What if mankind had to leave Earth, and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off?
Academy Award®-winning writer-director Andrew Stanton (“Finding Nemo”) and the inventive storytellers and technical geniuses at Pixar Animation Studios (“The Incredibles,” “Cars,” “Ratatouille”) transport moviegoers to a galaxy not so very far away for a new computer-animated cosmic comedy about a determined robot named WALL•E.
After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL•E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realize that WALL•E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet’s future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home). Meanwhile, WALL•E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen.
Joining WALL•E on his fantastic journey across a universe of never-before-imagined visions of the future, is a hilarious cast of characters including a pet cockroach, and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots.
Filled with surprises, action, humor and heart, WALL•E was written and directed by Andrew Stanton, produced by Jim Morris, co-produced by Lindsey Collins and features original and innovative sound design by Academy Award®-winner Ben Burtt (“Star Wars,” “Indiana Jones,” “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial”).

This was a cool movie. It makes you think about the effect humans
actually has on earth…for the better. Also a lot of action. This movie
would be great in 3D.
My 3 year old greeted WALL E like an old friend as we first glimpsed him
through the swirling, dirty clouds. He loved the movie and sat,
enthralled, as the first, near silent part played out.
Loved this movie, well done for a movie that has hardly any speech.
Anyone who doesn’t like this movie must be as emotional as a robot…
Oh
– wait,… in Wall-e – the robots ARE actually very emotional! – Ok,
maybe the lack of human dialogue in the first part of the movie might
put some people off – but surely,.. isn’t it amazing when you can
empathise with a little metal box on wheels through out the movie.
I
believe this is an instant Pixar classic – and it sends out a clear
message that we should be taking better care of our planet. Our whole
family enjoyed it. I want a little Wall-e on my desk! –
I wasn’t impressed. It was probably my least favourite film to date.
The animation was great and seemed to channel old sci-fi, space movies
from the 50’s and 60’s. My son was crazy about the robot, WALL-E, but
that’s about it. I would, however, suggest that you go and see WALL-E
(don’t be late!) for the FANTASTIC animated short before the actual
movie begins. .
