WALL+E Single Disc Edition submitted by Yosho on November 17, 2008, 6:35pm In a distant, but not so unrealistic future, where mankind has abandoned earth because it has become covered with trash from products sold by the powerful multi-national Buy N Large corporation, WALL-E, a garbage collecting robot has been left to clean up the mess. Mesmerized with trinkets of earth's history and show tunes, WALL-E is alone on Earth except for a sprightly pet cockroach. One day, Eve, a sleek (and dangerous) reconnaissance robot, is sent to earth to find proof that life is once again sustainable. WALL-E falls in love with Eve. WALL-E rescues Eve from a dust storm and shows her a living plant he found amongst the rubble. Consistent with her "directive" Eve takes the plant and automatically enters a deactivated state except for a blinking green beacon. WALL-E, doesn't understand what has happened to his new friend, but true to his love, he protects her from wind, rain, and lightening, even as she is unresponsive. One day a massive ship comes to reclaim Eve, but WALL-E, out of love or loneliness hitches a ride on the outside of the ship to rescue Eve. The ship arrives back at a large space cruise ship, which is carrying all of the humans who evacuated earth 700 years earlier. The people of earth ride around this space resort on hovering chairs which give them a constant feed of TV and video chatting. They drink all of their meals through a straw out of laziness and/or bone loss, and are all so fat that they can barely move. When the auto-pilot computer, acting on hastily given instructions sent many centuries before, tries to prevent the people of earth from returning, by stealing the plant, WALL-E, Eve, the portly captain, and a band of broken robots stage a mutiny.

Wall-E the Movie submitted by James C. Clark on December 28, 2008, 6:37pm Yike! I watched this Disney travesty expecting an anthropomorphic romp aimed at kids but quite suitable for the semi-adult I have become. Alas, kids will probably not like it, except for the Wall-E robot himself, and the movie jumps its own shark by allowing the orbiting bloated remains of humanity to return to an earth that will surely kill them. And don't get me started on Wall-E's love interest. A reconnaissance robot that indiscriminately blasts anything that moves has a factory-installed giggle chip? I think not.

By all means hold the course and take the disc home when it becomes available, but don't say I didn't warn you. Too long-winded and enigmatic for kids with an ending just too plain dumb for adults. That's my story and I'm sticking with it. The two stars are for the superb visual effects and the indefatigable resourcefulness of the protagonist.

Great movie for people of all ages. submitted by daviteo on December 30, 2008, 1:46am Great, charming movie for people of all ages. I'd write a review here, but it would take time from you putting in a request. Just check it out.

Cute and sweet, with a dash of deeper meaning submitted by Daniel Saltzman on January 4, 2010, 1:59pm Beautiful animation with some sweet, but slightly cheesy, kid-safe romance, some action and drama, and a happy ending with an environmental undertone throughout the film. Predictable story, but the protagonist is lovable and memorable, and the story isn't a bad one. This movie is also achingly cute.

Galactic Greatness submitted by CasualTim on April 15, 2010, 10:49am "Wall-E" is a grand achievement on many levels, and worth having around to watch many times.

Perhaps most talked about, the extended opening sequence (~40 minutes) of near-silence, will lead us to other brilliant points, but deserves to be mentioned in its own regard. Being a Pixar film, director Stanton surely had to make the case that 'yes, 40 minutes with practically no dialogue or human characters is perfectly fine for our huge demographic of children.' This is a level of confidence in both self and team that we should all be insanely jealous of. IMDB trivia claims that the Pixar team watched Chaplin and Keaton films at lunch every day for a year and a half to be inspired by 'the possibilities of pure visual storytelling.' It shows. This opening chapter is funny, heartwarming, and continually interesting. Most of all, though, is that it is immersive. No, I'm not talking about the as-yet-unproduced 3-D version of "Wall-E." I'm talking about real immersion - the kind that is skilled enough to put you in a fictional world, make you fall in love with the protagonist, and set you up for some real questions of conscience later on, all through a demonstration of situation and personality by action alone (rather than, you know, having the characters explain the plot to us). Not a moment passes, even on multiple viewings, where the viewer begins to wonder "how much longer?!"

About this quiet takeoff. My favorite critic who isn't me, Mark Kermode, noted that a perfect double feature (for adults, this time) would be the 1971 film "Silent Running" with "Wall-E." Not only do you have robot autonomy as a main aspect of each film, but you've got this great theme of the herculean weight of the loneliness of space that, without the more lighthearted aspects of "Wall-E" would be almost soul-crushing. Whereas much of "Wall-E's" commentary comes at the beginning of the film and maintains a constant hum in the background (for those listening for it), "Silent Running" builds to a maximum crescendo near its end. There's also a great discussion to be had about each film's placement of who will end up being responsible for the existence of Good as a force in the universe as humans become a more and more unsustainable species.

The serious contrast that's inevitable between the first half of "Wall-E" and the second doesn't seem out of place. It's only jarring in as much as we feel how jarring the change is for dear Wall-E. It backs up the feeling that Wall-E has been alone for such a long time, and it makes the humans, their antics and the environment they've created for themselves, all the more alien.

That sense of alienation might contribute to one of the more impressively-played notes in the film. "Wall-E" would only seem preachy to someone out to condemn it from the beginning, yet in being fully invested in the protagonist, the viewer experiences a pretty difficult conundrum: to also root for the humans, who are so clearly to blame for so much (including our Poor Robot's dire straits), or to hope that Wall-E and his newfound love find a way to make it on their own?

Luckily, we are given the answer in a way that leaves no room for second-guessing our choice: the one quality that makes us humans capable of great things - whether we choose to use it every day or once in million trillion years - is the thing that, well, I'll say it: brings the humans up to the level of morality (and innocence) that Wall-E is capable of. And of course, the willingness to utilize that quality is redemptive in the multiple ways that should be expected out of Pixar films.

Finally, about that quality we're capable of; I was referring to what A.O. Scott called "the drive to invent new things and improve the old ones," and which might more simply be described as the anti-entropy. However, it occurs to me that there is another quality in each of the characters we're rooting for that is perhaps even more important: they're all misfits. They all make the decision to break the rules when necessary (many of them are literally broken themselves), regardless of any danger, regardless of the personal price to be paid, regardless of programmed (either by chip or by habit) laws of behavior. They all help to show us the value of independent action and thinking grey in a world dictated more and more by black and white judgments (or, in this case, one and zero judgments).

A joy to watch.

Wall E submitted by marisal on August 10, 2011, 2:08pm I thought this movie was pretty good.

interesting movie submitted by fairytale on August 13, 2011, 2:16pm Interesting movie -- although I wouldn't want to watch it again & again.

Cute story submitted by VickyB77 on July 25, 2012, 10:00am Nice family movie, but can be a bit slow at times. My 3 year old couldn't really get into the movie itself, but LOVED the shorts in the Special Features.

ok submitted by watermelon on July 30, 2012, 1:13pm about a dystopian future where robots are cleaning the disaster on earth while the humans are out in space completely unaware. awful future

Great! submitted by alumeng.ajl on August 2, 2012, 5:20pm Wall-E is one of the best children's movies ever!

Good for kids and adults submitted by fizzleskittle on August 4, 2012, 1:38pm This is a good family movie-- it has both kid and adult humor. Not as good as some other Pixar movies, but worth a watch.

Terrible submitted by Motomori on August 11, 2012, 6:55pm this was the worst movie ever! I agree with you harajuku25. It really was.

So good! submitted by crazypockets on July 14, 2013, 2:30pm I think this is my favorite Pixar movie. I absolutely love the idea and the message behind it. The premise is pretty terrifying at the beginning, but it winds up hopeful and says that even the smallest person can make a difference. It's funny and poignant and inspiring. Great movie!

A great lesson submitted by bchapman630 on July 15, 2013, 9:16am The earth with only be beautiful if we take care of it and those who inhabit it. It was different than I expected, but it was a good change of pace and a sweet love story with a good message.

Cute but also critical submitted by krayla on July 29, 2013, 9:48pm In general, this movie is adorable in personifying robots and showing their growing friendship. However it also makes a clear statement about today's treatment of the Earth and that humans should take action to preserve it. I highly recommend this movie.

Fun Family movie submitted by 23lisq on July 30, 2013, 9:49pm Our family enjoyed this movie. Good story of being different and friendship.

WALL-E!!!!! submitted by crankycrack on June 20, 2015, 12:17am better than Mighty Ducks 2

Great Movie submitted by peterflorence on June 30, 2016, 12:08pm I could watch this over and over. I just hope this isn't what we will actually look like in the future.

Great submitted by tshish on July 9, 2016, 8:41pm Good movie, great lessons, very quiet movie.

Meh submitted by ishhewitt on July 14, 2016, 5:28pm I could not bond with any of the characters or the story arc. I didn't enjoy this film.

BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! submitted by graysonlandau on July 31, 2016, 2:58pm This is a very poorly made movie. It's so bad i can predict everything . A serious waste of time.

View of the future submitted by alleywater on July 3, 2017, 10:26pm A look into a possible future if conservation and respect for this Earth are not made a priority.

Cute! submitted by yenkong on July 5, 2017, 8:01pm Love Wall-E.. great movie and also touching.

Beautiful Animation submitted by Meginator on August 4, 2017, 10:13pm WALL-E is a beautiful film and its opening sequence, which requires no dialogue, is a masterpiece in visual storytelling. The filmmakers' restraint is a gamble that pays off handsomely and, though the film hits on its environmentalist themes a bit strongly at times, the message is loud and clear without too much browbeating. This is filmmaking at its best, in live action or animation, and an exploration of what is possible in cinema.

Wall E submitted by tbbrown76 on August 13, 2017, 8:33pm Environmental and humanity nightmare. Sort of.
Recommended.

Deep submitted by shumoon on November 27, 2017, 3:36am For a children's film, it has some surprisingly deep themes. Perhaps the best Pixar movie ever.

Unspoken brilliance submitted by elepling on June 22, 2018, 11:57pm This movie does a spectacular job of personifying and drawling out emotional depth from robots without substantial dialogue. This is a testament to the film’s brilliant visual storytelling.

Great story! submitted by Xris on June 25, 2018, 11:41pm Love that he found a plant and saved it! Interesting take on how humans might be in the future too.

Cute submitted by Team_ROX on June 27, 2018, 8:46pm Walle is cute and Funny to watch.

Beautiful and emotional submitted by dntanzer on August 26, 2019, 10:28pm Wall-E is a surprisingly serious look at life after the earth has been filled with trash. It's sad and beautiful and still hopeful. Another great film from Pixar

I Love Wall-e submitted by Shaylane Webb on April 2, 2020, 9:42pm I Love Wall-e So Much I Think He's Cute And I Love When He Has To Rescue EVE.

Had to watch submitted by sara on August 15, 2020, 4:10pm I probably would not have watched this movie if my cousin had not worked on it. So glad I "had" to watch it. It was great.

Wow submitted by ann arbor air on June 12, 2021, 6:13pm Wow this was incredible great to see a great thing for this summer! I needed this thanks for making it 10/10

One of the best kids movies submitted by jibkidder on June 18, 2022, 7:53am All around one of the best kids movies out and a great soundtrack helps it along. The fat, lazy humans of this movie will rise to the surface of your thoughts for years after watching.

Cute submitted by Abbie D. on July 10, 2022, 4:25pm Cute robots!

Robot movie submitted by crp on August 3, 2022, 10:54am This is a great movie for kids and adults alike! This makes you really think about human activity and what we are doing to teach our kids about that.

Eh... submitted by Bethybeth07 on August 3, 2022, 4:29pm While I get the whole concept of focusing on climate change and let's fix the world, 80% of it is just two robots yelling each other's name. My kids loved it but it gave me a headache.

Wonderful submitted by courtneyhooper on August 13, 2022, 11:28am An important, sweet, powerful movie that sticks with you

Fun and wholesome submitted by msi61 on June 21, 2023, 10:28pm It’s very heart-warming. Follow your new favorite robot friend on an adventure of discovery and love!

Surprisingly captivating for toddler submitted by robinmariepeterson on June 29, 2023, 10:07am My 2yo was very into this despite little dialogue and he was able to follow the story line.

Sweet and Fun submitted by kaymbre on July 18, 2023, 7:17am WALL-E is a remarkable movie that resonates with viewers of all ages. WALL-E, the robot, instantly captivates the audience, evoking a profound emotional connection. This is something that Pixar at the time really knew how to do -- tell a story that captures the heart. Pixar's animation prowess is on full display, transporting viewers to a visually stunning and thought-provoking futuristic world. Beyond its entertainment value, the movie delves into critical themes of environmental awareness and the transformative power of love. Like the first eight minutes of "Up" (another Pixar masterpiece), despite limited dialogue, WALL-E effectively communicates a plethora of emotions, ranging from humor to romance, leaving a lasting impact on its audience. Seamlessly blending poignant storytelling with social commentary, this timeless gem serves as a reminder to cherish life and safeguard the precious resources of our planet.
