I’m really impressed that when the makers of WALL•E selected a Louis Armstrong song for the film’s soundtrack, they looked past the obligatory and overused (but thematically appropriate) “What a Wonderful World” and went with “La Vie en Rose.” It’s a little thing, but it’s the difference between the easy decision and the decision that requires thought and effort. I appreciate that extra little bit of attention to detail.

Good point. I never thought of that . . . but yes, a lesser director would have immediately grabbed “Wonderful World” (and probably would have been very proud of himself for coming up with the “right” answer).
