In other words, it's only preachy if you want it to be. :"That would make sense if Milk were another Little Miss Sunshine or Juno, both of them pop culture phenomenon undeserving of the accolades bestowed upon them" And of course saying this about Juno only serves to further reinforce the point about the author's intelligence.... “Most importantly, WALL-E’s screenplay is relatively preachy, whether Pixar intended for it to be political or not, and older members of the Academy may be turned off by this.”

:”That would make sense if Milk were another Little Miss Sunshine or Juno, both of them pop culture phenomenon undeserving of the accolades bestowed upon them”

And of course saying this about Juno only serves to further reinforce the point about the author’s intelligence….
