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.

 Great Story and a Whole Lotta' Fun! November 22, 2008
Wall-E lives up to the hype I heard about it. The storyline is excellent. This little, yet extremely durable, robot really has some character about him. When a new robot lands on the earth, Wall-E finds someone to share his lonely world...Lucky for Wall-E it was a female robot. Lucky for the viewers too, I guess. The two end up on a wild adventure out in space with some out of shape humans and robots in need of repair.
The comedy in Wall-E is great fun and a joy to watch unfold on the screen. Pixar almost always seems to deliver a great product. Wall-E is no exception. Buy this movie, pop some popcorn, and sit back and enjoy a work of art!
May God bless!
See ya next review!

 A sad product from Walt Disney/Pixar. Pathetic! November 22, 2008
1 out of 11 found this review helpful
Here is a minimalist approach to children's movies. Forget the story line. Forget what was learned in Finding Nemo. The cricket ends up as a pathetic device. Create a film without dialogue or characterization, except for the scene where the robot runs about calling Eve's name. Have an environmental message that would completely baffle little children before putting them to sleep, Embrace the abstract while making some obtuse reference to fat people drifting along on floating rafts who cannot do for themselves. What this has to do with Wall-E is a lost cause. Oh, yes, create a captain character who has no personality, who is pathetic. Who would have believed that Walt Disney would forget their primary market--children? Gee, if Walt Disney/Pixar continue in the same direction as Wall-E, their future will end up as dismal as the brown planet in the movie! What were they thinking? Have they run out of plots and lovable characters to tell their story?
Very Good November 22, 2008

Well first of all you have to undrstand the meaning like WALL-E he is like Adam who dsires companinonsip. Then there is EVE which is Eve in the bible and the axiom is the ark, ant the robots are noah and te humans are the animals (no offense) What I am saying is that ever scene has a porpose Pixar does not make movies just for fun tey make porposes like for The Incredibles that meaning is to stick wit hyour family and don't separate.See what i mean.
WALL-E, a little guy with a big heart November 21, 2008
This movie was amazing. Take an lonely little robot and send him on an adventure of a lifetime and you you have Pixar's newest hit WALL-E: the story of a waste management robot who will win you over with his lovable demeanor.
WALL-E's been left on Earth for over 700 years to clean up the mess humanity has left behind. One day he encounters EVE, a sleek robot who returns to Earth as part of a survey mission to see if the planet is ready to recolonize. When EVE abruptly dissapears, its up to WALL-E to go in search of her. As you watch the little guy overcome many obstacles to find his new love interest he will win you over with his persistance.
This movie was a real treat and should be enjoyed by all ages.
WALL-E is Amazing! November 21, 2008
I love animated movies in general and Pixar ones especially. I really can't describe how much I adore WALL-E, the movie and the character. I probably couldn't pick out which animated flick was my favorite before this one but now it's no contest. WALL-E rules!
