#4 WALL-E by Andrew Stanton

Pixar has been top dog for awhile when it comes to animated filmmaking. They kicked off their shining career with Toy Story and with other greats like The Incredibles and Finding Nemo have become the reigning king of all things wonderful. It was this summer, however, that Pixar took everything to a new level with WALL-E their incredibly deep, socially conscious, and sincerely and simply wonderful tale of a little, lonely robot searching for his place in a big world. There is never moment that isn't to love and in the end we all find a new way to look at the world and each other. I remember telling people that it made me want to hug everyone for a week.
