Another Masterpiece from Pixar. Pixar has created another character that you can believable and love. Wale-1 is a loser, left behind on the planet cleaning as it is the only think he ever learned.

What if mankind had to leave Earth, and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off? WALL-E  (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) spends every day doing what he was made for. But soon, he will discover what he was meant for. From Academy Award®-winning writer-director, Andrew Stanton, Disney-Pixar’s WALL-E is the heartfelt story of one robot’s comic adventures as he chases his dream across the galaxy.

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.

“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”).
