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.

 Rating:  - NOT A DVDI am so disappointed. Thinking that I was buying the one with all the perks and a DVD because it says DVD, I was so disappointed to see that it's digital and won't play on my DVD player. I'm out over $20! Rating: - Great movie, horrible manufacturingBe very careful about purchasing the special 3-disc Blu-Ray set. They had something go horribly wrong during the manufacturing. Discs missing, unplayable, etc. My first copy from Amazon had no feature film, two copies of the Bonus Disc 1, no Bonus Disc 2, and the Digital copy. The second one from Amazon had no Bonus Disc 2. Hopefully the third time is the charm. Rating:  - PIXAR'S MASTERPEICE!............SO FAR! CHECK FOR DEFECTS?!Once again Pixar proves to be a giant among it's peers! 'Wall E' is nothing short of amazing and steps outside it's "kiddies movie" boundaries with this smart and endearing Sci-Fi love story! While the film is short on dialogue, it does not suffer from having nothing to say! It's amazing(there goes that word again!)how much is said without the use of "words" in this beautiful and poignant film. Not since R2 D2 stole the show in 'A New Hope' has a little robot had so much character and ... Read More Rating: - PerfectionThere was never a more impressionable movie. It's a wonderful, telling tale everyone in the family can adore from beginning to end! The creators should be honored to have concocted such a treasurable jewel for the ages! In a word, it's truly a masterpiece! I can't speak highly enough about this movie! :) Rating:  - GREAT movie, LOUSY packagingI loved the film. Loved it. Those consideriing buying the 3 disc special edition should be wary. I havent had the trouble some others have had with the discs themselves. the packaging SUCKS. BIG TIME SUCKS. Its very difficult to remove the inner sub-sleeves (I wont call them cases) from the outer package (again I wont call it a case) the first time without accidentally ripping the sleeve apart. The die-cuts on the sleeves want to grab one another and the outer package. Children ... Read More |
