Any reason? It is one of the better animated features, even with the Disney ending. The dialogue without dialogue is quite well done.

I wouldn't say you missed much. Not that I found it bad, just... 'meh'. And I usually like animated movies.

I'd recommend Wall-E - it's possibly my favourite Pixar pic.

I just read in The Ten-Cent Plague that the very first issue of Mad magazine had a story based on "The Machine Stops," called "Blobs".
