WALL-E Sends Mixed Messages
I saw WALL-E with my five year old on Saturday night. It was like a 90-minute lecture on the dangers of over consumption, big corporations, and the destruction of the environment. All this from mega-company Disney, who wants us to buy WALL-E kitsch for our kids that are manufactured in China at environment-destroying factories and packed in plastic that will take hundreds of year to biodegrade in our landfills.
As for me, I’m just tired of being preached to. Yes, I get that pollution isn’t a good thing. But I don’t think we’re on the edge of a global armageddon, and I don’t think that being anti-big business is the solution.
