Additional InformationEven for Pixar, this might be a first: an animated film that contains not only a fully realised world as photorealistic as it is full of wonder, but also the Gargantuan themes and visuals of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, the stripped-down sad-clown pathos found in classic Buster Keaton comedies, and one of the most moving and simply unique love stories in a long time. Director Andrew Stanton kicked up the visual acuity of an already-stellar Pixar Animation Studios in 2003 with a reflective, refractive, color-shimmery realisation of the oceanic world of FINDING NEMO, which genuinely felt as though it spanned the entire earth. With WALL-E, Stanton replaces an apprehensively fishy estranged journeyer with a love-struck and curious robotic one, allowing the quest for eternal love to expand from a desolate, dust-covered, palpably polluted future Earth and into an even more mysterious abyss: the far reaches of outer space.<BR><BR><BR>With virtually no dialogue, WALL-E's neatly contained vaudevillian first act eerily and tragically introduces the robot of the title as the last living thing on Earth (aside from a little cockroach friend) amidst dilapidated skyscrapers and equally tall compacted trash heaps. WALL-E has developed a tender and inquisitive personality doing what he was built to do day in and day out for the past 700 years--allocate and dispose of human waste--simply because no one turned him off when the human race left the hostile polluted planet. When the directive-oriented Eve robot comes crashing into his life from above, WALL-E immediately becomes infatuated with her, and is willing to follow her to back into dangerous outer space, where two robots gliding through the ether, dancing via fire-extinguisher propulsion, are among the many memorable and grandly romantic moments of an expansively beautiful, deceptively simple story.
ReviewsNew York Times - WALL-E surely breaks new ground [...] It is also a disarmingly sweet and simple love story, Chaplinesque in its emotional purity., Rolling Stone - 4 stars out of 4 - Animation art at its highest level [...] You leave WALL-E with a feeling of the rarest kind, that you've just enjoyed a close encounter with an enduring classic., Sight and Sound - [E]xceptionally good. In fact it's one of Pixar's best films....The film's joy, though, is the way WALL-E's situation develops in an organic, lyrical, musical way., Empire - 5 stars out of 5 - WALL-E is a character of genius, as wondrous an example of the potential of animation as you will ever see., Hollywood Reporter - This is getting to sound like a broken record: Pixar Animation Studios has just topped itself. Again, Time Magazine - It works; this is Pixar's most enthralling entertainment since [FINDING] NEMO, Los Angeles Times - Pixar's latest is wonderful and full of wonder [...] Daring and traditional, groundbreaking and familiar, apocalyptic and sentimental, WALL-E gains strengths from embracing contradictions, Variety - Pixar's ninth consecutive wonder of the animated world is a simple yet deeply imagined piece of speculative fiction...it has plenty to say, but does so in a light, insouciant manner that allows you to take the message or leave it on the table

    great film for children and adults

    Lovely film about central character Wall E and his life on Earth with an overflow of rubbish. Underlying message about recycling and how it affects the life we have. Characters interract well and story is easy to follow yet interesting details keep all ages engaged. Nice film happy ending.

    Boring, boring, boring!

    Perhaps I'm just too old for rubbish like this. I gave it 20 minutes or so and had to eject the DVD. Stupid noises, rubbish animation, cold, unloving - a mess. Computer animation just doesn't have the warmth and love of 'hand-made' stuff. Disney has managed to lose its original magic. OK - I know everybody's in it for the money - but there used to be a little love as well. Think of Pinocchio or Fantasia or the early Mickey Mouse for example. Think of the glorious movement in the Fleischer cartoons too. Thank heavens for YouTube! There! Rant over. See? I told you I was old. [Old enough for Muffin the Mule, Bill & Ben and Hank]

  • Poor quality on replay

    The replay quality on two copies of this movie was poor. The picture would freeze for some seconds, at frequent intervals. The movie became unpleasant to watch .

  • a wonderful love story between robots

    a wonderful love story between robots, at a time when the earth became too contaminated for humans to live on, so they escaped into space... a very prophetic scenario
