Just randomly thought of this and thought I'd ask...

I thought of this film when trying to make a point about kids' movies, and was it just me, or was this film just HORRENDOUSLY bad? I'll gladly still watch some movies from my childhood that are now considered downright corny, but I remember when this was advertised at the cinema. I was horrified at how bad it looked. A few years on I had to watch it (can't remember why) and turns out I was right. I haven't come onto the WALL-E board to deliberately slag it off, just to attempt to justify my opinion. I must've blanked it out since I found it so poor, but from what I half-remember there's no dialogue at all for the first hour apart from robot noises, and the first 20 minutes is Wall-E cleaning up the planet's surface. There seemed to be no discernible plot whatsoever.
