WALL-E

Very cute robot cartoon, but not your typical cartoon with action and one-liners. Wall-E is the last of a fleet of mini garbage compacters who’ve been left to clean up the earth after all of the humans were evacuated to a space ship, 700 years prior. This movie definitely is sending a message about humans destroying the planet via consumption and waste. There is no dialogue, so to speak, until the last 3rd of the movie. Instead, we watch Wall-E the lonely robot explore through trash heaps that are larger than NYC skyscrapers, while he compacts the trash, and saves the little trinkets he finds interesting. Then it turns into a love story when Eva is sent to the polluted earth to looks for signs of vegetation. Still no dialogue, just really sweet scenes and a great soundtrack of classical and golden oldies. The movie goes further to show how humans became lazier and lazier to the point of forgetting how to stand or walk. I won’t give away anymore. It is a sweet robot love story with a poignant political agenda.
