Pixar’s Wall-E tells us the story of a future that we hope could never be. In Wall-E’s future there is but one company. Buy and Large runs every thing from the Gas stations to the Super Markets, the Malls to the Space Liners. But there is a problem they are not doing so good of a job cleaning up the trash. So BnL’s CEO Shelby Forthright get’s everyone to leave the planet for 5 years and let the Wall-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) robots clean up the mess.

700 years later there is only one Wall-E robot left functioning. He is still going about his daily routine of picking up trash, compacting it into cubes and use the cube to built tall towers of trash. But, he is also doing something out side his normal programing he is collecting bit and pieces that he finds interesting and taking them back to the Wall-E carrier at the end of the day. Where he watches old musicals and dreams of having someone to hold his hand. Then one day a sleek flying robot named EVE comes to Earth on a Top Secret mission and Wall-E falls for her hard. When Wall-E shows her the plant he found EVE’s programing takes over and she scoops up the plant and goes into sleep mode. The probe ship returns to collect EVE and Wall-E grabs on for a ride to the mother-ship where his adventures really begin.

Wall-E is a fun film with a message about waste and the environment. Kids will love it for all the robots and adventure. While the robots speak very little the message they convey is universal. Adults will love it for the fun and humor, and will get more of the satire that appears. In what is the first for a Pixar film Shelby Forthright is a live action charter, played by Fred Willard, but is only seen as pre-recorded segments. Wall-E is great fun and has moved in to the number two spot of my favorite Pixar films so go check it out.
