Editorial Review: Product Description: The highly acclaimed director of Finding Nemo and the creative storytellers behind Cars and Ratatouille transport you to a galaxy not so far away for a new cosmic comedy adventure about a determined robot named Wall-E. After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, the curious and lovable Wall-E discovers a new purpose in life when he meets a sleek search robot named Eve. Join them and a hilarious cast of characters on a fantastic journey across the universe. Transport yourself to a fascinating new world with Disney-Pixar's latest adventure, now even more astonishing on DVD and loaded with bonus features, including the exclusive animated short film Burn-E. Wall-E is a film your family will want to enjoy over and over again. Amazon.com: 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.

![]() Rating: - Wall-E Meets The Thought PoliceMy husband and I eagerly looked forward to receiving our pre-ordered copy of Wall-E from Amazon as the trailers had given us high expectations for another excellent and entertaining PIXAR product we could share with our grandchildren. Instead what we received was a computer animated forum for advancing today's political agendas! We wanted entertainment and state of the art animation for ourselves and our grandchildren, not hackneyed political whining and attempts at mind control and thought policing ... Read More Rating: - Unexpected-Some Spoilers- Ratatouille, Cars, Finding Nemo; movies that fans and critics enjoyed, but I found to be forced, awkward, even insulting. I took my 7 year old niece to see Wall-E expecting more of the same, and was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. Instead of bombarding the audience with noise, jokes, explosions, loony behavior, etc, we are treated to subtle (for Disney) behavior and emotion. The two protagonists technically can't even speak (though they manage a few words) so their thoughts ... Read More Rating: - Warning to Sony Blu-Ray Owners!!!This movie is great. It's amazing how Pixar can make a 90 minute movie with only about 500 words of dialogue and have it keep your 2 year old's attention the entire time. As with all Pixar movies your kids will watch it again and again. I love the shorts too. There is an extra short that wasn't released in the theater, so check the special features menu. A word of warning to anyone that has a Sony Blu-Ray player. I have the BDP-S301, which for the most part has been trouble free. I received ... Read More Rating: - Wowl E!!! This film might just "clean up" at Oscar time!!! A modern day classic with a true message!!!Okay,there are 2 Blu Ray versions(2 disc and 3 disc,the only differnce being the 3rd disc on the 3 disc set is a digital copy for an Ipod,etc,other than that the contents ARE the same,okay!!!) of this soon to be classic with a true environmental message!!! My prediction come Oscar time is this WILL definatley get best animated film,hand down,Peter Gabriel's great song at the end of the film will probably get the best song statue,probably can't go up for best picture due to it's being an animated film,the ... Read More Rating: - Doesn't Come Close To Other Pixar Flicks...It is my understanding that director Andrew Stanton (along with screenwriter Pete Docter) had a couple of ideas that came to fruition prior to WALL-E. Things you may have heard of like, oh, Finding Nemo and A Bug's Life. Wall-E was the final "idea" in the animation pipeline for Disney/Pixar and it is obvious to me why this was so after watching it. Let me explain... Let's start with the aforementioned Finding Nemo. Here was a story that was 95% focused on the main characters: fish and those around ...
