I liked Up and Wall-E, but not nearly as much as other Pixar movies. Personally I think both of them started off strong but I lost a good deal of interest at some point (or maybe I've become desensitized to the "we must protect the enviroment and endangered species and stuff" message after hearing it so often).

Venellope, in retrospect, might be my favorite character in the film. The two points where I felt most emotional had to do with people being mean to her. So her attitude is probably just her putting up a thick outer skin. Plus (avoiding spoilers), I think the voice matches one particular aspect of her character.

If I may suggest on Wall-E one thing - I've shared your opinion at one point, then had a discussion with someone far more intelligent than me-.

Try and approach the message of the film not from the enviromental perspective, but rather from the interhuman relationship angle. Try and view it as a story where the main message is that if we, as a species, continue on this self absorbed, technology obsessed path that furthers our own interests and luxuries, machines would end up capable of more complex and intimate relationships than we would be able to manage among ourselves. Viewed like that and with that message observed, I believe Wall-E has a much stronger middle section that it's generally given credit for.

Up on the other hand falls flat somewhere after Dug shows up. The villain was just so so so.....stupid.

You may have a point there, but I've also heard anti-consumerist messages quite often as well. Ultimately I prefer to view Wall-E as a tale of how humanity shouldn't let robots run their lives, lest we become "robotic" ourselves in how we approach ours. Which I think is a very good message that, in any situation, I'd wholly appreciate (and compare to great dystopian fiction like Brave New World).
