BURN · E is an American computer-animated short film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and included as a bonus film on the DVD and Blu-ray Disc of WALL · E , released on February 5, 2009. The short film, directed by the Wall-E main animator Angus MacLane was the same time as WALL-E produced. The music of BURN-E was developed by JAC Redford composed and conducted that already with WALL-E participated.

The film is based on a character who was briefly seen in the main film when WALL · E and EVE flew around the Axiom spaceship, then entered through a door and locked a welding robot out of the ship. This character is a repair robot called BURN · E (Basic Utility Repair Nano Engineer), who hits his fists on the door and finally realizes that he is locked out and is now stuck outside the spaceship.

action

As WALL · E , holding onto the outside of EVE's spaceship, runs his hand through the rings of Saturn , one of the stones is deflected and a small lamp on the outside of the mother ship Axiom is destroyed. A repair robot named BURN · E then receives a replacement lamp from the supply robot SUPPLY · R to replace the broken one. After EVE's ship has landed on the Axiom , WALL · E and BURN · E wave at each other, causing the repair robot to fly the still loose lamp into space. He has to try again with a second lamp. Meanwhile, the GO · 4 safety robot places a plant from the earth that EVE brought with it into an escape capsule and sets it to “ self-destruct ”. When it explodes despite WALL · E's attempt to rescue it, BURN · E is startled and lets the lamp float away again. After SUPPLY · R angrily gave him the last lamp from the inventory, the installation succeeds. At the same time, WALL · E, who survived the explosion, is dancing through space with EVE. When they return, they accidentally lock BURN · E out.

However, when WALL · E and EVE are almost thrown through a garbage airlock into space, BURN · E sees his chance to return in the open airlock. But a WALL · A robot closes the entrance directly in front of BURN · E. Eventually he decides to burn a hole in the door with his welder and he returns to SUPPLY · R to turn on the new lamp. Meanwhile, the captain of the axiom and the ship's computer get into a fight in which the spaceship is tilted and BURN · E is thrown back outside and the lamp remains off. When the battle is over, the ship flies into hyperspace at maximum speed . The acceleration pushes BURN · E against a ship's wall, from which it can only detach when the spaceship lands on earth. There BURN · E finds the spaceship abandoned. With an escape pod, he travels to the planet after the robots and hits near SUPPLY · R. BURN · E finally manages to light up the lamp again, but shortly afterwards it is destroyed again by the hatch of its capsule. The repair robot faints when it needs repairs again. After the credits , SUPPLY · R tries to comfort the ailing BURN · E.

Emergence

The film overlaps with some scenes from WALL · E ; both films play parallel to each other.

Five months before the completion of WALL · E , production of BURN · E started. However, no changes were made to the plot of the main film to make the short film work. Nevertheless, in one scene by WALL · E , the replacement lamp that BURN · E installed had to be added later, as it was not originally shown in the film.

Director Agnus MacLane's short film BURN · E was based on some of his favorite science fiction films from the 1970s and 1980s , which were often famous for building spectacular sets on a budget. MacLane and his team have repeated many of the same principles in BURN · E. As an homage to this, the floor grille is based on similar floor grids as they were used in the films Outland - Planet of the Damned , Alien - The uncanny creature from a strange world and Aliens - The return . "ELV-426" is written on the elevator that BURN · E uses, which normally means that this is elevator number 426. The lettering is also an allusion to the Alien film series, which takes place on a planet called "LV-426".
