Right-Wing Idiots on "WALL-E"
Shannen Coffin: From the first moment of the film, my kids were bombarded with leftist propaganda about the evils of mankind. It’s a shame, too, because the robot had promise. The story was just awful, however.
Greg Pollowitz: It was like a 90-minute lecture on the dangers of over consumption, big corporations, and the destruction of the environment. … Much to Disney’s chagrin, I will do my part to avoid future environmental armageddon by boycotting any and all WALL-E merchandise and I hope others join my crusade.
Glenn Beck: I can’t wait to teach my kids how we’ve destroyed the Earth. … Pixar is teaching. I can’t wait. You know if your kid has ever come home and said, “Dad, how come we use so much styrofoam,” oh, this is the movie for you.
It makes you wonder just what kind of delusional denial you have to be in to think that a childrens' movie with themes of taking care of the earth is a bad thing. With people like this at the helm, we're heading straight to hell in a hand basket.

That said, folks of any political affiliation that bring up the irony of this particular film being a Disney/Pixar production are right on. I'm more than willing to forgive D/P, as the message is much more important than the hypocrisy, but it can't and doesn't go unnoticed. Still, I wonder if Wal-Mart is gonna stop carrying Disney's merchandise....
