Though it's been out for less than a week, WALL-E, the robot flick that's apparently taking America by electrical storm (Saudi Arabia's never heard of it), has already jumped ahead of Schindler's List and Citizen Kane on the Internet Movie Database's list of the top 250 films of all time. That people are relating more to the plight of a cartoon machine than that of millions and millions of human beings destroyed by war certainly speaks to something, but we're not about to broach that thing here. Now, everyone bow down to your new robot masters!

AN ANIMATED BEST PICTURE? "Stop the 'Wall-E' Oscar madness, please! Box-office and critical reax to that adorable robot are so socko that everybody's gushing over the idea that the film will get — forget the Oscar for best animated feature, which seems inevitable — a nomination for the highest prize."
