I don't know about my son, who is into robots, but was too tired to comment about the film. My daughter was definitely bored.
I was too. I started thinking "this movie is long" about 20-30 minutes into it. The problem is that it's basically a silent movie with un-interesting visuals. Wall-E seemed modeled after Chaplin's tramp character. I'm not a big Chaplin fan, but that does give you something to work with. I don't know why they didn't make more of it. There all sorts of possibilities with the garbage. The robot love story doesn't pack enough oomph to get past the visual tedium.
The whole spaceship bit should have been cut right out.
An ipod sounds like whatever you put in it. On a crowded commuter train, it sounds like a fly buzzing. Wall-E's reboot sound was the Macintosh boot bong.
