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.

 Don't buy this if it's a surprise--the packaging has "Wall-E" all over it! November 20, 2008

The movie is great, but Amazon packages it in a mailer that says "Wall-E" in three different places! It also says "Disney" all over it, so I guess it's great for promotion, but I can think of reasons that buyers would not want the contents of their Amazon mailers labeled with what's inside. Guess whose kids figured out a Christmas present when they got the mail today?
 Charming, Endearing, Wonderful Movie for All Ages! November 20, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Pixar, you've outdone yourselves on this one! I won't go into the story because other reviews have covered that. I do want to say that while the movie has an adult message and many small details that only adults will recognize and appreciate (much in way of the Shrek movies), Wall-E should appeal to all ages. There's a robot romance and cute funny scenes that kids in the audience seemed to love, the animation is absolutely spectacular, and the story rocks. As the credits rolled (you need to watch the credits for extra scenes) the entire audience applauded and cheered.
Those who didn't like this movie because they saw it as a movie about fat people are truly missing the point. While I'm heavy myself, I didn't get that from it at all, but thought that the fat people were to make the point that sitting around letting technology do everything for us will help make us overweight.
A wonderful, utterly charming, heartwarming, endearing, and funny technological love story with a real environmental message, Wall-E is a keeper. I'll enjoy watching it again and again!
NOT A DVD November 20, 2008

I am so disappointed. Thinking that I was buying the one with all the perks and a DVD because it says DVD, I was so disappointed to see that it's digital and won't play on my DVD player. I'm out over $20!
Great movie, horrible manufacturing November 20, 2008

Be very careful about purchasing the special 3-disc Blu-Ray set. They had something go horribly wrong during the manufacturing. Discs missing, unplayable, etc. My first copy from Amazon had no feature film, two copies of the Bonus Disc 1, no Bonus Disc 2, and the Digital copy. The second one from Amazon had no Bonus Disc 2. Hopefully the third time is the charm.
PIXAR'S MASTERPEICE! CHECK FOR DEFECTIVE DISCS?! November 20, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Once again Pixar proves to be a giant among it's peers! 'Wall E' is nothing short of amazing and steps outside it's "kiddies movie" boundaries with this smart and endearing Sci-Fi love story! While the film is short on dialogue, it does not suffer from having nothing to say! It's amazing(there goes that word again!)how much is said without the use of "words" in this beautiful and poignant film.
Not since R2 D2 stole the show in 'A New Hope' has a little robot had so much character and charm. Wall E says little, but his feelings are so well conveyed you won't miss one heartbeat! Besides having many great and lovable characters, the animation is truly breathtaking. The story may be a little too deep a satire for small children to truly understand, but they will fall in love with the characters anyway.
This is one of the greatest Sci-Fi films ever made bar none! It's a monumental achievement on every level and Pixar should be very proud of their new baby!......It's just fantastic! I can't wait to watch it again and I will this weekend. The 3 disc set is wonderful with so many great treasures to uncover and a beautiful DVD transfer to boot. Wall E is nothing short of spectacular and it should be up for Academy Awards across the board!
****ONE SIDE NOTE**** My copy had problems playing for the first half hour or so, I'm waiting for a replacement to see if it's an isolated case or the entire batch of DVD's is bad, I will add the information once I know more, it would be tragic if this fantastic movie's release is defective by design!
The defective disc does play perfectly in some of my DVD players while not so well in my home theater Denon 3910 machine!? I have had this problem with only a hand full of discs,
1)Casino 10th anniversary
2)Hammer box set(Evil Of Frankenstein)
3)Rodan(new 2 disc edition released with War Of The Gargantuas which plays perfectly?)
4)Wall E (3 disc version not sure if the 1 disc version has the same problem?)
I hope Disney is going to correct this problem and offer replacements.
