The Los Angeles Film Critics Association just named Wall-E the best motion picture of the year. The film, which is about a whimsical little trash robot and the horrible fat people who enslave him, depicts a universe in which Earth has become uninhabitable, skyscraper-high towers of garbage strewn about a brown-earthed, brown-skied wasteland. It's bleak! But it's also animated and cute and hopeful in its own wise way and it will win Best Picture at the Oscarcademy Awards this year.
