Everyone Loves Wall-E, especially Lovefilm

IMDB users aren’t the only ones raving about Wall-E, Pixar’s latest flick.

Currently rated number 19 in the Internet Movie Database list of the top 250 films ever made, Wall-E has also been given rave reviews by the online DVD rental giant, LoveFilm.

Tom Charity from the UK DVD rental site LoveFilm has rated Wall-E a maximum of 5 stars, noting that ‘the animation is superb’ and that it is ‘filled with grace and beauty.’

Wall-E was released in UK cinemas on the 18th July, just in time for the summer holidays and we suspect it will be one of the most popular DVD rental titles come the end of the summer.

While Lovefilm thinks Wall-E is good, is Lovefilm any good? Find out here.
