Are We There Yet?

We saw the latest Pixar film, WALL*E last week.  I’m a big fan of the Pixar pictures, my favorite being “The Incredibles”.  Being a little disappointed with their most recent offering of”Ratatouille”, I was looking forward to WALL*E.  I liked it and give it an A-.  Contrary to many who thought the movie was mainly a statement about caring for the environment (not that there’s anything wrong with that), I thought the messages that came through were that we are made for more than surviving, but for living and that we are made for and need relationships.  Both messages are solidly rooted in the Christian worldview.  The movie portrayed how technology can serve to distance us from one another and genuine connection while all the while keeping us “connected”.   Life is not meant to be one giant cruise ship kind of a experience.  After all, God put Adam and Eve in the garden and gave them a job, making them stewards of His creation.  WALL*E is worth seeing, in my humble opinion.
