Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
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

Strong film, probably best seen in cinema.
It worked on most levels for me - the robotic romance was just a bit cloying sometimes.
Messages about human greed, servility to technology, environmentalism and also human endeavour delivered very effectively indeed.
Enjoyable - and more than just entertainment.

Wall E is simply amazing, i really like all the cleaver messages this movie holds, and how the creators have made a robot that speaks about two words become so lovable, i agree with some people the start can be slow but it allows you to get a understand of Wall E and what the situation is, the robot has plenty of character and i think all in all this is a GREAT MOVIE :)

Film: From the single word phrases WALL.E and EVE vocalise (alot of their dialogue is limited to beeps and vocoded sentences), it seems to bring them to life really well. The captain of the ship is voice acted really well too.
Although it's inspired from various sci fi films, the film has a uniqueness all of it's own. The funny scenes really did make me chuckle and the sort of plausible dystopian view of life 700 years into the future doesn't preach a green message at you like Happy Feet did, rather plays subtely in the background so it can be read on many different levels.
The animation is absoloutely stunning, especially outer space like the Sun and Saturn's rings. WALL.E's design may not be 100% original (a cross between a robotic E.T. meets Short Circuit's Johnny 5) but for such little dialogue, the character's personalities are shown very well indeed.
Love the score - it really does complete the scenes and the Hello Dolly use is charming and fitting ... Read More

The population of the earth have to leave and go to live on giant holiday resorts in space due to human failures to address the problems of waste and pollution. 750 years later, the population of these resorts have not learnt from they're mistakes and have become fat and lazy, eating, sleeping and loafing about without getting out of they're hover chairs, doing little all day apart from interact with others through a social networking terminal that is perched permanently in front of them....Here they chat and obsess constantly about themselves, and are addicted to and strive for the continuous instant gratification found on 'myface'.... sound familiar?
Every now and again the ships computer sends off a probe to check out earth to find out if it is yet possible to support life. Wal-e is the last of the waste disposal droids that has been left on earth and has evolved and developed a mind of his own, his only friend being a cockroach who follows him everywhere. When one of the probes ... Read More
