WALL-E's Treasures And Trinkets Hilarious Moments 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.

- I am in love with this little guy.
This film is cute. The story is fine, I think the whole "Evil Liberal Agenda" argument was more of a marketing ploy that was blown out of proportion by some.
For a film with no dialog save for "bleeps", "squibs", and "wall-e" through the firs two thirds of it, this anthropomorphic little robot is really engrossing and endearing. It's also one of the few films where a cockroach would be classified as cute.
I thing the CG is fantastic, there are points in the film where I actually forgot WALL-E was... more info
- A digital film with a heart of gold
"Wall-E," which I believe is Pixar's last film for Disney, is an absolute masterpiece -- a heartwarming, lively, funny film with a deadly serious message about the dangers of unconstrained mass consumerism, and a glimmer for hope on what may be a dying planet. You probably know the basic outlines of the plot -- Wall-E is the last of a series of small robot trash compactors. left behind to clean up Earth as the frightened remnants of the human race flee into space, to avoid the fallout from their mindless... more info
- Entertaining, too political
The movie is pretty entertaining. It's a good example of how far computer generated graphics have come.
Unfortunately the movie is weighted down by just about every political agenda in the book, from environmentalism to anti-corporationism. Messages too heavy for children. But my child enjoyed the movie for the robots none the less.
- DRM??? No wonder they offer the digital copy
The movie skips and doesn't play on my computer. However, it plays on my friends DVD players but not computers. Did my research and this movie holds yet another example of DRM. Thinking on returning to Amazon since I didn't rent it. Big dissapointment to see this things on great movies. Guess I'll go back to only renting.
Other than that, the movie deserves an oscar.
