WALL-E

Written & Directed by Andrew Stanton

“I don’t want to survive. I want to live.”

WALL-E is the story of a cute little robot, left befhind to clean up the mess on an abandoned planet Earth.

Earth is a dump: abandoned to its fate by the BuyNLarge Company…its garbage and detritus is everywhere. The Earth is beige and dusty and forgotten…and its WALL-E’s job to try and clean it.

WALL-E lives in an abandoned cargo ship, with a wonderful, magical collection of stuff. His favourite movie is Hello Dolly (of course he’s a Streisand fan).

WALL-E has a pet cockroach, who seems indestructible, and follows him everywhere.

WALL-E is lonley and wants love…and then the sleek little robot EVE arrives, stealing his heart and changing his life forever.

WALL-E is an absolutely brilliant movie…part silent film, part anti-corporate/anti-Wal-Mart fable…and completely wonderful. It’s motion picture art at its most exquisite, and it could well be the most powerful, simple statement a Pixar movie has ever made on the silver screen. Sheer genius!

WALL-E made me cry like a baby at the very end of the film. Damn it! Not much more I can say after that… beam
