Product Description
The highly acclaimed director of Finding Nemo and the creative storytellers behind Cars and Ratatouille transport you to a galaxy not so far away for a new cosmic comedy adventure about a determined robot named Wall-E. After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, the curious and lovable Wall-E discovers a new purpose in life when he meets a sleek search robot named Eve. Join them and a hilarious cast of characters on a fantastic journey across the universe. Transport yourself to a fascinating new world with Disney-Pixar's latest adventure, now even more astonishing on DVD and loaded with bonus features, including the exclusive animated short film Burn-E. Wall-E is a film your family will want to enjoy over and over again.

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.

 Cute movie January 8, 2009
I actually enjoy watching this animation. Its imaginative, its fun to watch, and it reminds me of this other robot movie from long ago. There's not much talking in the movie. So if you don't understand English, you don't need to worry.
oh yeah, You have to watch the Bonus Features. There's 2 short animation clips in there and it's so freaking hilarious!
Wall-E gets an A ... certainly a family flick! January 6, 2009
Just finished watching the Blu-Ray version of Wall-E and I have to say ... "WOW!"
Cartoons and animated movies like Disney's Cars and Wall-E REALLY shine in Blu-Ray and I really think that if you saw Wall-E or Cars in high def and didn't think or say "WOW" when you saw the picture and how clear and crisp it was then the whole high def experience is lost on you.
As far as the film goes ... I LOVED IT! This, in my opinion, will become a true Disney classic! I think this movie is appealing to all members of your family whether your 8, 18, 48, or 88. It is cute, heartwarming, and despite the lack of speech on the part of the two main characters the movie is very funny!
This is the epitome of a "family film" and there is absolutely NO reason why anyone should not see or not be allowed to see this film.
So, if you're looking for a family film or even if your just looking for a good funny movie Wall-E is a distinct possibility for the evening!
ALSO, if you're looking to have your HI-DEF put into use ... pick up the Blu-Ray version, dim the lights, and have a "WOW" or two ready!
 Audio dropout in very first second of movie... January 2, 2009
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
Depending on how your system is set up, the audio is cut off in the very first second of the Blu-Ray version of the movie....How do you screw up the first second of a movie and release it?...And somehow know how to put your pants on in the morning? It's so irritating it's not even funny.....
Awesome Pciture - kind of a weak movie though December 30, 2008

This is my first Blu-Ray movie and I have to say the picture quality was outstanding my 52 inch Toshiba LCD. A visual masterpiece if there ever was one.
However, the movie itself is lame. Not my cup of tea. My fiance loved it though. Definetly a kids movie but if you're new to Blu-Ray and want to see the best picture available do yourself a favor and buy this.
This movie is a technical showcase - the move itself has little substance if any to be had.
Great Movie - Possibly a Bad disc December 30, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
My kids love the movie and it is great. The only problem is that it seems to freeze for a few seconds on one of the scenes in space. I think the disc might be bad as it is a brand new Sony BDP-S550 player. Have seen other reports of this. Maybe the movie has too much DRM.
