WALL · E - The Last One Cleans Up the Earth (on movie posters WALL · E ) from 2008 is the ninth computer-animated feature film from Pixar Animation Studios and the Walt Disney Company . It ran in US cinemas on June 27, 2008. The German-language cinema release in Germany, Austria and German-speaking Switzerland was on September 25, 2008.
WALL · E is an acronym for Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth-Class (German: "Garbage folder and load lifter - Earth class " ).
action
In the distant future, pollution has made the earth uninhabitable due to increased mass consumption and the resulting littering . Humans therefore already had the earth centuries ago in several completely self-sufficient spaceships , u. a. the axiom of the supra-consumer group Buy n Large ( BNL ). An army of WALL · E garbage robots was left behind to clean up. A period of five years was actually set for this action, but in 2805, after 700 years of collecting and processing garbage, the protagonist WALL · E is the only still functional of these cleaning robots and the earth is still a desolate garbage dump. WALL · E has undergone further development over the centuries and developed its own awareness ; this goes so far that he is looking for spare parts for himself and adding special items that arouse his interest in his private collection. His only friend is a cockroach . From a copy of the film Hello, Dolly! he learns that it is the destiny of all highly developed living beings to fall in love.
One day WALL · E found a small plant in a hidden corner and added it to his collection. Soon after, a space transporter lands on Earth and exposes the EVE ( Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator ) robot . WALL · E falls in love with EVE, who initially shows no interest in him. She has the task of searching for organic life capable of photosynthesis on earth. She also senses this in the form of the little plant that WALL · E discovered. After she has found the plant, she places it in a compartment inside, deactivates itself and is picked up by the space transporter shortly afterwards. WALL · E clings to the outer hull of the ship and thus arrives at the spaceship Axiom , whose human passengers have developed into obese, degenerate beings after 700 years of automation, continuous media exposure and low gravity .
When the captain of the spaceship from EVE wants to receive the plant, it has disappeared. The autopilot of the axiom , Otto (in the original English AUTO), then sends EVE for repair. WALL · E believes EVE will be deactivated and tries to rescue it, which ends in a riot. After the captain has meanwhile found out WALL · It's origins and studied the records of previous life on Earth, he decides to fly the Axiom to Earth. But he is prevented from doing so by Otto, who had long since received the order never to return to earth, since the scientists and the government already in the year 2110, five years after the start of the action, believed that the earth would never become habitable again. For this reason Otto decided to get rid of the plant so that it does not become a reason to return to earth. But WALL · E and EVE manage to save the plant.
After a fight with Otto, the captain finally manages to deactivate him. EVE has now succeeded in placing the plant in the holodetector, which ultimately causes the Axiom to automatically set the course to earth. However, WALL · E has been badly damaged by Otto's attempt to disable the holodetector, and his last resort is Earth, which has the necessary spare parts.
Once on earth, EVE uses all available spare parts to repair WALL · E. WALL · E is then back to the "delivery status"; his "personality" seems to have been lost. Only after a loving touch by EVE does his memory and his developed being return.
The humans, together with the robots, begin to rebuild and recolonize the earth. In the credits you see how the earth becomes a garden and people's bodies normalize again, while WALL · E and EVE continue their existence together.

backgrounds
The film was directed by Andrew Stanton , who won an Oscar for Finding Nemo . Produced by Jim Morris from Lucasfilm and John Lasseter from Pixar (also Oscar winner for Finding Nemo ).
The voices of the robots were not spoken directly by actors as usual, but resampled by means of sound design by Ben Burtt . The speech synthesis software MacInTalk from Apple was used to generate the voice of the Otto on-board computer . The Apple chief designer Jonathan Ive was involved in the design of EVE . In addition, the relationship between Pixar and Apple becomes clear in the film through an old Apple iPod that WALL · E uses to play a video, as well as through the classic start tone of an Apple computer, which also sounds on WALL · E when it is electric Has completed the charging process via its built-in solar modules.
Andrew Stanton designed WALL · E before Toy Story , which was produced in 1995 . The question: what if humanity evacuates Earth and doesn't turn off the last robot? forms the basis. Pete Docter developed the film in 1995 within two months of Stanton telling him the story. But since he was unsure about telling a love story with machines, he decided to shoot Monster AG (2001) first .
Stanton designed WALL · E with the help of binoculars - he decided to create a leading actor who conveys his emotions without a mouth or nose and only with his eyes. According to Stanton's own statement, number 5 could - at least "unconsciously" - be alive! Impact on WALL-E have had.
The scenes on the Axiom in particular are peppered with quotes and references from science fiction classics such as Star Wars (1977), Ridley Scott's Alien (1979), and Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). In 2001 the on-board computer HAL 9000 , which turns against people and also has a visual similarity, is defeated; When the obese captain manages to walk on his own two feet, So Spoke Zarathustra by Richard Strauss sounds . The inclined position of the spaceship alludes to scenes from the disaster film The Poseidon's journey to hell (1972).
The alarm that sounds in the Axiom while WALL · E is being hunted is the Enterprise Series alarm sound.
The only real actor in the film with a speaking role is Fred Willard , who plays the President Shelby Forthright of Buy n Large . This is the first time an actor has appeared in a Pixar movie. Additional live actors appear in the company's commercials in the film.
The supporting film for this film is called Presto .
With a budget of $ 180 million, the film grossed over $ 530 million worldwide by the end of 2008.
The film is dedicated to Justin Wright, a Pixar employee who died in March 2008 at the age of 27. He had worked on the credits of Ratatouille and on the storyboards of WALL · E and Presto .
The Blu-ray and DVD versions contain the short film BURN · E , which tells the parallel story of a repair robot on board the Axiom . This can be seen in the main film in a supporting role.
Reviews
WALL · E was received mostly positively by the critics. A. O. Scott of the New York Times described the first 40 minutes of the film - which managed almost no language - as "a cinematic poem of so much esprit and beauty that its darker consequences only seep in after a while". Director and author Stanton used the medium of film to promote criticism of the consumer culture that is shaped by large companies.
New York Post columnist Kyle Smith commented on the dark side of the script in his contribution to the film: “I'm trying to recall a Disney cartoon that is as dark and cynical as this one. I can't think of any. ”The portrayal of people in the future as fat idiots is at the same time close to the visitors of Walt Disney World who passively consume entertainment in a sterile, artificial environment.
Todd McCarthy wrote in Variety on June 30, 2008 that WALL-E was "simple but resourceful." He pointed out that although the plot is rooted in an apocalypse, the tone and message are very optimistic: “Yes, the worst is yet to come, but humanity will always go back to its roots sooner or later. That's good to know."
Georg Seeßlen thinks that it is the lovingly ironic details "with which the everyday life of the eternal worker and his little joys are portrayed, at the same time a lonely child and a relic of an industrial era, because of which one would prefer to spend half an hour with Wall- E wanted to spend in the trash. "
The lexicon of international films judges: “A rousing, formally as well as content radical animated film, which in the first half creates its enchanting audiovisual adventure with almost no (human) dialogue. In the second half it focuses on action, tension and its ecological message, no less enthusiastically. "
