I never thought of Wall-E as a satirical film but you did give some good
examples of why it could be considered one. Like you said in your
response, Wall-E did exaggerate a lot when they created the movie. I
agree that we as humans are pretty wasteful and environmentally
unaware, but I don't think we are that bad to where the Earth will be
uninhabitable.

I like your example of satire in the movie WALL-E. I never really thought
about how satire was used in this but you are definitely correct.

I like your example of WALL-E as a satirical movie. I agree that the movie
was one big exaggeration of what the world could become. I think that
this movie was mean to tell kids to help save the world from all of the
trash, but I don't think many kids got that from the movie. I think after
kids watched it again and again they finally understood the really
meaning.

You are absolutely right! From the over-reliance to technology,
wastefulness, and ignorance it greatly satirizes modern-day society and
gives a great environmental message.

I agree that WALL-E is an example of a satire. In the movie, satire is used
to convey the message that humans will become obese and destroy the
world/environment if we do not change the way we currently live. The
people in the movie are obese, lazy, and live in an automated world. The
movie appears to exaggerate of the waste generated by humans. In the
movie, there is so much waste that the Earth is uninhabitable.

The episode The Ember Island Players in the critically acclaimed Avatar:
The Last Airbender is an excellent example of self-parody. Only days
before Sozin's comet and the final battle with the Firelord the main
protagonists decide to go to a Firenation play about their lives. They soon
discover that the entire play is Firenation propaganda containing
grotesque caricatures of the main cast. The tomboy character is played by
a muscular man. The moral center of the group is portrayed as a manic
sobbing crybaby. Sokka, the comic relief character and strategist of the
group, is reduced to a bumbling buffoon. But our protagonists soon learn
