I would argue that even 9-10 year-olds, unless they were fairly advanced, would understand the concepts of Earth being abandoned, the pile-up of trash and garbage, and the sedentary life-style that the humans lived. Even the relationship between Eve and Wall-E would probably go over the head's of younger children.
My brother went with our 3 and 5-year olds cousins and he said they were bored for most of it. They liked Wall-E and the characters but overall, they didn't "get it". |
Well, I went to see the movie with my 3 year old (Well 3.9, it was a few days before his 4th birthday) and he enjoyed it immensely.
I was curious about this, so I asked him what was the movie about, and he said:
"Wall-E is all alone, and then he meets EVE, and then they become friends, and then EVE has to take the plant to the spaceship, and then Wall-E wants to go with her, and then they find each other and are friends and are happy."
So, yeah, he missed the consumerism warning and the jabs at Walmart but he did enjoy the movie... I mean he watched it entirely without making a noise, and he rarely does that... he usually becomes distracted on the slow parts or just goes asleep.
And yet another word from our sponsors
