Talk system, and was the overall ninth feature film produced by the company. It follows a trash compactor robot in a deserted world, left to clean a largely abandoned city. However, he is visited by a probe sent by the Axiom ship, whom he falls in love with and pursues across the galaxy. After directing Finding Nemo, Stanton felt Pixar had created believable simulations of underwater physics and was willing to direct a film set largely in space. WALL- E has minimal dialogue in its early sequences; many of the characters do not have voices, but instead communicate with body language and robotic sounds designed by Burtt. The film criticizes consumerism, corporatism, nostalgia, waste management, human environmental impact and concerns, obesity, and global catastrophic risk.

Following Pixar tradition, WALL- E was paired with a short film titled Presto for its theatrical release. WALL- E was released in the United States and Canada on June 2.

Bn. L has left behind WALL- E robot trash compactors to clean up; however, all have since stopped functioning, except one unit who has gained sentience and is able to stay active using parts from other units. One day, WALL- E discovers a healthy seedling, which he returns to his home. Later, an unmanned spaceship lands and deploys an EVE probe to scan the planet. WALL- E is infatuated with EVE, who is initially hostile but gradually befriends him. When WALL- E brings EVE to his trailer and shows her the plant, however, she suddenly takes the plant and goes into standby mode. WALL- E, confused, unsuccessfully tries to reactivate her.

The ship then returns to collect EVE, and with WALL- E clinging on, returns to its mothership, the starliner Axiom. The Axiom's passengers have become obese and feeble due to microgravity and reliance on an automated lifestyle, including the ship's current captain, Mc. Crea, who leaves the ship under the control of the robotic autopilot, AUTO. EVE is taken to the bridge, with WALL- E tagging along. Mc. Crea is unprepared for a positive probe response, but learns that placing EVE's plant in the ship's Holo- Detector for verification will trigger a hyperjump back to Earth so humanity can recolonize it.

However, AUTO orders his robotic assistant GO- 4 to steal the plant to prevent this from happening. With the plant missing, EVE is deemed faulty and taken to Diagnostics. WALL- E mistakes the procedure as torture, and in intervening accidentally frees a group of malfunctioning robots and causes both EVE and himself to be designated as rogue. Frustrated, EVE takes WALL- E to an escape pod to send him home, but they are interrupted when GO- 4 arrives with the plant, placing it in a pod set to self- destruct, which WALL- E enters just before it is jettisoned.

WALL- E escapes, saving the plant, and he and EVE reconcile and celebrate with a dance in space around the Axiom. EVE brings the plant back to Mc.

Crea, who watches EVE's recordings of Earth and concludes that they must return. However, AUTO refuses, revealing his own secret no- return directive A1. Bn. L autopilots after the corporation concluded years earlier that the planet could not be saved. He mutinies, tasering WALL- E and deactivating EVE and throwing them both down the garbage chute, then detaining Mc. Crea. EVE automatically reactivates and helps WALL- E bring the plant to the ship's Holo- Detector chamber; AUTO tries to close the chamber, crushing WALL- E when he struggles to keep it open, but Mc.

Crea is able to deactivate him and destroy GO- 4, while EVE inserts the plant to activate the hyperjump. Having arrived back on Earth, EVE repairs and reactivates WALL- E, but finds that his memory has been reset and his personality is gone. Heartbroken, EVE gives WALL- E a farewell kiss, which sparks his memory back to life and restores his original personality. WALL- E and EVE reunite as the humans and robots of the Axiom begin to restore Earth and its environment. Ben Burtt as WALL- E, the title character.

WALL- E, a robot who has developed sentience, and is the only robot of his kind shown to be still functioning on Earth. He is a small mobile compactor box with all- terrain treads, three- fingered shovel hands, binocular eyes, and retractable solar cells for power.

Although working diligently to fulfill his directive to clean up the garbage (all the while accompanied by his cockroach friend Hal and music playing from his on- board recorder) he is distracted by his curiosity, collecting trinkets of interest. He stores and displays these ! She has a glossy white egg- shaped body and blue LED eyes. She moves using antigravity technology and is equipped with scanners, specimen storage and a . Mc. Crea, the commanding pilot of the Axiom.

His duties as captain are daily routines, with the ship's autopilot handling all true command functions. Fred Willard as Shelby Forthright, the historical CEO of the Buy n Large Corporation, shown only in videos recorded around the time of the Axiom's initial launch. Constantly optimistic, Forthright proposed the evacuation plans, then to clean up and recolonize the planet. However, the corporation gave up after realizing how toxic Earth had become.

Forthright is the one of the few live action characters with a speaking role, the first in any Pixar film. John Ratzenberger and Kathy Najimy as John and Mary, respectively. John and Mary both live on the Axiom and are so dependent on their personal video screens and automatic services that they are oblivious to their surroundings, for instance not noticing that the ship features a giant swimming pool. However, they are brought out of their trances after separate encounters with WALL- E, eventually meeting face- to- face for the first time. Sigourney Weaver as the voice of the Axiom's computer.

Stanton joked about the role with Weaver, saying, . Unlike other robots in the film, AUTO is not influenced by WALL- E, but instead follows directive A1.

You got that? Toy Story was near completion and the writers brainstormed ideas for their next projects—A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc., and Finding Nemo—at this lunch. Stanton asked, . O'Bannon wrote his script in a manner Stanton found reminded him of haiku, where visual descriptions were done in continuous lines of a few words. Stanton wrote his robot dialogue conventionally, but placed them in brackets. Lasseter and Steve Jobs were impressed and officially began development. When WALL- E comes to the Axiom, he incites a Spartacus- style rebellion by the robots against the remnants of the human race, which were cruel alien Gels (completely devolved, gelatinous, boneless, legless, see- through, green creatures that resemble Jell- O). James Hicks, a physiologist, mentioned to Stanton the concept of atrophy and the effects prolonged weightlessness would have on humans living in space for an inordinately extended time period.

Stanton first decided to put a nose and ears on the Gels so the audience could recognize them. Eventually, fingers, legs, clothes, and other characteristics were added until they arrived at the concept of being fetus- like to allow the audience to see themselves in the characters.
