![]() ![]() WALL-E is fascinated with this new robot and is excited to see someone else besides himself for the first time in hundreds of years, and soon falls in love with her, wishing to hold her hand like he'd seen done in his favorite movie. Once the ship lands, it deposits EVE, a robot sent back to Earth to evaluate the soil to check for signs of ongoing photosynthesis, proof that life is sustainable again. He narrowly escapes by digging a hole into the ground to hide in. Once the red thing stops, he tries to grab it, but it turns out to be a light from a massive ship coming down on him. He follows, not noticing that there are several others behind him. One day after work, he finds a mysterious red dot that zips away from him. ![]() To keep himself going, he has taken to salvaging parts from his inoperative counterparts. He hides out from sandstorms and rain in his truck, spending his time sorting his collection, the pride of which is an old VHS copy of the musical Hello, Dolly!. Though he continues obeying his directive to compact trash, as he develops curiosity, he begins saving odds and ends that fascinate him. During this time, he befriends a cockroach (whom he names Hal). ![]() 62675) is still hard at work, blissfully unaware of the futility of his situation. But after 700 years, the incinerators and all but one WALL-E robot have failed. After all the humans leave Earth aboard giant spaceships, millions of WALL-E robots and a lesser amount of mobile incinerators are left behind to clean up the dirty planet. In the year 2110, rising toxicity levels make life unsustainable on Earth. The Macintosh computer chime was used to signify when WALL-E has fully recharged his battery. Burtt also used an automobile self-starter for when WALL♾ goes fast, and the sound of cars being wrecked at a demolition derby provided for WALL-E's compressing trash in his body. Sound designer, Ben Burtt saw a hand-cranked electrical generator while watching Island in the Sky, and bought an identical, unpacked device from 1950 on eBay to use for WALL♾ moving around. Ralph Eggleston noted this feature gave the animators more to work with and gave the robot a childlike quality. Stanton added a zoom lens to make WALL-E more sympathetic. The director was reminded of Buster Keaton and decided the robot would not need a nose or mouth. He "missed the entire inning" because he was distracted by them. WALL♾'s eyes were inspired by a pair of binoculars Stanton was given when watching the Oakland Athletics play against the Boston Red Sox. Stanton wanted WALL♾ to be a box and EVE to be like an egg. Simplicity was preferred in their performances as giving them too many movements would make them feel human. you almost can't stop yourself from finishing the sentence 'Oh, I think it likes me! I think it's hungry! I think it wants to go for a walk!'" He added, "We wanted the audience to believe they were witnessing a machine that has come to life." The animators visited recycling stations to study machinery, and also met robot designers, visited NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to study robots, watched a recording of a Mars rover, and borrowed a bomb detecting robot from the San Francisco Police Department. He found the latter idea "powerful" because it allowed the audience to project personalities onto the characters, as they do with babies and pets: "You're compelled. Stanton explained there are two types of robots in cinema: "human with metal skin", like the Tin Man, or "machine with function" like Luxo and R2. WALL♾ went undeveloped during the 1990s partly because Stanton and Pixar were not confident enough yet to have a feature-length film with a main character that behaved like Luxo Jr., the Pixar lamp or R2-D2 from Star Wars. īefore they turned their attention to other projects, Stanton and John Lasseter thought about having WALL♾ fall in love, as it was the necessary progression away from loneliness. Stanton also liked the imagery of stacked cubes of garbage. He is visited by a probe sent by the starship Axiom, a robot called EVE, with whom he falls in love and pursues across the galaxy.ĭirector, Andrew Stanton made WALL♾ as the idea was instantly understandable, and because it was a low-status menial job that made him sympathetic. ![]() In the film, he's a solitary robot on a future, uninhabitable, deserted Earth in 2805, left to clean up garbage. WALL♾ was created by director, Andrew Stanton, and writer, Jim Reardon. WALL♾ (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter: Earth-Class) is the main character of the 2008 Disney/ Pixar animated film of the same name. "Waste Allocation Load Lifter: Earth-Class" ![]()
