Them bringing in Roger Deakins sounds a lot to me like Google hiring Ken Thompson. I don't think it is to work. I think they were fans and wanted an excuse to have these men around. Not that there's anything wrong with that! I'd do it!
Short films are far more likely to be good than features. There are lots of features that just don't have enough of a story to be that long. I understand why people do it. It's easier to get a film shown widely if it is a feature. So you end up with 30-minute films stretched to 90. OTOH, short films are as long as they need to be.
I haven't seen WALL-E but it has been recommended to me. Generally, screenplays for animated films are better. I've always assumed this is because it's a lot harder to fix animation in post.
Everyone's reliance on their phones is very odd to me. For as long as I could read, I always had a book with me and I read while walking. It was fine. I got comfortable knowing I was a freak. But then everyone was doing it! And I think it is bad. It works for me because I am extremely introverted. But that can't be true of all these other people! I worry about them.
I've long hated 4K. But I was recently at a distant in-law who had a huge TV. And I thought, "Okay. I can see getting 4K for that." But here's the thing: they aren't into films. They don't have film parties. They have this huge TV because they are rich. It's just something they bought so WALL-E will have work in the future.
Man, I've actually almost gotten hitten by cars crossing intersections while reading books! I'm more careful, now.
I'm sure you're right about the cost of fixing an animated movie in post vs a regular movie. And the script here ain't bad. It's just not as good in the stretched-out parts as it is in the best-conceived part. You'd like the opening credit music a LOT, I'm sure.
I'd actually like a slightly larger TV, just because subtitles are frequently too small now... and my eyes aren't getting younger. But too big is really too big. If you're watching some beautiful, gorgeously-shot film, that's one thing. What if you're watching the morning weather report? Or anything at all with ads, really?
Yeah, we're gonna leave a lot of trash behind for the future WALL-Es to clean up. It makes me think of a mashup of this and The Terminator. Skull-faced killer cyborgs are hunting down the last humans, assisted by cheery chirping trash robots; all around are mounds of bones, 4KTVs, and Disney merchandise.
Terminator X: And Then Came WALL-E. I like it! Actually, I have Disney+ (it's just $1/mo more to add to Hulu). So I think I'll go watch it. It is about time!
