Perhaps you all should get together and put together a film that portrays the opposite. Besides, have you ever considered that the statement was more broad - pointing out the "laziness of mankind" verses directing it at fat people? sometimes we get so hung-up on identifying with a group that it clouds our common sense...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12880445.post-58663422630887601422009-11-17T19:58:35.904-08:002009-11-17T19:58:35.904-08:00Wow!

I hope others who have seen the film will comment as well.etathednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12880445.post-86921808859957310442009-11-09T13:21:48.505-08:002009-11-09T13:21:48.505-08:00Glad to see you coming out in support of the fanta...Glad to see you coming out in support of the fantastic film. I'm fat and love WALL-E to death. Not only is the problem in WALL-E not depicted as the human's being fat (rather them being too cut off from humanity and absorbed in their own little worlds via their hover chairs and screens) but also it is explained quite clearly in the middle of the film that these aren't people who are just lazy and not exercising. While there would surely be fat people anyway because, well, we exist, the explanation in the film is quite simple: the humans are suffering from bone loss due to spending many generations in micro-gravity. This is illustrated *in pictures* on the screen as Shelby Forthright explains it and shows the humans losing bones and ballooning up. Yet people *still* seem to think the movie is about fat people and how terrible there are, even some of the fans are misguided enough to think this! It's a fairly idiotic assumption given the photographic and audio evidence we hear to discount it in the film, but it seems people will see a boogie man wherever they can find one these days.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807540876820093628noreply@blogger.com
