I just watched another amazing technical achievement from Pixar films.

The year is 2700. WALL•E, a robot, spends every day doing what he was made for. But soon, he will discover what he was meant for. From Academy Award®-winning director, Andrew Stanton (FINDING NEMO), WALL•E is the story of one robot's comic adventures as he chases his dream across the galaxy.

This latest Pixar film illustrates a convincing environmental theme where excessive waste, over-consumption, and an unsustainable lifestyle inevitably leads to the destruction of the Earth's natural ecosystem which then prompts the human race to temporarily leave the planet. Living in an "adult-Disney-fied" space station, the remaining humans become saddly obese and ultimately have to wait almost 700 years to return to Earth by the end of the movie.

I've noticed that the last string of Pixar feature films have embeded some sort of enviroment-related theme in their story plots or settings. Cars (suburban sprawl and freeway expansions impacting small communities; Finding Nemo (over fishing, pollution of oceans), and perhaps stretching it a little. Rataouille (fresh organic food).

Will this be a trend? I'm looking forward to the next Pixar film.

Join the adventures of Cuke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Cannoli, Chewbroccoli and the rest of the Organic Rebels fighting against Darth Tader and the Dark Side of the Farm.

When The Meatrix (www.themeatrix.com) launched in November 2003, the viral film broke new ground in online grassroots advocacy, creating a unique vehicle by which to educate, entertain and motivate people to create change. The Meatrix has been translated into more than 30 languages and is now the most successful online advocacy film ever with well over 15 million viewers worldwide.

Synopsis: FernGully: The Last Rain­forest (1992)
A cute little sprite named Crysta lives in a beautiful tropical rainforest. One day she flies above the forest's dense foliage to glimpse the outside world, and while there, she becomes infatuated with a human named Zak. He's a nice enough fellow, but he also happens to be a workman on the logging machine that threatens to destroy the lush and magical forest. Crysta decides to shrink young Zak down to her size so that he can see the world he is about to demolish from a different point of view.

A romance develops between the two, and the couple eventually join forces with some of Crysta's wacky rainforest friends to battle the humans. Unfortunately, our heroes have other enemies too: an evil woodland spirit called Hexxus has arisen from his slumber and, in between snacks of toxic waste, plans to destroy the forest.
