You are welcome, Kristina.
Thank you for your quick reply. I had second thoughts about my comment, since I have not seen the movie.

You’re right, fetid (”foul-smelling”) is more apt than fecund (”fertile”). Thanks for pointing that out!

Enjoyed your review of the animated cartoon movie titled “Wall-E”. Interesting, that the main characters, robots, did not have much to say to each other. Perhaps the robots were in the same frame of mind as Lassie, the wonder dog, and her canine friends? (LOL)

A minor point– Did you mean to say that the planet earth had turned into a trash dump with a “FECUND atmosphere”?

Perhaps “FETID atmosphere” would better describe the trash dump?

The two words fecund and fetid do seem to be used interchangeably lately.
