WALL-E

What's The Story?
After mankind abandons its trashed home planet, one garbage-collecting robot spends seven centuries cleaning up the mess. Over the years he evolves a personality that is considerably warmer and fuzzier than his rusty exterior. So when a sleek scout-robot checks in on Earth, the lonely and eccentric WALL-E falls head over heels in love. His pursuit of his paramour becomes a spacefaring adventure that will leave you speechless. Seriously. After about an hour you may literally forget how to speak.
Three Good Reasons
  1. Guys like robots; gals like romance. This is a no brainer!

  2. So far, Pixar has struck gold 8 out of 8 times. WALL-E could be smash hit #9, or Pixar's first flop -- either way you'll be part of movie history. (With Oscar-winning Finding Nemo creator Andrew Stanton directing, bank on "hit.")

  3. Though WALL-E doesn't talk, per se, he'll have no trouble making himself understood. His "dialogue" is designed by Ben Burtt, who created the expressive electronic chatter of R2-D2.


Bet You Didn't Know
Think the movie's shots of a trashed Earth are pure science fiction? Maybe not. Imagine filling an entire football field six feet deep in trash. Okay, now, fill 81,999 more. Sound hard? The United States does it every year. That's just 4% of the world's population. Better get to work, WALL-E.
