10 Promises to My Dog

Quote from youtube:

12-year old Akari fell in love with a puppy that had wandered into her house and adopted it.
She names it “Socks” as its’ paws looked like they had white socks on.
The girl and dog are inseparable, and the pet was a great comfort to Akari while grieving her mother’s death.
However, as Akari grows up, her feelings and interest moves away from Socks.
Year by year, their distance grows, which also leads to her physical distance as she moves to a far off city, and must leave Socks behind to a childhood friend.
One day Akari remembers the 10 promises that she had made to Socks and her mother…

Is this movie heartwarming or what?
It is in japanese, and i think jap movies tend to be a little slow and draggy but i sure hope this will not disappoint.
Reminds me of Eight Below… Hmm… feel like watching Eight Below again.

 

Wall*E

Quote from youtube:

After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL•E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE.
EVE comes to realize that WALL•E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet’s future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home).
Meanwhile, WALL•E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen.
Joining WALL•E on his fantastic journey across a universe of never-before-imagined visions of the future, is a hilarious cast of characters including a pet cockroach, and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots.

I’m not sure why but I had this misconception from day 1 that this is related to E.T.
Well, obviously there is no relation but Wall*E is so cute! And I totally love pixar movies!
So this is a must watch. But the release date is like soooooo late… Heard it’s around end of August for Singapore (when US is releasing it in end Jun. damn!)
Oh and I think there will be Toy Story 3!
