This is one thing that irks me. Knowing that this was a Disney movie, and knowing what they did, you gave them your money. You said you support them with your decision to see this movie.
Gonna do it again..? I hope not. Make a stand.

I understand that there’s at least one gratuitous shot at Bush in the movie that was slightly jarring to some conservative reviewers.

Which, of course, isn’t anything like how Americans actually are or will ever be, but I guess that doesn’t really matter.
Let me get this straight: the depiction of humans in an animated film, that includes spaceships and robots, unrealistic. Gasp.

And it is back on the Axiom that the story really begins to get disturbing. The humans on board the ship have turned into blimps who are shuttled about on hovering recliners and care for nothing but what is shown them on there ever-present view screens. This is no doubt how most liberals see the American public. Fat. Stupid. And totally enthralled by the consumerism and media promoted by massive corporations.
I hate to disagree with the “conservative rebuttal”, but that does describe a great many Americans. We are getting fatter, lazier, less intelligent, and prone to buy crap that looks cool on TV. It’s hard to see the massive support that Obama has, the number of people who are more concerned with American Idol than world affairs, things like “Yahoo Buzz” which allow people to rate Jamie Lynn Spears pregnancy as more important than the DC gun ban case, etc...and conclude we’re an intelligent, informed, active, and alert society.
I’m going to modify the old saying to apply to Americans: The worst people on Earth...except all others.

Got to agree with At, you knew what it was going to be. Its Disney.
I quit watching their crap quite some time ago. Boy is well past their influence, and ridicules the obvious stupidity in most child oriented leftard propaganda. Some is just beyond laughing at, even for a 12 year old.

One of the many reasons I don’t go to movies any more. The cinema has ceased to be entertainment and is now one of the liberal propaganda arms.

your average soy latte-sipping, Obama-voting, Che-flat-waving liberal.

Hollywood is a propaganda wing of the Defeatocrats/leftards.

I’m going to go see it because I hear it’s great from a coworker, I am a Pixar fan, and I do video graphics for a living.
Look at it this way: the bulbous, lazy humans are that way because:
1- collecting welfare made them lazy and fat;
2- liberal unionized public schools made them stupid;
3- secularism left them apathetic;
4- the evil corporations are owned and chaired by the same elitist liberals that rail against them (a la Clinton, Obama, and pretty much any Democrat in high office);
4- they’re bedazzled by the liberal media because of 1-3.
See? It’s pretty easy, really. Then you can enjoy a show about a cute robot and laugh as you point out the end product of liberalism.

I saw the movie as proof of what could happen when you allow people to submit to the will of socialism. Albeit, this was socialism led by computers and Fred Willard, but socialism nonetheless.
They become mindless zombies more than content to allow a central authority figure to lord over them.
I also saw it as a case of no matter how much trash had accumulated on Earth, that the planet can still survive. While I, like most people, feel we should still be good stewards of the planet for reasons having nothing to do with global warming, I still feel that our planet and mother nature are far more powerful than all of mankind.
No matter how much damage we could do to the planet, it will still survive.
But all that aside, I saw it as a movie first and foremost and suspended reality going in because I wanted to enjoy it. And I did.
