I did go see the DVS version of WALL•E. It was simply amazing. I would
honestly say if you sat alone and watched this movie with no
assistance for the first time, and no DVS, you'd be lost from the
first minute. It wouldn't get better either. I am hoping that we see
something happen, a total miracle. Simply, that DVS track on DVD when
the movie is released for home video consumption.
I sent a friendly email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as instructed by their
person at reception when I called. I just explained that due to the
very visual nature of the film, description isn't a luxury item this
time around. But, if I'm the only person who asks, they probably won't
take me seriously. Let them know if you loved this film that you won't
be able to "see" it again without the description.

For those who may be unaware of the availability of audio
description in movie theaters:
WALL*E is audio described, albeit by a human, not an Apple voice.
Movie auditoriums that are properly equipped can play the DVS
(Descriptive Video Service) sound track to WALL*E. For theater
locations, other audio described movies and an explanation on how it
all works, go to:

Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska. We could simply access it by
using the Menu commands and arrowing till we find Video Description,
or something like that.

I had to chuckle many times throughout the Pixar animated "Wall-e"
because it featured many voices that were clearly Macintosh
voices. Many of them were pitched down but were easily
recognizable to anyone using VoiceOver. Also, whenever Wall-e
rebooted himself, the Macintosh boot chime sounded. Very cute.
