What is your favorite cartoon?

A writing sample My favorite cartoon is the cartoon film Wall-E. It is about a robot trying to clean the earth after people have polluted it. Wall-E meets another robot called Eve. He loves her a lot. Wall-E and Eve go to meet people who now live on a very big spaceship. Many funny things happen and Wall-E is very cute, but the story is serious too. In the end, they all return to the earth to make it beautiful and green again. I like the cartoon because it is lovely to watch, the characters are funny and cute, and it also teaches us to think more carefully about our planet and pollution.
