If your "two tickets, please," is for last weekend's <a href="http://buzzsugar.com/1746790" >#1 flick</a>, Pixar's <b>Wall-E</b>, you might be getting a jumbo bucket of leftist propaganda with your price of admission. But it's a cartoony-thing, right?! But it's a cartoon-y thing with an apparently serious leftist message. </p> <p><center><object width="425" height="344"><br /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YRNJvEOQ54g&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YRNJvEOQ54g&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center></p> <p>The <b>National Review</b>'s global-warming blog <a href="http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/06/30/another-brick-in-the-wall-e/?ref=opinion" target="_blank">says</a> “it was like a 90-minute lecture on the dangers of over consumption, big corporations, and the destruction of the environment.” Oh! That sounds like a cute and funny movie! What??</p> <p>But wait, there's more! Glenn Beck <a href="http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/11941/" target="_blank">says</a>, "I just see Wally and he's on the Earth and he's cleaning stuff up and I looked at my wife and I said, it's a frickin' global warming movie, it is how we destroyed the Earth." Over at Dirty Harry's Place (a conservative look at film, punk) Harry <a href="http://dirtyharrysplace.com/?p=2127" target="_blank">says of the Pixar tale</a>, "they stop things cold, yanking you out of the story with the liberal nonsense. Quite a disappointment. Anyway…"</p> <p>Lars Larson was on with Dan Abrams backing all of this up, <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2008/07/02/larson-robot-marriage/" target="_blank">saying</a> it gives "little kids the idea that human beings are bad for planet Earth." At Townhall, they agree with the propaganda claim, but <a href="http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/PaulEdwards/2008/07/02/wall-es_indictment_of_liberalism" target="_blank">say</a> it's "actually a brilliant exposure of liberalism’s flaws."</p> <p>Is all of this possible out of a cartoon? Is <b>Wall-E</b> propaganda in the world's cutest package? </p> <p>Check out Buzz's <a href="http://buzzsugar.com/1740644" >brilliant review</a> for more info on the plot and characters - and hey, 4.5 out of 5 stars ain't bad!</p> <!-- no strip poll --><form action="/1756477" method="post" id="epoll_view_voting"> <div><div class="poll"> <div class="vote-form"> <div class="choices"><div class="form-item"> <label>&quot;Two Tickets For Wall-E Leftist Propaganda, Please.&quot; Possible?</label> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-0-1756477" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-0-1756477" name="edit[choice]" value="0-1756477" class="form-radio" /> It's not only possible, it's probable.
