I kinda love this quote from Andrew Stanton, writer and director of the upcoming Pixar film “Wall-E”, when asked about the “messages” in the film…

Yeah, frankly the love one is really all I was pushing. Everything else I was using elements that I knew matched those scenarios of environment and society and things, but I was just trying to go with things that [were] … true aspects of us that amplified the big point of the story, which was this love story and what is the point of living? What is the real point of living? There’s a lot of different ways people can fill their time, but there’s really only one reason we’re here and it’s relationships and loving one another. That’s all I was pushing. Everything else was a benefactor of that.

There’s no question, that’s a driving motivation behind the kind of plays I like to produce, as well, and I like the way he summed it up: “What is the real point of living? There’s a lot of different ways people can fill their time, but there’s really only one reason we’re here and it’s relationships and loving one another.” Yep, I like that thought! 🙂

Looking forward to seeing this film, and taking my family with me!
