Wall-E (Spanish) starring Jeff Garlin,
Kathy Najimy, John Ratzenberger,
Sigourney Weaver, Fred Willard
The Best Animated Movie Ever!
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. Hes 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 hes 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. EVEs
directive compels her to bring Wall-Es 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
magicians rabbit, unfed one too many times takes his revenge against the
egotistical magician. (Ages 3 and older) --Tami Horiuchi> Stills from Wall-E

WALL-E depicts the earth and human after 700 years in a creative
perspective, when the earth becomes a huge trash bin and human beings
lose their basic biological ability on a spaceship. The story follows a robot
named WALL-E, who is designed to clean up a waste-covered Earth far in
the future. He eventually falls in love with another robot named EVE, and
follows her into outer space on an adventure that changes the destiny of
both his kind and humanity. WALL-E distorts people's stereotype of
animated films, which are known as childish and peripheral without
profound thought. Although WALL-E has some humorous and pleasant
plots to entertain the audience, it is an influential and inspiring film because
it provokes deep thinking by challenging the benefit of technology,
impresses the audience by true love between WALL-E and Eve, and sends
a hope by finding a balance between people and machines
WALL-E works like a tale story to make people be conscious of some
negative influence of advanced technology when enjoying the interesting
love story between two robots. One question would catch people's mind
after they watch the film, what is the true benefit of technology? In the film,
people sit on automatic chairs and are extremely obese. Since people
don't have enough physical exercises, pear-like human even lose their
ability to walk and work normally. In the film, human is no longer a
dominant factor to forward the plot, but an ironic component used by the
director to invoke the audience's thought.
The film also encourages the audiences to imagine a world filled with
trash, and we, human beings, have no place to live. When the camera
zooms into the details of the earth, people soon find out that the high
buildings on earth are actually countless piles of trash. The sharp contrast
leads people to rethink the value of modernization, which can turn our
beautiful and vigorous earth into a huge trash bin. Although it is an
animated film, WALL-E ignites people's consciousness of protecting our
earth from pollution.
Different from other animated films made specifically for young kids,
WALL-E shows a romantic love story between two robots. Although love is
an everlasting theism in many films, how to express true and pure love
through a 90- minute film can never be an easy topic for directors. But the
robotic love in the film teaches the audience how to treasure their own love
in daily life. The love between WALL-E and Eve breaks the traditional
mode of Hollywood love story, which consists of romantic oath and
affectionate hug between two lovers. In WALL-E, their words are limited,
their emotions are hard to express, and even their sexual distinction is not
clarified. But as the story forward, the audiences are deeply moved by their
romantic love. When WALL-E falls in love with Eve, what he wants to give
Eve is happiness and safety. In order to save Eve from danger, WALL-E
leaves his home, gets to a distant planet and stays with Eve without
hesitation. His brevity to seek true love moves every people.
The robotic love story becomes especially precious for its purity,
because more and more people consider money and wealth as part of
romance and marriage. WALL-E is a good teacher of true love, because
he knows what pure love is and how to be romantic. Though WALL-E does
some funny and awkward actions to win Eve's heart, their impressive story
redefines modern people's understanding of love, which actually means
sacrifice for each other without asking for return.
WALL-E also gives us a positive and hopeful future. With a warm ending
of bright future, WALL-E shows its main theism that our life can be better
when people can live harmoniously with different animals and work
compatibly with machines. The ending sequence sends a signal of hope
that we can find a balance between advanced technology and people
without downside. The film uses picturesque and poetic images to show
the earth after rebuilding. On the new-born earth, there are no more high
buildings, no more factories and no more pollution. Birds are chipping,
people are singing, and the two main characters are living together. What
the earth has are green plants, vibrant animals and energetic people, who
are working compatibly with machines. Although the future world in the film
is utopian, it successfully sets up an ideal idea to have a biological balance
between human and nature, so that people can live peacefully with all the
creatures in the world.
WALL-E has received nearly unanimous acclaim by film critics since its
release. WALL-E won the 2008 Golden Globe Award for best animated
film and ranks first in Time's "best movies of the decade". The huge
success of WALL-E proves that animated films can also show profound
thought. The film incorporates several major concerns in the real world,
including modernization, love and harmonium, into one 90-minute
animated film. Since WALL-E can put the audiences into deep thinking
about their life and values, it is more than a simple film made for young
kids. WALL-E actually explores the future of humanity in a pleasant
atmosphere.
