Pixar's new film Wal*E is based on this?
Is that right?
If so, terrific!

Maybe I'm just dense and can't sense symbolism for s***t, but I saw it and didn't sense any similarity to City Lights (keep in mind that I was looking for similarities and had been told that this movie was based on City Lights)
Last film seen -- "WALL-E" 4/10
Wall-E has a similar plot of a Little Tramp-esque character going through the works to win the love of/not lose a girl--a little fickle but she cares about him despite his shortcomings. You could see Eva's shutting down as a parallel to her blindness, both of which the protagonist is desperate to cure. The films close on a really sweet, somewhat ambiguous romantic gesture.
