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.

Customer Reviews
Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy abounds in Wall-e???
The reviewers who claim that Wall-e is some malicious form of clandestine liberal wacko propaganda that will warp the minds of impressionable children need to lighten up and smell the paranoia. In their worldview, "Drill, Baby, Drill!" would be a much more inspiring premise for this film. Okay then, why not make remake the movie in your own vision, with Wall-e as a robotic uber-hero (like Ayn Rand's Howard Roark), who doesn't need anyone but himself and his intransigent force of will to help re-industrialize an economically depressed planet as he teams up with the Big and Large titans of industry, whose sweat and blood is the embodiment of the virtue of selfish egoism but also trickles down to the benefit all of mankind?
Instead of trash everywhere, oil and gas derricks and nuclear cooling towers and the smokestacks of coal plants swamp the skyline as Wall-e works on the greatest and most objectively rational project of all: the world's largest SUV production plant.
Meanwhile, after being voted off the planet, all the hippie liberals wander through space on the SS Noam Chomsky in a vessel made out of cannabis and piloted by a direct descendant of Keith Olbermann and Katrina vanden Heuvel. Seeking to return to Earth one day to force the enemies of liberalism into Marxist communes and Reeducation Camps, Eve arrives from the Chomsky, only to find instead a thriving industrious society that is so perfectly utopian that taxes and entitlements and homosexuals have all been abolished. In the closing shot, we see Wall-e as he rolls to the top of his nearly completed paragon of neoconservative values (and non-union to boot!) with Eve hovering at his side, in subjugated awe of Wall-e's infallible logic as he expounds in electronic beeps and chirps for 45 minutes, effectively deconstructing and disproving, once and for all, that vast liberal conspiracy known as global warming. And in a brief humorous parting shot of the Chomsky, the ineptitude and touchy-feely emotionalism of the left-wing wackos results in their destruction as the vessel, its inhabitants all out of marijuana and unable to grow anymore due to an ongoing labor strike, goes up in flames as Lieutenant Bill Maher IX attempts to light the ship and smoke it by driving it right into the sun. The End.
On second thought, that's not so inspiring, is it? I'll stick with the version Pixar made -- a visually stunning masterpiece with a great anachronistic soundtrack and a thought-provoking plot for adults and a magical story of friendship that my children thoroughly love and enjoy...
Great Movie
I ordered this for my son and when it finally arrived in the mail I was glad as it made it on time before Christmas.Very sweet story for kids my son loves it and watches it over and over again.
Digital Copy Requires Computer to have DVD player
I'm not going to waste your time telling you about the movie, lots of other reviewers have done that better than I could. I just wanted to be sure it was mentioned that if you buy the 3 disc special edition copy that you know the digital copy requires you to have a dvd drive in your computer. We bought Journey to the Center of the Earth that came with the digital copy. You just put it in the cd drive of the computer and you downloaded the movie from a web page to your computer. Wall-E however, requires you to have a dvd drive. This was not mentioned when I read the description (or maybe I missed it) but now I paid extra money for something I can't use. So, I wanted to spare someone else out there with an old computer that wants to watch this on their system the same experience. Hope it helps someone.
