Wall-E
Saturday, July 12th, 2008
Pixar did a cleanup job with their latest release. Wall-E is arguably the most perfectly constructed animated film ever produced. 3D animation has come a long way since Pixar revolutionized the industry in 1996 with their first animated-feature, Toy Story.
Wall-E is the last remaining robot left behind by the humans, who left earth to escape the ever growing amount of trash being produced. After 700 lonely years of daily waste management, a guest in the form of Eve arrives. Eve is an attractively modern robot dispatched to Earth on a mission to investigate whether life is sustainable. A quirky but cute robot love story follows as Wall-E trails Eve back to the cruise-ship like space-station the humans reside luxuriously in.
Wall-E is an interesting reflection on how our society is evolving into complete laziness, relying on machines to make our lives easier. Humans are floating through life without identity or any decision and robots are the ones living and experiencing the adventure of life. Wall-E is tremendously successful film and is entertaining across all age groups.
