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. --Tami Horiuchi, Amazon.com

Comment:
The first time I saw this, I thought Wallice and Grommit on the moon, plus the 1980s films short-circuit. But this film was so much more.

You know a movie is great if it keeps your interest when there is little been sad for a long time. Wall-e is fun, lovelyable and great fun. A must see.

Summary: ......" dirrrrr-ect-tivvve?! "......
Comment: In the distant future, where human beings have departed from the planet Earth for a state of the art cruiser space ship, a maverick rubbish collecting robot called Wall E is left behind to clean up the mess. Along with the more advanced machine called Eva, Wall E sets to prove that life on Earth is once again sustainable.

Wall E is another impressive outing for Pixar and a worthy addition to their catalogue of animated storytelling. If you thought that animated feature length films were experimental enough, then Wall E is an experiment within an experiment. The storyline may be linear but the sheer portrayal of its mechanical lead characters makes us interact with them in a way that we treat them as humans. The plot, (predictable as it may be) is told in a truly original way. With minimum dialogue and extended scenes, it plays like a silent movie in parts, especially the first fifteen minutes. This is something rare for any modern day, feature length film, let alone an animated one. The risk taken by Pixar succeeds as they effectively manage to capture our senses with something heartfelt and affectionate.

The only criticism is that some of the scenes taking place in the new future proof planet are clustered and too ambitious. Dizzying and full of high tech gadgetry they may be, and even though adult viewers may not mind this; it will probably be too much for younger viewers.

However, the real winner is the lead protagonist Wall E who is both charming and likeable. Ironically Wall E's basic and less advanced infrastructure succeeds in a seemingly more hi tech world. He's a poor mans Johnny 5. Short Circuits' Johnny 5 may have been able to digest a whole reference book in minutes, but Wall E has trouble coping with day to day tasks. This accident prone, goggle eyed specie is effectively a robotic version of Mr. Bean, who is pitiful and admirable at the same time.

Summary: ....and a slinky!
Comment: Caught a bit of the film on a flight and decided I wanted to see it all. Much to commend it, perhaps not as much a headliner as Toy Story or Monsters Inc but overall a good effort and not too sickly or preachy with a few diversions in the storyline to keep even the most hardbitten cynics content.
