Directed By: Andrew Stanton

For a company like Pixar the record speaks for itself. Year after year their films come out and continue to wow audiences of children and adults alike. More than just making the best animated films on the market, Pixar makes great films period. Their latest is quite possibly their greatest, and given their canon that is no small task. WALL*E is also a startlingly different product, featuring among other things, two main characters who say little more than their names for the entire film. Even with this handicap, the film develops a real love story between the two characters which competes with even the best Hollywood dramas. More than anything, Pixar continues to redefine what抯 possible in an animated film.
Completely alone. That抯 WALL*E抯 (Waste Allocation Lift Loader, Earth Class) condition as the last remaining robot on the planet earth 700 years in the future. Fortunately for a curious robot like him, the apocalyptic Earth features more than places to explore and things to discover. A mission from the remaining humans in space brings him EVE, another robot to finally practice the romantic moves he learned from old musicals. However, her mission takes the both of them into space to help the humans potentially return to their planet.
WALL*E is a beautiful film that does almost everything exactly right. The love story between the two robots could have been weird, but the animators rendered the two capable of displaying actual emotions. Even though the two have limed vocabularies, audiences will find the robots amazingly expressive. The story is the only thing holding the film back, but offers up little-seen social commentary concerning the environment and multinational corporations. It seems everyone has different preference concerning their favorite Pixar, but anyone who sees this one will almost certainly agree to its greatness.
