"I don't want to survive, I want to live!"
In the distant future, WALL-E, a lone robot designed to sort waste, roams a ruined city on an abandoned planet Earth. One day, WALL-E befriends EVE, a robot from space that arrives on Earth to collect a plant sample. When an automated ship collects EVE to return to space, WALL-E follows EVE, leaving Earth and subsequently discovering the disturbing fate of humankind.
With WALL-E, Pixar Animation Studios continues to push the boundaries of the medium. Starring a cast of robots imbued with incredible personality, with its human characters only serving in minor supporting roles, WALL-E is a true work of art created in a medium that's accessible to audiences of all ages. The filmmakers tell a convincing love story between machines while presenting uncompromising social commentary on the state of the environment and the automated nature of society by showing audiences a potentially bleak future should humanity stay its destructive consumerist course.
Acclaimed Hollywood sound designer provides the mechanical voice of WALL-E while Pixar staff member plays EVE. Comedian Jeff Garlin does a fine job as the naive captain of the Axion, one of the few human characters of the film. Jovial character actor Fred Willard appears in live-action footage as the CEO of the Buy n Large Corporation. Sigourney Weaver is heard in a brief but memorable part as the voice of the Axiom's computer.
WALL-E is a technological and cinematic marvel, beautifully animated, standing head and shoulders above films from competing studios. The trademark visionary and heartfelt style of Pixar Animation Studios is in full force in this futuristic space adventure.
