Wall-E, The Robot Who Falls In Love

It’s quite unusual to talk about a movie which is scheduled to be launched next week, especially since we had a pretty busy weekend with the release of “Get Smart”, “The Love Guru” or “Kitty Kitredge: An American Girl”. But “Wall E”, the latest flick coming from Pixar and Walt Disney, is not a usual movie.

Created by Andrew Stanton, the same man who directed the now famous “Finding Nemo”, “Wall-E” could be the next big animation movie.

But what or, better said, who is Wall-E? The name stands for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class and it/he is a robot, which has the mission to compact and dispose garbage.

However, Wall-E is not just an ordinary garbage machine; it is the last robot that survived on Earth after the humankind had flown away into the deep space from a dead planet suffocated by garbage and residues.

But in their rush to a better life, they forgot to unplug Wall-E. And Wall-E will follow the same daily routine of compacting and disposing garbage for the next seven hundred years.

But as the time passes by, Wall-E develops a personality.

And after 700 years of loneliness, Wall-E has completed its transformation form an “IT” to a “HE” or at least he has human-like behavior. Wall-E has even learned about love from old videos like “Hello Dolly”.

And his existence is about to change in an unexpected manner when a search space robot, egg-shaped, EVE, will land on Earth sent by the humans in search of life.

Wall-E falls in love with EVE, but their beautiful robot romance will soon turn into a space adventure after EVE comes to realize that Wall-E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet’s future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans.

Wall-E follows his newfound love into the space and the adventure is just about to start. Saying that Wall-E is just an animation movie is quite unfair, because the folks from Pixar have managed to create a true masterpiece in which the robots are brought to life to create a truly fun movie.

Even Andrew Stanton has stated that Wall-E was inspired by famous actors like Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin.

And, as Stanton also explained, even the question that inspired the movie, “What if mankind had to leave Earth and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off?” was the saddest thing he heard.

Wall E will make its big screen debut next Friday and I dare to say it will be one of the best movies launched this year. Until then, you can watch this trailer.
