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.

 Great movie, horrible manufacturing November 20, 2008
M. MacAskill
Be very careful about purchasing the special 3-disc Blu-Ray set. They had something go horribly wrong during the manufacturing. Discs missing, unplayable, etc. My first copy from Amazon had no feature film, two copies of the Bonus Disc 1, no Bonus Disc 2, and the Digital copy. The second one from Amazon had no Bonus Disc 2. Hopefully the third time is the charm.
 PIXAR'S MASTERPEICE!............SO FAR! CHECK FOR DEFECTS?! November 20, 2008
! MR. KNOW IT ALL ;-b (TRI STATE AREA)
Once again Pixar proves to be a giant among it's peers! 'Wall E' is nothing short of amazing and steps outside it's "kiddies movie" boundaries!
While the film is short on dialogue, it does not suffer from having nothing to say! It's amazing(there goes that word again!)how much is said without the use of "words" in this beautiful and poignant film.
Not since R2 D2 stole the show in 'A New Hope' has a little robot had so much character and charm. Wall E says little, but his feeling are so well conveyed you won't miss one heart beat! A side from the many great and lovable characters, the animation is truly breathtaking. The story may be a little too deep a satire for small children to truly understand, but they will fall in love with the characters anyway.
This is one of the greatest Sci-Fi films ever made bar none! It's a monumental achievement on every level and Pixar should be very proud of their new baby!......It's just fantastic! I can't wait to watch it again and I will this weekend. The 3 disc set is wonderful with so many great treasures to uncover and a beautiful DVD transfer to boot. Wall E is nothing short of spectacular and it should be up for Academy Awards across the board!
****ONE SIDE NOTE**** My copy had problems playing for the first half hour or so, I'm waiting for a replacement to see if it's an isolated case or the entire batch of DVD's is bad, I will add the information once I know more, it would be tragic if this fantastic movie's release is defective by design!

There was never a more impressionable movie. It's a wonderful, telling tale everyone in the family can adore from beginning to end! The creators should be honored to have concocted such a treasurable jewel for the ages! In a word, it's truly a masterpiece! I can't speak highly enough about this movie! :)

I loved the film. Loved it.
Those consideriing buying the 3 disc special edition should be wary. I havent had the trouble some others have had with the discs themselves. the packaging SUCKS. BIG TIME SUCKS.
Its very difficult to remove the inner sub-sleeves (I wont call them cases) from the outer package (again I wont call it a case) the first time without accidentally ripping the sleeve apart. The die-cuts on the sleeves want to grab one another and the outer package. Children will almost undoubtedly end up tearing the sleeves and probably the outer package apart just trying to get the sleeves out of the package to watch the disc.
After buying so many dvds & dvd sets in nice molded plastic cases, to get a cheap cardboard case, and a poorly designed one at that, is very disappointing (especially when compared to the other Pixar dvds in my collection. Wall-E deserved much better, and Disney owes its customers replacements.
