Stuart Jeffries in the Guardian spots the irony in the UK release of the summer's biggest blockbuster for kids,
'WALL-E is about a robot who has spent the past 700 years cleaning up an Earth that has long been rendered uninhabitable thanks to our wasteful lifestyles.

That, the film implicitly warns its child audience, could be your future unless you shape up.'
