Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWALL·E stands for: Waste Allocation Load Lifter: Earth Class. EVE stands for: Extra-terrestrial Vegetation Evaluator.
- Goofs(at around 1h 19 mins) When the Axiom goes into a roll, the passengers and a considerable amount of heavy equipment are thrown off balance, rolling and piling up against one side of the common area. This should not happen as the gravity originates within the ship, not from an exterior source "beneath" it. Its artificial gravity should hold everyone and everything right side up no matter what position it assumes. It is possible that AUTO intentionally or inadvertently shifted the angle of the artificial gravity during the "roll" maneuver, but it was still presented as being directly caused by the roll, and there is no reason for such an effect to have been designed into the ship originally.
- Crazy creditsThe Pixar logo at the end has the lamp Luxo Jr's light bulb burn out, so WALL-E enters and replaces the light bulb. But as he leaves he accidentally knocks down the "R" in the logo, and he tries to cover it up by posing like an "R".
- Alternate versionsEnd credits for international versions feature additional dubbing credits footage. It contains animation of WALL·E in the same 8-bit video game graphics style as the original end credits compacting two vertical rows of different objects into cubes of garbage only to have two WALL·A robots collide in the front of the screen, closing the credits.

Featured review
A timeless masterpiece
Personal Rating: 10/10 (Outstanding)
I still remember just how impactful this movie was on me when I saw it as a child. The visuals, storytelling, how it made you think. And 12 years later it still stands as one of the best movies Pixar has ever made, and truly a hallmark of animated films.
The start of this movie. I could watch on an indefinite loop. The emotions you feel, the bond that grows between you and a robot in the introductory minutes, is storytelling at it's finest. No words have to be spoken and yet this movie world builds better than most 2-hour-long fantasy movies where the characters don't shut up.
The visuals. The visuals in this movie are stunning, the way they direct the eye, immerse you in the world, make you laugh and make you cry, a huge credit to the artists who worked on this film. And also interestingly enough, to Roger Deakins, who contributed to the first 20 minutes of the film and to the animating team, as he consulted on how to light scenes, he's quoted saying "the natural world that we live in just isn't as well-lit as your typical animated world." So by darkening scenes, adding shadow and cutting the number of lights used, they added a huge layer of realism to WALL-E.
The story, how you learn and feel about the characters (who the majority of are robots), the music, it's all superbly done. I can't think of anything I would change. But all this alone isn't what earns it the 10/10 rating, it's the themes, the tones, the way this "for children" movie makes you think, that earns my full respect.
For the most part, humans choose what's convenient, sacrificing privacy, health, well being, relationships and the like for that. WALL-E showed that exact point like never before. It takes effort to overcome the norm, to work towards a goal, even when it's not rainbows and peaches when one is determined they can do amazing things. Which is why the ending of this movie isn't bleak, it's inspiring. (spoilers) Humans come back to earth because of one lonesome plant. But it's enough to give them hope, and determination, to work on transforming the planet. And that was just one of the themes explored beautifully. I already know I'll be watching this movie again, and again.
Thanks for reading my review.
