I've been waiting for this movie to come out for quite some time. I thought the little robot was so cute and we were going to see his daily ins and outs while he cleaned up Earth. At least that is what the previews made me believe. To my suprise that was just the first 20 mins. or so. The rest of the movie took place on this spaceship filled with fat people who did nothing but ride around in these movable recliners with a screen in front of them chatting with their friends and constantly drinking their breakfast, lunch and dinner. They were oblivious to what was going on anywhere but the screen right in front of their face. They were so fat they couldn't even walk. Even the babies were all fat. There wasn't one skinny person there.
Now I am very comfortable with my size and I think it would be awesome to live in a place where everybody was the same size but somehow this did not sit well with me at all. I felt very uncomfortable and slightly offended. Especially since they were depicted as "too fat to function". It kind of reminded me of some of the threads around here talking about immobility.
I didn't realize how political Disney really was. I would like to hear your take on the movie.
