Summary
Animated sci-fi comedy featuring the voices of Sigourney Weaver, Ben Burtt and Elissa Knight. On a refuse-covered Earth of the future, a lonely robot called WALL-E is carrying out its function to compress and form litter into towers, a task it was programmed to do by the humans who abandoned the barren planet centuries ago. Then a visit from a probe called EVE brings hope that Earth could be populated once more.

Stella Papamichael
The Oscar-winning writer/director of Finding Nemo, Andrew Stanton, serves up another treat with this enchanting animated tale about a lonely robot. WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-class) is programmed to continually compress rubbish, a job that remains unfinished several hundred years after the human race has left the Earth. WALL-E gets some relief from this solitary existence with the arrival of EVE (Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator), a probe-droid that comes looking for signs of life. Love-struck, he follows EVE back to her mother ship where humans once again threaten to spoil the mood. Classic moments abound here, such as a zero-gravity dance, WALL-E hitching a ride through space and, rather aptly, our mechanoid hero sticking out in a line-up of soulless automatons. Stanton creates a haunting sense of WALL-E's isolation in the early scenes on an eerie, unpopulated Earth and is well served by a voice cast that includes Sigourney Weaver and Pixar regular John Ratzenberger. But this is a film that offers much more than a cast of A-list actors delivering wisecracks at warp speed. This is a movie with genuine heart.
