WALL-E is Alone on Earth Collecting Trash
Until EVE Arrives

WALL-E is Pixar's ninth feature film, released in 2008 and directed by Andrew Stanton. This science fiction animation was so well-received, that it won several Academy Awards including best animated feature was nominated by Entertainment Weekly as the #1 Animated Movie of All Time.

WALL-E

And it's no wonder. While this movie has a story line with hardly any verbal dialogue, it still touches your heart. Critics have said it's one of the best modern "silent" movies and to create an entertaining and emotional stretch of film with no words is quite an accomplishment. Now that's amazing - plus how many movies with robots have you seen that fall in love with one another?

You come to adore the characters, even the cockroach for goodness sake. In this movie, there are four sections to explore the characters. Getting to know each character and for the robots, you get to know their names and duties, and that makes this film all the more enjoyable.

Out of this World

This movie goes deep into thinking about our environment - a timely topic in this day and age, and what kind of humanity will there be in this distant future? Big-box stores, massive corporations, excess consumerism and throw-away culture. These are the issues this movie faces and what happens in this world in the future.


The Humans Began as Blobs

Did you know that the human characters aboard the Axiom spaceship began as gelatinous wobbly green aliens? It wasn't until the director and other decision-makers at Pixar were about half way done with development that they decided to turn the blobby aliens into humans who had suffered bone loss and became obese after centuries of automation and micro-gravity.

Wall-e tee shirt But director Andrew Stanton wasn't intending the people to be obese, necessarily, but more blobby and baby-like from the bone loss. By having everything automated and given to them and them being confined to their beach chairs, the people were more like babies. Look at their hands and feet in the movie - just like infants. The movie was about getting up on your own two feet again and growing up.

Which is a great theme for a Pixar movie famous for compelling stories, wouldn't you say?

When this film was released on DVD in November 2008, BURN-E was added as a special feature short film. It interweaves with the plot, which makes it very entertaining!

The other Pixar short film that was released with the WALL-E DVD was Presto, which is about a Magician named Presto and Alec Azam the rabbit who put on an unforgettable show.
