Animation : 'Whisper of the Heart' vs. 'WALL-E'

'Whisper of the Heart' vs. 'WALL-E'

Two romance films from two respective studios - Ghibli and Pixar. Which film do you like better and why?

Re: 'Whisper of the Heart' vs. 'WALL-E'

I prefer Whisper, simply because Wall-E's third act doesn't hold up to the strong beginning of the film.

To be honest, I see Whisper as more of a coming of age film than a romance, the bulk of the film being about the main character discovering her passion for writing.


I was going to write a new Sig today, but everything changed when the fire nation attacked.

Re: 'Whisper of the Heart' vs. 'WALL-E'

These films shouldn't be compared as just about everything about their purpose and execution are completely different. Of course if I wanted to be cheeky, most animated films shouldn't be compared to Whisper of the Heart as they are clearly inferior to this perfect masterpiece.

SACRILEGE!!! HOW DARE YOU TO PUT DOWN THE GREATEST FILM EVER MADE NAMED 'INSIDE OUT' LIKE THAT!!!!!!!

Okay, I DO think 'Inside Out' is one of, if not the greatest film ever made, but that's just me.

Re: 'Whisper of the Heart' vs. 'WALL-E'

Wait, when did this topic become about Inside Out? Anyways, while Whisper of the Heart is the more personal film for me, I gave both a 10. I think I currently have WALL-E at an 8 just to get back to the original comparison.

Well, you said this as a joke:


Of course if I wanted to be cheeky, most animated films shouldn't be compared to Whisper of the Heart as they are clearly inferior to this perfect masterpiece.

...so I replied in such ways. The reason why I used 'Inside Out' is because that film, for me, is what 'Whisper of the Heart' is for you.

Re: 'Whisper of the Heart' vs. 'WALL-E'

Fair enough. Inside Out is a great film to have in a high spot.

10/10 to WALL*E, 9/10 to Whisper of the Heart

Re: 'Whisper of the Heart' vs. 'WALL-E'

I have seen WALL-E I haven't seen the other movie, but WALL-E seems like a 3 hour animated movie to me

Re: 'Whisper of the Heart' vs. 'WALL-E'

Whisper of The Heart, but it's pretty close.

Whisper of the Heart. I prefer Ghibli over Pixar.

Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Metallica are Bronies

Re: 'Whisper of the Heart' vs. 'WALL-E'

WALL-E, but very narrowly. I love the romance between WALL-E and EVE; the celebration of life (the 'define dancing' scene); and I admire it for tackling the topic of climate change and dystopia without being overly preachy. WotH is one of a few Ghibli films that I don't find confusing or too slow.
