I know it is a little late to write about this but I am going to write about it anyways. I watched the recent Pixar movie, Wall-E and I absolutely loved it. I still love it, so much that I want to see it again and maybe buy it when it comes out on DVD.I felt that Pixar really pushed themselves for the graphics for this movie. They said in an interview that they have had this idea for about fifteen years. The lead story director, I forget his name, says that this is one of his favorite storylines he created and when he was in the making of Finding Nemo and he would get bored and just work on Wall-E. I have to admit though; Finding Nemo is a tad bit boring compared to the other Pixar movies.
I felt that the storyline was well plotted and wasn’t cliché at all. This movie was about how the human race was so polluted with trash that it can no longer support life. They left behind little robots to clean up after them while they were gone. Those robots were called Wall-E units, which stands for, Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-class. Almost seven hundred years later, there was only one Wall-E left out of many. He survived by using parts of old Wall-E units that died out. He loves collecting a bunch of nick-knacks and storing them in his home, which is a really big storage container. He seems really interested in the human race and collects things to learn about them. He comes across a video tape and learns about humans and emotions. In the movie it emphasizes love and the act of holding hands and as he watches this, he feels lonely and wishes he had someone to do that with.
Shortly after, a spaceship lands on earth and deploys a robot named Eve which stands for Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator. Wall-E falls in love with her immediately but even though she seems interested in Wall-E she seems more focused on her duty to find a plant, which is a sign of life and means that humans can return to earth. One day Wall-E shows her a plant he found which causes her to store it and lock up. Wall-E does his best to look after her while she is sleeping and waiting for her ship to return.
The ship comes and picks her up and Wall-E clings on to the ship right after her. Eve goes to the captain and attempts to show him the plant but finds it missing. They think she is malfunctioning and sends her away to get fixed. Wall-E can’t see what’s really going on and think that she is being hurt and rushes in to “save her” but ends up freeing all the other malfunctioning robots instead.
They all run around the ship like crazy and try to find the plant. Later on the figure out that the plant was taken away and that there are robots preventing them from bringing them to the captain. They eventually get it to the captain after hard work and clawing their way through the controlling robots.
They eventually move back and live happily ever after!I don’t want to say way too much and give every detail away but I really loved the fat people in this movie!
