Wal-Mart might not sell this film


60. "Wall-E"
Pixar is really good at what they do.

"Wall-E" is easily the darkest Disney film since "Bambi" or "Dumbo." It's set 800 years from now, when Earth is too polluted for human life. Wall-E is a trash compactor of sorts. He's alone on a lonely planet. His only friend is a cockroach. Everyone who lives in America will know this by now.

Easily the best 2008 film I've seen this year. It made its own world, created wholly original characters, used a song to help tell a story (think "Punch Drunk Love") and had a message that didn't preach and still gives hope. Top that, Dreamworks.
