Plot: In the early 22nd century, the megacorporation "Buy n Large" assumed control of every economic service on Earth, including the government. Overrun by un-recycled waste, the planet became so polluted that it could no longer support life. Buy n Large CEO Shelby Forthright developed "Operation Recolonize," that would have all humans spend the next five years in outer space aboard fully-automated luxury starliners, while an army of "Waste Allocation Load-Lifter Earth-Class" ("WALL-E") robots would organize the waste for disposal. However, the plan broke down, and thus humanity continued to live aboard the starliners for centuries. After 700 years of living in micro-gravity, the humans underwent substantial bone loss, thus becoming too obese to do anything without the help of robotic assistance, including piloting the ships, which is handled by their individual computerized autopilots. On Earth, all of the WALL-E units have deactivated except for one; this remaining unit still performs his duties but, after centuries of prolonged activation, has achieved a form of sentience, collecting interesting knickknacks, befriending a cockroach, and watching an old videotape of the movie musical Hello, Dolly! to learn about human emotions including love.

Extras for the release are massive, and include:

  • A digital copy of the film you can transfer to an iPod, iPhone or similar device.
  • An audio commentary with director Andrew Stanton.
  • The Pixar short "Presto" that opened for WALL-E in theaters
  • A second Pixar short, "BURN-E." This is a short about the welder robot who was seen banging his fists against the door of the Axiom spaceship. It was produced at the same time as the movie for inclusion here.
  • BnL Shorts. Some amusing peeks into the workings of the Buy n Large Corporation.
  • Deleted scenes (with introductions), including "Garbage Airlock" (WALL-E rescues EVE from being ejected from the ship, then revives her) and "Dumped" (when WALL-E gives the plant to EVE, she realizes she must take it to the bridge so it can be analyzed).
  • "Animation Sound Design: Building Worlds From The Sound Up." Complete with historic footage, this featurette compares Ben Burtt's work on WALL-E to the sound design in early Disney films.
  • "WALL-E's Tour of the Universe." The press release says "Join WALL-E on his own private tour of the Universe through the World-Wide Telescope, narrated by Auto-Pilot."
  • An interactive game, "WALL-E's Treasures and Trinkets."
  • The "Lots of Bots" storybook, the video re-creation of a cute actual storybook.

Comments:

I am floored. I didn't think it was possible for Pixar to surpass Toy Story, but it has. A sophisticated treat for adults and teens, a cuddly romance for the juice-box set, this comedic science fiction thriller romance (really!) takes the company to a new, more mature level. Filled with artistry, depth, meaning and a lot of humor, WALL-E is a masterpiece. Where Cars was a kid's movie with added adult themes, this is an adult movie with added value for children.
