Easily my favorite Pixar movie. WALL-E did not initially catch my attention when advertized, but seeing the film in theaters easily reminded me of the magic that Pixar could make.
WALL-E is the story of a robot named WALL-E who finds himself on a journey across the galaxy that was never meant for him. In a world where mankind has destroyed the earth that has given them life (insert epic voice) one robot has found a soul. While other man-made machines simply finish tasks for their human masters WALL-E grew beyond such limitations and teaches both fellow machines as well as humans to essentially come to life. With the world abandoned, humans live on a spaceship which provides for them what ever they may desire. Such a life style leads the humans to become overweight, lazy, and unsocial. It is WALL-E a machine lacking even an ability to fully speak who is able to remind the humans what it is to have life again. When each new robot comes into contact with WALL-E they ignore him or try to “fix” him. As they spend more time with WALL-E they all realize that no matter how perfect or flawed they are, there is more to their existence that fulfilling a single task. The focus of WALL-E’s affection is another robot named EVE. She is far more technologically advanced than WALL-E and like the other robots, at first looks down on WALL-E for his strangeness. This relationship is the most meaningful in the end and with out spoiling the movie, the end shows that the unseen connection between two beings, what even they may be, holds a far greater importance than any material/physical attribute. I give this movie a 9/10. I absolutely love the movie for all of the reasons I pointed out, but the problem that keeps it from a perfect 10 is so many people miss the key messages the film aims to convey. I know that Pixar could have made the beautiful plot points easier for the masses to grasp and wish they would have worked just a little bit more with dialogue.
9/10
