Wall-E wins Oscar for best animated Feature Film

Topic:

Wall-E won the Oscar for best animated Feature Film tonight at the Oscars 2009. Wall-E is a Pixar production and beat Bolt and Kung-Fu Panda which also have been in the running.
Wall-E is somewhat splitting the audience many love it, but also a lot find it rather boring. A robot in a Sci-fi movie usually is a recipe for a big star, just see R2-D2.
Andrew Stanton took the stage to receive the Oscar for Wall-E. You can watch him on the Oscar Thank You Cam over at the Oscar site. Wall-E is out on DVD and Blu-ray and you can get it on Amazon.com.
