My favorite movie website, Rotten Tomatoes, has officially announced that Pixar’s Wall-E is, so far, the best reviewed movie of the year and has been certified fresh for it’s 96 % rating.

Of course, Los Angeles Film Critics recently choose Wall-E for Best Picture of the Year, with The Dark Knight as runner up.

It also wins The National Board Review Award and New York Film Critics Circle Awards for best Animated Category.

The list keeps going on and on…
