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.

 Overrated and a disappointment December 1, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Considering I am a huge fan of Disney Pixar movies (Nemo being my all time favorite, with Bugs Life coming in a strong second) I was extremely disappointed with this film. However, I did find Walle to be cute and I liked the interraction with him and Eve. But then, it struck me as too preachy. Humans are now so lazy they have lost the ability to walk, drink food from cups, and have no interraction with eachother, living on a ship in space because they have ruined Earth with too much trash. Save me the lefty liberal BS and ENTERTAIN ME, please!!!!
 Great film worth buying December 1, 2008
I don't buy DVDs that often but I HAD to buy WALL*E since it was such a wonderful, moving film. I cried 2 times in the theater release of this film and did the same when watching at home. Call me an old softie, but I loved this film. Definitely a good buy at this price!
 Not a movie to begin a child's movie-going experience. December 1, 2008
After a co-worker recommended this movie, we took our three year old son to see his first movie in a theater. He loves Toy Story, Spongebob and Madagascar to name a few.
I'm not saying the movie isn't good for older children. I'm just saying we don't recommend this for a child who's attention span isn't long enough to withstand the periods of time where there isn't much going on in the movie. We were expecting more of a fast pace and colorful movie. The movie had a lot dull, dark moments that didn't keep your attention as well as we had expected.
 Good Movie, Flawed Product December 1, 2008

Don't get me wrong, I love the Wall-E movie. In fact, it is one of the best movies I have ever seen. However, it is with this 'Wall-E (Three-Disc Special Edition + Digital Copy)' that I have issues. Now please note that although I am in Australia, I have bought dozens of DVDs from Amazon, 100% of which I have been able to view without problems on my computer, using either Power DVD or Windows Media Player. This Wall-E 3 Disc Edition, however, will not run at all on my computer, not on Power DVD or Windows Media Player. All it does is cycle through all the chapters in a few seconds, and then returns to the menu. To add injury to insult, Disc 3, the digital copy of the movie, when I type in the redemption code, mocks me by saying that I don't live in the USA, so my registration is invalid. I am not aware of any such warning mentioned in the sales blurb. Conclusion: good movie, completely flawed product. The only part that worked was the Disc 2, the extras. Hmm, helpful...
wonderful, special edition worth it December 1, 2008
Great DVD to pick up, high replay value. The cardboard packaging is iffy but consistent with the movie (one would have difficulty imagining landfill/carbon-unfriendly products). The story is probably one of the best of Pixar's excellent line, both friendly to adults and kids (who woulda thought a robot would be this cuddly). The added bonus stuff is highly watchable - an extra short BURN-E in addition to the theatrical short, commentary, BnL commercials, robot specs, making of documentaries, and a history of Pixar. I feel the extras make it worthwhile to pickup the special edition.
