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.

 This is NOT the greatest animated movie... it's boring November 23, 2008
0 out of 5 found this review helpful
Wall-e is a very weak movie. The plot is extremely thin, the characters (human or otherwise) are forgettable and, worst of all, it's boring.
I can't see why people are calling it the best animated movie of all time. It doesn't work for adults because its plot is so childish and feeble, and it doesn't work for kids because it's just plain average.
The proof is in the repeated viewing. My kids will (and indeed have) watch Toy Story, Monsters Inc, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, etc again and again and again. I can happily watch them again and again!
They never get bored with those movies and they want a Buzz doll, a cuddly Nemo, the book of Monsters Inc... they just can't get enough.
But they watched Wall-e once and maybe a half times more and that was it. No more interest. Back to Buzz and Woody and Sully and Crush.
Let's just hope Pixar's next offering is better.
 Bad DVDs / Not compatible with all DVD players November 23, 2008
The movie is good, but the DVD has problems. VLC on a PC can't play it on my Vista based PC. My Samsung HD931 can play the bonus features but not the movie. The same for my XP-based PC (WMP - I'm not sure what DVD decoder). It does work with the Mac OS X 10.5 DVD player application.
 Timeless November 23, 2008
This is a truly exceptional film both for its technical accomplishments, as well as for a story that is truly prescient. This film has all of the makings of a classic and I am quite confident it will be remembered as such.
great movie November 23, 2008
This is a great movie. It is cute & is for all ages. I bought it for myself but will let my grandson watch it. I do want to watch it again.
Wall-e is the last robot on earth & his job is to collect trash. And there is plenty. He eat's it then spits it out in a square. His only friend is a bug. But they stay togther always.
Then he goes to a cruise liner that floats in the sky. they don't want him there so they go after him.
Mixed Messages November 23, 2008
For a movie with a message about consumer culture, the dvd comes with a ridiculous amount of packaging.
