    I agree with most posts. Very cute, not Wall-e, but cute. I'll take an alien puppy. #planet51

    I got enough oil-peeing robots in Transformers, thank you. But at least the makers of this movie had the sense to keep a stupid gag like that in a dumb fun kid's flick where it belongs. #planet51

    Cuter than wall-e? Not ever going to happen. You're comparing a simple marketing toy that literally looks like my old webcam to a completely fleshed out and academy award winning character that for almost an entire year captured the hearts of the world and brought the message of conservation to the masses.

    Plus wall-e had two eyes. #planet51

    WALL-E wins the battle easily thanks to the lack of pee jokes in his movie, not to mention being totally cuter.

    I love how Rover is afraid of the storm until he learns it only rains rocks.

    Adorable!

    That space suit is really tough, to withstand all that slapstick. #planet51

    @alchemisto: Seriously, now that I'm home and can watch the clips... this movie is going to be terrible. (like every Dreamcast movie).

    Because unlike PIXAR, dreamcast has never learned to build movies with a soul. #planet51

    Whenever I see the commercials for "Planet 51" they remind me of the "Farscape" episode "I, ET'. Not that that is going to stop me from using the kids as an excuse to see it.

    [edit] I meant to type 'not that that is going to stop me, being a responsible adult, generous with my time, from selflessly accompanying the young ones to a film that I, as a grown-up, wouldn't otherwise be interested in' (until it came out on dvd).

    @blackoak: Yeah! And it reminds me of an old Transformers episode (pre-Rodimus Prime) where they were transported to another planet which was sort of like earth except for the aliens, and the transformers were miniture in comparison! I really want to watch it again. #planet51
