Wall-E and Eve couldn't really talk, and that movie was fantastic

LOL! +1!

Damned if you do and damned if you don't. Can't please no-damn-body.

Bazinga! I would further add that given their role in these films, they were pretty prevalent too and couldn't talk. There are other characters in the films so it's not like it's that important that they can't talk. They make noises and are able to express themselves accordingly. What more do you need? In the 1920's when they had silent films, people didn't talk then either. And what about deaf or mute people? They can't "talk," by traditional standards. There are many ways to communicate other than vocally or orally. I'm sure everything will be just fine. The writers and director know what they're doing.

Dragging Wall-E into this is a blasphemy.

...Matt Damon cannot talk nor act - but he's in an awful lot of movies lately ;)

I think you meant to say Mark Wahlberg

just saw the film. they can actually speak a few words from different languages if you listen carefully(;

reply

Yep.

Towards the end, Bob said "terima kasih"

"terima kasih" is bahasa indonesia (indonesian language) for "thank you".

Pierre Coffin, the director, is half Indonesian as his mother was a famous Indonesian writer, N.H. Dini

I thought they basically spoke pidgin Spanish ("la cucaracha"? )

reply

I think they speak pidgin everything.

We had a president that couldn't talk, and that worked out okay. Oh, wait....

oddly, that same lack of communication skills does not stop most people from posting on here either.

Worked for Wall-E & Shaun the Sheep.

If you're happy and you know it, go sit in the corner and think about your life.
