Wall E captures votes of children

A BATTERED robot with his cockroach sidekick in a post-apocalyptic world are two of the characters to catch children’s imaginations in a compilation of movie favourites.

In a list produced by Xtra-vision and ambitiously billed as the Top 10 Kids’ Movies of All Time, the technical whimsy of Pixar has staked top spot for Wall E, a charming ecological parable and tale of love about a robot who drops to earth, but not as we know it.

Next up is Shrek, a gassy green bug-luving Ogre with his ditzy donkey friend, a fairytale that appeals to adults and children alike with Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy delivering perfectly paced cutting-edge humour.
