'''''WALL-E''''', [[Pixar]]'s |
'''''WALL-E''''', [[Pixar]]'s ninth film, is a [[Science Fiction]] love story. |
||
Around seven hundred years in the future, humans abandon the [[Earth-That-Was|now-inhospitable Earth]] so it can be cleaned up by a small army of "Waste Allocation Load Lifter" robots ([[Fun with Acronyms|WALL-Es - the E stands for Earth]]) whilst they enjoy a five-year vacation cruise in space. The plan doesn't really work; seven centuries later, the last of those robots to still be running -- the titular WALL-E -- is still collecting junk and living with his pet cockroach. One day, WALL-E is going about his business as usual when a spaceship carrying a much more modern robot arrives to drop her off. Her name is EVE, and WALL-E is smitten at first sight. When the ship comes back and picks her up, he stows away. |
