Top 10 films of the decade: #3

#3. Wall-E
(Andrew Stanton, 2008)

Pixar's ninth feature length production and consecutive box office hit showcases the greatest animation studio of the present day at the top of its game, both its artistry and its storytelling having matured to the extent that the viewer is no longer focused on the technology behind the movie. Given my love of the medium, it always rankles me when people consider it praise to say that they forgot a film was animated, but in the case of Wall-E, the technical wizardry and the portrayal of the characters' emotions are such that it stands toe to toe with the best live action films in terms of believability.
