Disney-Pixar do it again with Wall-E!
The wait is over! Disney Pixar's latest movie Wall-e will be on DVD November 18. The Wall-e movie is another great Disney Pixar hit. The storyline is that humans have messed up the earth so much they have to leave the planet and wait for the robots to clean it up. But the robots all break down. Except for Wall-e. (Waste Allocation Load Lifter -- Earth-Class).
The character seems almost child-like. Wall-E spends all day compacting trash, and in the mean time he discovers treasures which he keeps in his Playmate cooler, for transfer to his collection shelf inside his "home".
Wall-e is all alone on Earth until Eve arrives. She was sent by the humans to find out whether or not it is safe for them to return to the Earth.
Wall-e is a love story like nothing that we have seen before. Although Wall-e uses very little dialogue it manages to touch the heart of the audience.
Wall-e falls in love with Eve. Her full name is Extra Terrestrial Vegetation Evaluator. She is a sleek, sophisticated probe droid who is far more advanced than Wall-e. She can fly and has her own very destructive laser gun.
The Wall-e movie is a love story with a powerful message. The relationship between Eve and Wall-e seems very real, even if they are both robots.
Wall-e is directed by Andrew Stanton who won an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for his movie Finding Nemo. Andrew Stanton thought of the idea for the Wall-e movie before Toy Story was made.
Ben Burtt designed most of the voices, which are mostly electronic sounds. To make the sounds he took mechanical sounds and combined them to resemble dialogue. Burtt is known for his work on the Star Wars movies.
Wall-e had to wait a while from the original concept to arriving on the screen. After Andrew Stanton had completed Finding Nemo he felt that the technology was ready to create the effects that he needed for the movie. His feeling was that if they could create the effect of the sea, the the ai
r was the next step.
The movie has something for everyone. The animation is perfect, and while there is little dialog throughout the movie, it is still engaging in a way which demonstrated that communication is often independent of words. This is a big movie which will keep you engaged for 90 minutes.
WALL-E is a 2008 computer animated science fiction film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The film, which follows the romance between two robots in the future, was released on June 27, 2008. The film is being directed by Andrew Stanton, whose previous film, Finding Nemo, won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Jim Morris, who previously worked for Lucasfilm, will be the producer. Most of the characters are not voiced by actors, but by sound design by Ben Burtt which resembles voices. Thomas Newman, who composed Finding Nemo, will reunite with Stanton to compose the film's score.
Story
According to John Lasseter in a presentation to Disney corporate investors:
| “ | WALL-E is the story of the last little robot on Earth. He is a robot and his programming was to help clean up. You see, it's set way in the future. Through consumerism, rampant, unchecked consumerism, the Earth was covered with trash. And to clean up, everyone had to leave Earth and set in place millions of these little robots that went around to clean up the trash and make Earth habitable again. Well, the cleanup program failed with the exception of this one little robot and he's left on Earth doing his duty all alone. But it's not a story about science fiction. It's a love story, because, you see, WALL·E falls in love with EVE, a robot from a probe that comes down to check on Earth, and she's left there to check on and see how things are going and he absolutely falls in love with her. | ” |
WALL-E is an acronym for Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth-class.
