their money off of 2000% mark-up popcorn, candy and soda.
