Audio Commentary With Director Andrew Stanton Amazon.com: Pixar genius reigns in this funny romantic comedy, which stars a robot who says absolutely nothing for a full 25 minutes yet somehow completely transfixes and endears himself to the audience within the first few minutes of the film. As the last robot left on earth, Wall-E (voiced by Ben Burtt) is one small robot--with a big, big heart--who holds the future of earth and mankind squarely in the palm of his metal hand. He's outlasted all the 'Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class' robots that were assigned some 700 years ago to clean up the environmental mess that man made of earth while man vacationed aboard the luxury spaceship Axiom. Wall-E has dutifully gone about his job compacting trash, the extreme solitude broken only by his pet cockroach, but he's developed some oddly human habits and ideas. When the Axiom sends its regularly scheduled robotic EVE probe (Elissa Knight) to earth, Wall-E is instantly smitten and proceeds to try to impress EVE with his collection of human memorabilia. EVE's directive compels her to bring Wall-E's newly collected plant sprout to the captain of the Axiom and Wall-E follows in hot pursuit. Suddenly, the human world is turned upside down and the Captain (Jeff Garlin) joins forces with Wall-E and a cast of other misfit robots to lead the now lethargic people back home to earth. Wall-E is a great family film with the most impressive aspect being the depth of emotion conveyed by a simple robot--a machine typically considered devoid of emotion, but made so absolutely touching by the magic of Pixar animation. Also well-worth admiring are the sweeping views from space, the creative yet disturbing vision of what strange luxuries a future space vacation might offer, and the innovative use of trash in a future cityscape. Underneath the slapstick comedy and touching love story is a poignant message about the folly of human greed and its potential effects on earth and the entire human race. Wall-E is preceded in theaters by the comical short Presto in which a magician's rabbit, unfed one too many times takes his revenge against the egotistical magician.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - More Genius from PixarThe geniuses at Pixar have done it again with this extremely cute, touching, and socially conscious movie. Wall-E--short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class--is an adorable, vaguely ET-like robot whose job is cleaning up trash by pressing it into cubes. Since the future Earth he inhabits has been rendered uninhabitable by enormous garbage heaps, Wall-E has only a cockroach for companionship; all humans have fled the planet on "space vacations" and have remained in space for 700 years.

Wall-E is innocent and adorable, his obedient ways break your heart and instantly draw you in. The movie is exciting and funny, morale of the story is: get off your lazy behinds and take time to smell the roses. And more importantly to love and care for our planet because taking it for granted could lead to devastating results. Animation is riveting. A must have for all! Rating: - AMAZING STORY & ANIMATIONWall-E is wonderful. Amazing story line, little words are needed to get the message across. Companionship, being resourceful, environmentally conscious, having hope to be something better than where we came from. Everyone should see this movie at least once, even if you aren't big on anime. Its in the level and up there with Spirited Away and Cowboy Bebop. Rating: - Score One More For PixarPixar has done it again, the love able Robot Wall-E can now be yours on DVD. I highly recommend this DVD, if you're a movie, disney, or pixar fan I definitely say buy the three disc DVD. The second disc of this edition contains some great special features not included on the single disc. "The Pixar Story" is an incredible documentary on the development and creation of this incredible animation studio. This is a great DVD for all ages. Rating: - Best Film Oscar for 2009?Wow. I was lucky enough to see this at a screening in Pixar studios, and now I've just bought the DVD and watched it again. Wall-E harks back to the days of the silent movie, when dialog was not used as a substitute for story unfolding visually, and it succeeds triumphantly in reeling in the audience. Not only is the central relationship both touching and funny at the same time, it's founded in a very dark future where humans have trashed the earth and live lazily on an off-planet ship. To succeed ... Read More |
