A robot that has been doing the same thing for 700 years without shutting down, and has developed a personality from quirks? Sounds Like some serious discussion could be derived from that. Americananimation isn't just for kids... although a lot of people seem to think that. Most of it is, I will agree. But Pixar branches out from that. From what I've read about the plot, although yes, it's G rated and kids won't be warped from watching it, I think a lot of will be geared to an older audience and will go right over the kids heads...

XD However, the not so subtle socio/political commentary really turned off my parents. They didn't enjoy it and the ride home was quiet and utterly depressing. Personally, I thought it was okay, although I too thought some things pushed the envelope a little much, even for Pixar.
