Wall-E

Watch the trailer for Wall-E:

I saw Pixars Wall-E the other night. Brilliant movie as you can expect from the genius animators at Pixar. As with Pixar feature length animations, there is a screening of a short film just before the actual movie. This time it was a hilarious film called “Presto” featuring a magician performing in front of an audience while having to deal with his hungry rabbit.

 

About Wall-E now. This movie is set in the year 2815. Planet earth is devoid of human life and there are towering skyscrapers of un-recycled compacted waste. A robot, Wall-E takes trash, compacts them into cubes and arranges these cubes. His side-kick is a cockroach – I don’t recall this character ever having a name in the movie. One day, Wall-E discovers a seedling plant growing in an old refrigerator. He replants this seedling in an old shoe.

 

As the days go by, a massive spaceship-like thing lands near Wall-E’s place and a white robot by the name of Eve is left behind. Predictably these two robots fall in love. Eve then stumbles upon the seedling plant, puts it her “tummy” and suddenly goes into “sleep” mode. A saddened Wall-E tries to wake her up but fails.

Soon after, the spaceship like thing lands again and captures Eve. Wall-E stows himself away on the ship worried that he may lose his lady love… I won’t spoil it! Go and watch this adorable movie, it fun and suiteble for the whole family. Movie trailers here!
