Wall-E [DVD] [2008]

Product Information

It’s the twenty-ninth century, and humans have long since fled Earth for outer space, leaving WALL•E, the last functioning trash-compacting robot, to go about the work of cleaning up a pollution-choked planet, one piece of garbage at a time. After six years of championing DVD with wonderful two-disc editions, Pixar decided to start stiffing the format when Blu-ray was unveiled. That tradition is admired with clips of vintage animated shorts and films compared to the effects being generated by Jimmy MacDonald in a 1983 Disney studio piece. Academy Award®-winning sound designer Ben Burtt (the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises) provides the endearing voice of WALL•E, the little robot who never quits. Stanton acknowledged Silent Running as an influence because its silent robots were a forerunner to the likes of R2-D2, [41] and that the "hopeless romantic" Woody Allen also inspired WALL-E.

The robot would be the loneliest character Pixar had worked with, and the filmmakers crafted ways for him to perform the first act entirely in pantomime.

A reflective Stanton stated he was not disappointed the film was restricted to the Best Animated Film nomination because he was overwhelmed by the film's positive reception, and eventually "The line [between live-action and animation] is just getting so blurry that I think with each proceeding year, it's going to be tougher and tougher to say what's an animated movie and what's not an animated movie.
