Plot Summary: What if mankind had to leave Earth, and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off?

Academy Award®-winning writer-director Andrew Stanton ("Finding Nemo") and the inventive storytellers and technical geniuses at Pixar Animation Studios ("The Incredibles," "Cars," "Ratatouille") transport moviegoers to a galaxy not so very far away for a new computer-animated cosmic comedy about a determined robot named WALL•E.

After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL•E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. 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 (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home). Meanwhile, WALL•E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen.


Joining WALL•E on his fantastic journey across a universe of never-before-imagined visions of the future, is a hilarious cast of characters including a pet cockroach, and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots.

Filled with surprises, action, humor and heart, "WALL•E" was written and directed by Andrew Stanton, produced by Jim Morris, co-produced by Lindsey Collins and features original and innovative sound design by Academy Award®-winner Ben Burtt ("Star Wars," "Indiana Jones," "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial").

Wall-E will hit theaters June 27, 2008.

Maybe I'm getting soft with age but I love everything I've seen about Wall-E. Really looking forward to it.

While I on the other hand just don't give a rats ass about WALL-E. It looks stupid & cliche'.

I'd rather see Pixar revisit the INCREDIBLES.

I think we'd all rather see a follow-up to The Incredibles but lets face it, unlike Disney, PIXAR is very deliberately trying NOT to crank out direct to DVD sequel after sequel (except for Toy Story 2) they're focusing each summer on a new original idea and script.
One thing most of us bitch about here at Mania is that Hollywood is creativly bankrupt (I agree) at least PIXAR is going with new features over sequels. I applaud this tactic, and it seems to be working for them. Their studio is relatively small and they dont have the manpower to set aside a group of animators for sequel projects.

Well they do have Toy Story 3 & Cars 2 lined up if I'm not mistaken. I think Wall-E is going to be nice, my concern is how the first half plays out if indeed it's set up like a silent comedy. Seeing from the previews that Wall-E is all alone, it might be just that.

I'll skip it and wait for dvd...That's unless I happen to be at the theaters already, only after paying to watch another movie and then decide to go in and watch it saving me the $10 and then only at that will I see it, so having said that, I might just enjoy it after all, knowing that I did not pay to watch it but would even feel better if someone payed me to watch it but what are the chances right?
Hiiiiiiii Hoooooooo Silllvvvveeerrrr Aaaawwwaaayyyyyy!

well MLAforcer, if thats your gameplan, it certainly sounds like you're doing your part to feed Hollywood's idea that all theater viewers like you want is more remakes and no original ideas. Thanks for speaking for the rest of us.

Pixar is 8 for 8, how many other studios can boast an impressive consecutive 8 picture run with ZERO box office failures?

You may not like them, but face it, they ARE on a serious roll.

as for Cars 2... yeah that struck me from left field too, I've heard about that and was wondering, hopefully the same year Cars 2 (2012) comes out, they'll have another original film too, same goes with Toy Story 3.

anyway... mlaforcer, I guess I'll see you in line for the Hellraiser remake, Friday the 13th Remake, the C.H.U.D. remake and the Nightmare on Elm Street remake because you know those will all be far superior to anything PIXAR puts out.

Sounds like a great premise, a classic quest for origins adventure told through the eyes of a robot. I just hope the script it true to the magnificent possibilities of the concept.

Wow wow Mckracken, take it easy...I'm sure you and those perfect coke snorting nostrils of yours will enjoy it all the same, weather or not I like it and that's all that matters, right? I going to give Pixar the benefit of the doubt based on there track record but what I have seen so far of this movie has not peaked any interest in me, although that may change if I get a hold of good word of mouth...By the way, I am all for remakes because any remake will not change the way I feel about the original, so take those freakishly over sized nostrils over to the mirror with all the coke and have a good old snorting time...

i'm excited to see this one.......i'm taking my soon to be 4 year old son to this......first movie for him....so i'm excited!

mckracken • Apr 23, 2008, 03:22pm •
as far as being excited about WALL-E.... I never got excited about CARS or Ratatullie either so I know how that goes... I skipped Ratatullie in theaters and I think I skipped CARS also but eventually ended up buying both of them on DVD.

as for my coke snorting nostrils, I'm definitly enjoying the hallucinations I'm getting from looking at YOUR avatar, so enjoy my big nose, ok?
