WALL-E An Indepth Look Into The Cutest Film of 2008

WALL-E is hailed to be one of the Heroes of 2008 and with Andrew Stanton behind the film it’s not hard to see why. At the Comic-Con Andrew gave an in-depth look into WALL-E and made the anticipation levels for this animation even higher!

Wall-E didn’t spring from an idea like most movies, it came from a question that Andrew asked himself – “What if mankind had to evacuate Earth and someone forgot to turn the last robot off?” With the question plaguing him for the next seven years, he decided to elaborate his idea while doing heavy rewrites on everybody’s favourite – Finding Nemo.

Combining two of Andrews’s loves, The Space Movie Genre and the giving of life to an inanimate object, he spent most of his time procrastinating about this rusty 400 year old compacting trash robot called WALL-E. A plot outline follows.

In the future, overpopulation and rampant consumerism buries the world, literally, in trash. The entire population is forced to re-colonize for a five year cruise in space on luxurious star-liners which are packed with all the latest and greatest in care, entertainment and automation.
While the entire population are living it up on the cruise, everyone forgets about the WALL-E units that were sent to clean up the planet. One robot continues to compact trash for over four centuries. Over this time, he has grown more and more curious about the artefacts and history of mankind.

One day, an unusual event occurs causing WALL-E to seize an opportunity to go out into space and take a break from his life-long routine. WALL-E goes into space to discover that mankind has turned into a bunch of couch potatoes with house serving robots catering to their every needs. WALL-E is essentially the only one still living and falls head over heels in love with a probot called EVE.

The Movie then follows WALL-E’s struggle to win EVE’s heart and his unique appreciation of life to become mankind’s last hope to rediscover its roots.

Director Andrew said of the Film, “One thing I knew in the beginning is I didn’t want to have dialogue in the traditional sense. In order to stay true to the integrity of the inanimate object, I really wanted to view most of it’s personality through how it was constructed. And it’s a metal box, a piece of electronics. I’m basically making R2-D2 the movie.”

With such adorable characters and a strong message, this movie can’t fail.
