Fun fact: The first time I saw this movie, my friend had accidentally downloaded the Finnish version of the movie, it was literally half way through the movie before there was enough conversation for us to realize that they were conversing in a language we were SUPPOSED to understand; we thought it was just some feature of the movie.
that's amazing lol. i have often thought that the best bits of this movie are the non-verbal parts with just the robots and would have liked the entire movie to be like that.
In the early days of DVDs, if you put on foreign subtitles and then hit rewind, it will automatically dub into that language. I did that for the Scooby-Doo movie and the second half of the movie was in Spanish.
One of my favorite parts of this movie is how it handles the optimism. The people may be consumerist babies, but they aren't evil. And they aren't cowards. They just need to "see."
yes! I love how the movie chose to focus on human wonder and excitement at discovery and new knowledge. It would have been way too easy, and almost cliche, to make the humans on the ship the apathetic 'villians' of the story. I'm glad Pixar went the other way. It really elevates the story imo.
The Cinema Therapy channel did a commentary on this movie that I really liked. They saw in the story a contrast between complacency and curiosity. Throughout the movie, WALL-E displays endless and boundless curiosity about everything around him, while so many of the other characters are caught up in their routine, their pampered lives or their duty. In just about every case, it's WALL-E who shakes them out of that complacency, and gets them to really look at the world around them.
@@mrdarkshoei don’t know if they’re implying this about George and Simone, but if they are and it’s true, i fail to see how that is a bad thing? They’re obviously great close friends and i’m pretty sure George has a gf. I will never understand how some men think that being friends with woman who maybe rejected you ages ago is the worst fate possible? Like so what? Now you have a great friend, move the fuck along, you will meet other women during your life anyway. I will never understand this whole “friendzone” thing… like boo fucking hoo you have a friend now, how tragic.
It doesn’t even matter how little he understood about returning to Earth. The fact that he chose to do something rather than nothing gave the whole human race a second chance.
One of many simple, brilliant points of the movie is Wall-e literally sparks change and curiosity in everyone he meets. He meets them and awakens or reawakens childlike curiosity in them. The button pushing robot was a perfect example of that. Wall-e waves to it and it looks at its "hands" like it never considered using them for anything except pushing buttons and then waves back. In the end credits it becomes a seed planting robot. There is something very powerful about the effect Wall-e has on everyone.
First time i watched this movie was about 2 years after my brother passed, i had to kind of bottle up my grief to be strong for my parents who were breaking down bad. The entire sequence of wall-e basically dying and Eva bringing him back tore me up to the point of ugly sobbing for 4 hours straight and that was the first cry i had since his funeral
After watching the whole movie I got the impression that the passengers could still live on the ship and work towards renewing the Earth with the help of an army of robots. It's shocking what one can accomplish with inexhaustible free labor.
Indeed. Even though they'd returned to Earth, the next generation or two of people probably still spent the vast majority of their time on the ship. Slowly restoring the planet, and allowing their bodies to re-adapt.
My impression too was that, at least for the 1st few generations, people still spent the MAJORITY of their lives in the ship (regularly going OUT to "work the land") As the land around them began to de-toxified & "greened", they would similarly expand outwards more & more (spending less & less time IN the ship), creating settlements, UNTIL (in MY mind) the Ship became sort of a biblioteca/ Temple of Knowledge they would ONLY visit to LEARN some needed information. I don't know if they had UNLIMITED "free labor" or not. (I think they didn't) But I DO think that BOTH Robots AND Humanity worked tirelessly side-by-side, repairing the Earth! (Whereas BEFORE, humanity was ALREADY being lazy & "leaving it to the ROBOTS to fix" alone.)

This is the first reaction to Wall E I have seen where the beautiful end credits were acknowledged. The evolution of art is such a beautiful and overlooked part of this movie. Thanks, yall.
yes! Pixar has some AMAZING credits artwork. As an art student I feel so inspired whenever I watch their movies. They always blow me away with how creative and thoughtful they are. I think this and the Monster's Inc opening credits are my favourites 💚
And about a century of refining that art with countless films. I remember seeing some diagram from Disney animators that showed a perfect formula of how to draw every expression to illicit a desired response, the size and shape and locations of eyes in particular, limb lengths and locations, a whole host of features to use.
It's funny how George was like "Wall-e is a PC and Eva is made by Apple" yet when Wall-E charges up, the noise that plays was the old Mac boot up sound
Guess the humans of the future just use Mac only. Eve’s name I feel like is definitely also a subtle link to the Apple company given the name is famously from the garden of Eden story where Eve takes a bit from the forbidden fruit (which in pop culture is usually represented by an Apple)
@@Little1Cave me too 😢 i legit had to pause the video and get a tissue coz it made me tear up. can't believe that this movie can still do that to me all these years later!
It's funny because it's an ideal, that would never happen like this in real life. Selfless love, being a 'good person' and doing whatever the other partner needs no matter what doesn't have the same outcome as in the movies. You just become taken for granted.
And for those curious, the six Academy Awards WALL-E was nominated for were: Best Original Screenplay Best Original Score Best Original Song (the credits song “Down to Earth”) Best Sound Mixing Best Sound Editing Best Animated Feature (which it won) And I think the snubs of WALL-E and The Dark Knight for Best Picture was what led to the expansion of nominees from 5 to 10 the following year.
There was no "Best Animated Feature" category when Beauty and the Beast was in theaters. One of the Beauty and the Beast nominations was for Best Picture. The first time an animated feature was nominated for that award. Beauty and the Beast won Best Score and Best Original Song that year.
@@sarahhughes4437 Eh. Joker had 10 other nominations. It would’ve been weird if it wasn’t also up for Best Picture. Thankfully it only won the two awards that it actually deserved to win. A third Oscar would’ve been too much.
I cry every time I see this. Not for Wall-E or Eve, but the people on the ship. I have lived most of my life so seriously obese that I could not walk. Their lives were mine. I wrote a piece called, "My Wall-E-esque Life" after I watched this the first time. Now, having lost 250 lbs. (thanks to GLP-1s and my hard-ass work), I watched this with you for the first time being a "normal" size... a size where I can walk miles a day. I still cried.
I recall an interview where the composer of those songs said he had approved a normal royalty license for the songs to be used in this movie, and went to see the movie out of curiosity, expecting them to be used in some minor background thing. When he discovered that they’re a central element of the story, he was moved to tears.
Any time anyone says "X is meant for kids, its not meant to be good". Point them at this movie. 100% meant for kids, absolutely fantastic. Best of Pixar.
I think the end credits imply that the ship had genetic stores for multiple animals and plants, similar to the Horizon games Huh, thinking about it, it's actually very similar
The design differences between Wall-E and Eve make sense, Wall-E is like something you'd find on a construction site or on a scrap yard, robust and easy to repair, but Eve is a designed like a consumer-product. That's the same on the ship, the giant Wall-A's in the belly, never to be seen by the 'customers/passengers' versus all the bots that are around people who have that sleek look.
My kid is about to turn 17 and this was his favorite movie growing up. I happened across his WallE baby blanket yesterday and he's overjoyed to see it again. Such a wonderful kid, man!
They made an animated short, Burn-e, which follows the events from the perspective of another robot aboard the ship and which is absolutely hilarious. You owe it to yourselves to carve out 7 and a half minutes of your time to watch it.
One of the things that I love about this movie is that the first 40 minutes or so of the movie have no dialogue, and yet, you totally understand what's going on; they're showing, not telling.
I've watched countless reactions to this and I never realised until now about the credits sequence how it's going through the eras as evryone is illiterate and basically starting from ancient times again and having to re-develop technologies used by their ancestors that have been lost to time (starting from cave paintings being the first recorded pieces of art through to egypt, then ancient Greece, etc. until we reach almost modern times (18- early 1900s)). Great touch to cap off an amazing movie
Eve came looking for plantlife specifically. The gun's for any other hostile post apocalypse lifeforms that could turn up. Since plants don't really make sounds she wouldn't exactly risk destroying plants.
Very funny that Simone says that "all of the classic Disney animated films have songs." Yeah...that's because they're musicals. There's no law that says a musical has to be live-action! In addition to the explanation of WALL-E's name you read about in the trivia, the giant ones on the Axios are labeled WALL-A, for Axios. A really fascinating exploration of the idea that we can make a face out of anything is covered in the great book Understanding Comics, by Scott McCloud. The sound of WALL-E was both designed and voiced by famous sound designer Ben Burtt. Burtt is also the designer of R2-D2's robot "voice." You mentioned the rack-focus and camera movement in the movie. For this film, Pixar consulted the famous cinematographer Roger Deakins, who is famous for shooting most of the Coen Brothers' movies, including No Country For Old Men, to come in and discuss lighting effects in order to make the film's CGI camerawork and lighting design look more realistic. I think you eventually got there, but both the autopilot, and, presumably, GLADOS are actually based on HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey. One thing I'm surprised you never caught onto or at least never mentioned, especially given how quickly you picked up on it in Paul, is that Sigourney Weaver was the voice of the ship's computer.
I saw this movie five times in the theater, the most times I’ve ever seen any movie in the theater. Once with a friend, once with my niece, once for me, once with my parents, and another just for me. I even wrote Andrew Stanton a fan letter. This movie moved me very much.
The first section is so beautiful, drawing on silent cinema as well as the movie 'Silent Running'. From when it goes up into space it's a little generic, but the opening 30 minutes is golden.
This is a movie about Windows and Macintosh falling in love, showing that even two systems considered mortal enemies can be just as human as the rest of us. Romeo & Juliet, but instead of warring families, it's learning to set aside duty and directives in favor of love. But also not to the point that love supersedes your directive, as shown when EVE needed to complete her purpose in order to get WALL-E to Earth. A work-life balance, if you will.
This is my favorite Pixar movie, thank you for reacting to it. Also, John (one of the 3 voiced humans) was voice by John Ratzenberger, Cliff the mailman from Cheers, and the voice of the ship's computer is Sigourney Weaver.
Fun fact, Pixar actually consulted with Jony Ive (long-time head of Apple's design department) when designing Eve (Edit) Posted this before realizing they mention it in the video
The fact that the entire first third of the film is nearly silent is a true testament to the power of visual storytelling/world building when it's done with care. As well as to the masterfulness of the animators who conveyed all of Wall-e and Eve's thoughts, intentions and emotions with both the limited body articulation constraints of the individual robots and their eyes-only faces. Also, I love the idea that Wall-e genuinely improves the lives of everyone he comes in contact with through the power of kindness. Everyone he meets is better for having known him and for the briefest of moments you actually FEEL that the universe is a less bright place when his personality is reset to factory. This is Disney/Pixar when they're firing on all cylinders.
Plants breathe in C02 and exhale oxygen. Insects like the roach absorb oxygen through little holes on their abdomens called spiricles. The roach being alive implies oxygen levels high enough to keep him alive. As the camera pans over the hills as it zooms out at the end you can see many plants.
Thank you for watching the credits! A lot of people skip them and I think they're missing out. I read that they added it in because many people, like you, were worried that the humans weren't going to make it. So an optimistic ending was kind of needed. And moving through the different art styles is just such a cool way to do it. (Side note: I also think that yes, obviously it had to end well because it's a kid's movie. But there is some truth to the idea that no matter what, fixing the earth we have will always be easier to achieve and likely better for humans than trying to brute-force an alternative out in space somewhere.)
Sigourney Weaver is the voice of the Axiom's computer. Just a bit voice part in a movie for kids...and she still absolutely kills it. She's awesome. Also...Auto isn't evil. He's not an enemy of humankind. He had a job to do, and then he was given a specific directive intended to further that job. Protect and nurture humankind by keeping the Axiom going. And don't ever go back to Earth. Most of the robots on Axiom have been doing the same job for nearly 7 centuries. No change, no new experiences...no learning. Robots with aberrant behaviors were always sent to repair. By contrast, WALL-E had to constantly adapt to constantly changing conditions. Dust storms, the ever-reducing numbers of his kind, probably dealing with the fallout of the storms and having to rebuild piles and such. Making sure his bunker stays functional so he has somewhere to be safe...etc. Auto and the others didn't have that. Which is why, when WALL-E shows up, he radically changes their lives just by encountering them for a moment or two. He's the ultimate anomaly in their routines. A constructively disruptive influence. Unfortunately, Auto was under too much responsibility. And while his directive to protect and nurture humanity and the Axiom was vague enough that he could've gotten around it...the directive to NEVER RETURN TO EARTH...was simple and direct enough that he couldn't work around it. Either he obeyed it, or he disobeyed it. His other directives had big gray areas to work with. The "no return" directive had zero wiggle-room. And, since he CAN'T disobey it...this is how things ultimately went down. Most of the robots in the story have some degree of choice. Auto's choice was taken away from him.
Ben Burt did the sound design for this movie and it really shows his talent considering the first 20 or so minutes has zero dialogue while still telling a beautiful story. Ben Burt is the one who came up with the laser sounds from Star Wars and he remade them for this. He hung a metal slinky from a ladder with a weight angled near the bottom next to the microphone. He strikes a tuning fork to the bottom of the slinky and the high frequencies travel at a different speed then the low frequencies through the slinky giving that iconic blaster sound. He did a clinic for the solutions he came up with for the different sounds in this film. I highly recommend it if you're more interested.
15:56 While watching the scene where all the people are watching commercial after commercial, an ad tailored just for me popped up on You Tube interrupting my vegetative state. I think I need to go outside and take a long walk to rethink my daily activities.
I love how fascinated and involved the Captain becomes after he gets a taste for something REAL, something tangible and exciting. Probably something a lot of those Captain's looked forward too before taking up the job.
George: "That plant probably would have died in the time it took to travel from Earth to the ship." Me: "Oh, just wait until he releases it into the VACUUM OF SPACE." :) But that's ok, it's just a Pixar movie. lol
You guess are actually the first I have seen actually show the credits as well which is so awesome and I've seen like 20 different reactions to this movie
If I'm remembering correctly, there is a "baby mammal" face ratio where proportionally large eyes and smaller "button" nose, mouth, and ear features are common. Must be something about those proportions among at least humans that we're evolutionarily drawn to finding cute & wanting to care for.
The UFO Incident is an early James Earl Jones movie and may be the only movie in which he plays the lead character. If you wanted to do a tribute reaction, that would be a way to go. The whole movie is available on RUclips on a few different channels.
One of the bleakest views of the future of Humanity & the fate of the Earth .... happens to also be one of the most endearing, magical & humorous love stories ever told! Definitely one of Pixar's finest!
This was extremely magical in theatres, the score on the big surround sound and the fire extinguisher scene on the big screen... It was such a weirdly special film to see in a cinema, even if I was 18 at the time and felt a bit old to be in there with all the kids 😂
My take away about the end is that they also still have the ship there so they can gradually rebuild on "creative" mode without their survival really being at stake. Presumably the ship can still manufacture/produce all the food and water they need and they still have legions of robots and maintenance facilities to keep them operational.
The musical songs and video clips are from the film Hello Dolly! with Barbra Streissand, Walther Matthau, Michael Crawford and Louis Armstrong (yes THAT Louis Armstrong).
I love "The Incredibles" and "Toy Story 3", but I gotta say that this is is Pixar's best. Well, maybe TS3 is their best...hard to say for sure, they're both outstanding.
Inside Out to me is their very best, but that's not really a debate anyone can win! If someone was to say Monster's Inc I can see how they would justify that too...
The movie MIDWAY (1976) is newly available on Netflix. It is about a WWII naval battle between The US and Japan. It is star studded. From Henry Fonda (12 Angry Men) to a young Mr. Miyagi (Karate Kid), from Charlton Heston (Planet of the Apes) to a young Tom Selleck (Dentist boyfriend to Monica on Friends) James Coburn, Hal Holbrook and Robert Mitchum. Highly Recommended.
I like to think that this is an alternate Futurama timeline, where the garbage crisis of 2000 just grew to worldwide proportions because of corporate greed, and instead of New York "settling it" with a barge early on, we got humanity evacuating to space and WALL-E :D
I think the "adult" parts are for children too. Especially as they grow up and become more aware of the world around them, the seeds planted with this story should help them make sense of it all.
OMG the nerd spren shirt is fantastic!! Also, glad you liked the movie. You're totally right, I never thought about how silly it is for Eve to have a weapon like that if her directive is just "find plant".
One thing hardly anyone picks up on is that the movie begins with a zoom in on the planet earth and ends with a zoom out on the planet earth, and the planet looks just a little more blue on the ending zoom out than it does in the beginning, showing that while the planet is still absolutely filthy, it's beginning to move in the right direction.
Elissa Knight, who provided the voice of EVE, is not an actress but an employee of Pixar. The score from Thomas Newman is incredible in this film. It is Pixars all time, best, in my opinion.
"It’s Pixar so it's gonna have songs." The closest to a musical Pixar has ever done is Coco, and even that one wasn't a full blown musical (songs acting as dialogue), they were performances within the story.
Agreed. Coco counts as a musical, but it's unique in the fact that it's diagetic, meaning that all the songs in the film are actually performed in the world as opposed to just being used as a storytelling element.
having songs doesn't mean the movie is a musical... many Pixar movies famously and prominently feature music or a few songs... by Randy Newman or someone else...
@@sailormoon262 I wouldn't say "unique", since there are plenty of musicals like that: Cabaret (film version), New York New York, Purple Rain, The Bitter Suite, Once More with Feeling, Enchanted, etc...
Wall-E's power up sound is from Mac, not Windows. I don't think they were going for a PC vs Mac thing. Everyone in the creative industries just uses Macs.
@@captainchaos3667 I don't think it was ever supposed to be PC versus MAC but there's no world where any reasonable person doesn't think that Eve is based on an iPod
Except if you consider the people who make video games part of the "creative industries", which you probably should considering it's the creative industry that makes the most money nowadays. Even outside of them, there's some PC and Linux use, including at the highest level of creative industries like Hollywood animation studios. "Everyone" is a gross exaggeration even though Mac is generally recommended to aspiring artists in part because they're easier to use for tech novices.
Most animation & Visual Effects studios use PC workstations, including Disney and Pixar, it's usually stated towards the ends of most film credits. That's for the 3D part, the 2D pre-production from concept to previz can be done on any type of machine and it's usually up to any artist personal preference.
Wall e is probably the cutest thing ive ever seen! I have a wall e remote controlled romote and just loved him. I get teary eyed when wall e reset. Omg
I love that dance scene in space, it may be one of the most beautiful sequences in PIXAR's history. If you want a thing for your patreons, have you thought about having a March Madness type knock out tournament of animation sequences? The space dance from here, the lantern sequence from Tangled, the first flight with Hiccup in How To Train Your Dragon, The story of Ellie in Up, maybe the ice sequence in Titan AE, Be Our Guest from Beauty and the Beast....
Fun fact: Your eyes are the only organ that doesn’t grow as you age. This is why babies and children appear to have such big eyes and why we generally find anything resembling it so “cute.”
@@robertyeah2259 American Institute of Ophthalmology (Eye care) Question: Is it true that we are born with our eyeballs already full grown? Answer: No, it is not true that the eyeballs are fully grown at birth. The eyes undergo considerable growth especially during the first two years of life, with a second growth spurt occurring around puberty. The length of the eye of a newborn is about 16.5 mm, while that of a full grown adult is about 24 mm.
Human eyes are about 16.5 mm long at birth, and reach their final size, ~24 mm, at 21-24 years old. So most of their growth happens in utero, but they have additional growth spurts in the first 2 years, and around puberty.
I remember before this movie came out, people were not thinking it was going to be a good movie because they had heard that the bulk of the movie has like NO dialogue. I'm so glad everyone was proven wrong because this is one of Pixar's best films! It has such heart and emotion and its just so fun!

Best Animated Feature (which it won)
And I think the snubs of WALL-E and The Dark Knight for Best Picture was what led to the expansion of nominees from 5 to 10 the following year.
There was no "Best Animated Feature" category when Beauty and the Beast was in theaters. One of the Beauty and the Beast nominations was for Best Picture. The first time an animated feature was nominated for that award.
Beauty and the Beast won Best Score and Best Original Song that year.
which was a shame because it led to undeserving movies being nominated like joker, black panther, bohemian rhapsody, etc
"what led to the expansion of nominees from 5 to 10 the following year."
No, that was the recession.
@@tigerburn81 Where did you get that info?
@@sarahhughes4437 Eh. Joker had 10 other nominations. It would’ve been weird if it wasn’t also up for Best Picture. Thankfully it only won the two awards that it actually deserved to win. A third Oscar would’ve been too much.
I cry every time I see this. Not for Wall-E or Eve, but the people on the ship. I have lived most of my life so seriously obese that I could not walk. Their lives were mine. I wrote a piece called, "My Wall-E-esque Life" after I watched this the first time. Now, having lost 250 lbs. (thanks to GLP-1s and my hard-ass work), I watched this with you for the first time being a "normal" size... a size where I can walk miles a day. I still cried.
congrats, that's amazing! ❤
You’re an inspiration to others

Glad you lost the fat!
CONGRATS
The opening song is “Put on Your Sunday Clothes” from the musical “Hello, Dolly!” which is also the movie playing on wall-e’s videotape in his house
I recall an interview where the composer of those songs said he had approved a normal royalty license for the songs to be used in this movie, and went to see the movie out of curiosity, expecting them to be used in some minor background thing.
When he discovered that they’re a central element of the story, he was moved to tears.
Reminds me of fallout. The vintage era music is more than just an ambiance it’s a central thematic element as well.
34:10 No, that sound is not from Windows. It is the start sound of the early Mac computers. 😄
@@hoabinh555 modern Mac minis as well.
Any time anyone says "X is meant for kids, its not meant to be good". Point them at this movie.
100% meant for kids, absolutely fantastic. Best of Pixar.
I think the end credits imply that the ship had genetic stores for multiple animals and plants, similar to the Horizon games
Huh, thinking about it, it's actually very similar
It’s pretty similar yeah. Just instead of space it was genetic stores. And WALL·E doesn’t have the killer robot issue nearly as bad 😂
Now i understand why they made Aloy's face chubby
@@gergopiroska5749 Aloy’s face isn’t chubby bro. People use the same shitty screenshots all the time. She looks nothing like that
@@GBelmont87 yeah what? people are saying the weirdest things in the comments of this movie for some bizarre reason...
@@GBelmont87 i mean yeah
But its way chubbier than in the first game
I love how they were able to tell such a rich and full story with only 17 lines of Dialogue!
The design differences between Wall-E and Eve make sense, Wall-E is like something you'd find on a construction site or on a scrap yard, robust and easy to repair, but Eve is a designed like a consumer-product. That's the same on the ship, the giant Wall-A's in the belly, never to be seen by the 'customers/passengers' versus all the bots that are around people who have that sleek look.
My kid is about to turn 17 and this was his favorite movie growing up. I happened across his WallE baby blanket yesterday and he's overjoyed to see it again. Such a wonderful kid, man!
They made an animated short, Burn-e, which follows the events from the perspective of another robot aboard the ship and which is absolutely hilarious. You owe it to yourselves to carve out 7 and a half minutes of your time to watch it.
Oh my god, someone mentioned it! That poor robot tho
I had no idea that existed and just watched it, great little short! Thanks fellow youtuber!
One of the things that I love about this movie is that the first 40 minutes or so of the movie have no dialogue, and yet, you totally understand what's going on; they're showing, not telling.
I've watched countless reactions to this and I never realised until now about the credits sequence how it's going through the eras as evryone is illiterate and basically starting from ancient times again and having to re-develop technologies used by their ancestors that have been lost to time (starting from cave paintings being the first recorded pieces of art through to egypt, then ancient Greece, etc. until we reach almost modern times (18- early 1900s)). Great touch to cap off an amazing movie
Eve came looking for plantlife specifically. The gun's for any other hostile post apocalypse lifeforms that could turn up. Since plants don't really make sounds she wouldn't exactly risk destroying plants.
Tfw you realize Pixar made a solid love story out of 2 robots whose words were limited
5:59 Funny how George assumed Eve would be like an Apple and Wall-E like a PC, when infact Wall-E has the same sound as a MacBook starting up.
Very funny that Simone says that "all of the classic Disney animated films have songs." Yeah...that's because they're musicals. There's no law that says a musical has to be live-action!
In addition to the explanation of WALL-E's name you read about in the trivia, the giant ones on the Axios are labeled WALL-A, for Axios.
A really fascinating exploration of the idea that we can make a face out of anything is covered in the great book Understanding Comics, by Scott McCloud.
The sound of WALL-E was both designed and voiced by famous sound designer Ben Burtt. Burtt is also the designer of R2-D2's robot "voice."
You mentioned the rack-focus and camera movement in the movie. For this film, Pixar consulted the famous cinematographer Roger Deakins, who is famous for shooting most of the Coen Brothers' movies, including No Country For Old Men, to come in and discuss lighting effects in order to make the film's CGI camerawork and lighting design look more realistic.
I think you eventually got there, but both the autopilot, and, presumably, GLADOS are actually based on HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
One thing I'm surprised you never caught onto or at least never mentioned, especially given how quickly you picked up on it in Paul, is that Sigourney Weaver was the voice of the ship's computer.
Arguably Disney revived the movie musical industry with Little Mermaid.
Ohh! No wonder Wall.E's sounds reminded me of R2!
This is still by FAR the best Pixar film to date...
I love how genuinely distressed George looked through most of the movie's intro.
I saw this movie five times in the theater, the most times I’ve ever seen any movie in the theater. Once with a friend, once with my niece, once for me, once with my parents, and another just for me. I even wrote Andrew Stanton a fan letter. This movie moved me very much.
I really like that the robot is endearing the message of overcoming your programming into humans.
The beginning of this movie is fucking genius, almost no dialogue but gives you everything you need to know
The first section is so beautiful, drawing on silent cinema as well as the movie 'Silent Running'. From when it goes up into space it's a little generic, but the opening 30 minutes is golden.
I’ve never seen any reactors react to the credits and decipher it’s meaning before, thank you Cinebinge😊
One of my all time favorite rom-com. The screenplay is absolutely masterful....and the sound editing as well!
this is the perfect movie when youre hungover, as it starts off with soft colours and no talking and slowly re-introduces you to humanity
Wall-E will always be a 10/10 movie in my book. Such a masterpiece
This is a movie about Windows and Macintosh falling in love, showing that even two systems considered mortal enemies can be just as human as the rest of us. Romeo & Juliet, but instead of warring families, it's learning to set aside duty and directives in favor of love. But also not to the point that love supersedes your directive, as shown when EVE needed to complete her purpose in order to get WALL-E to Earth. A work-life balance, if you will.
This is my favorite Pixar movie, thank you for reacting to it. Also, John (one of the 3 voiced humans) was voice by John Ratzenberger, Cliff the mailman from Cheers, and the voice of the ship's computer is Sigourney Weaver.
Fun fact, Pixar actually consulted with Jony Ive (long-time head of Apple's design department) when designing Eve
(Edit) Posted this before realizing they mention it in the video
"It's an obese Titanic."
Or, a titanic Titanic.
The fact that the entire first third of the film is nearly silent is a true testament to the power of visual storytelling/world building when it's done with care. As well as to the masterfulness of the animators who conveyed all of Wall-e and Eve's thoughts, intentions and emotions with both the limited body articulation constraints of the individual robots and their eyes-only faces.
Also, I love the idea that Wall-e genuinely improves the lives of everyone he comes in contact with through the power of kindness. Everyone he meets is better for having known him and for the briefest of moments you actually FEEL that the universe is a less bright place when his personality is reset to factory.
This is Disney/Pixar when they're firing on all cylinders.
This is, simply, my very favorite Pixar movie.
Plants breathe in C02 and exhale oxygen. Insects like the roach absorb oxygen through little holes on their abdomens called spiricles. The roach being alive implies oxygen levels high enough to keep him alive. As the camera pans over the hills as it zooms out at the end you can see many plants.
You know the credits are good when reactors put them in the video ❤
All that history and animation beautifully showing our collective experience
"Oh, yes, of course. It's the reed. Let's hear it for Simone and her wacky sax."
who else read that wrong at first? 😉
@@Matt_Mosley1983 I did. My brain saw Yaketty Sax and now I'm off to watch some Benny Hill.
She has wacky sax? The more you know.
Thank you for watching the credits! A lot of people skip them and I think they're missing out. I read that they added it in because many people, like you, were worried that the humans weren't going to make it. So an optimistic ending was kind of needed. And moving through the different art styles is just such a cool way to do it.
(Side note: I also think that yes, obviously it had to end well because it's a kid's movie. But there is some truth to the idea that no matter what, fixing the earth we have will always be easier to achieve and likely better for humans than trying to brute-force an alternative out in space somewhere.)
Sigourney Weaver is the voice of the Axiom's computer. Just a bit voice part in a movie for kids...and she still absolutely kills it. She's awesome.
Also...Auto isn't evil. He's not an enemy of humankind. He had a job to do, and then he was given a specific directive intended to further that job. Protect and nurture humankind by keeping the Axiom going. And don't ever go back to Earth. Most of the robots on Axiom have been doing the same job for nearly 7 centuries. No change, no new experiences...no learning. Robots with aberrant behaviors were always sent to repair.
By contrast, WALL-E had to constantly adapt to constantly changing conditions. Dust storms, the ever-reducing numbers of his kind, probably dealing with the fallout of the storms and having to rebuild piles and such. Making sure his bunker stays functional so he has somewhere to be safe...etc. Auto and the others didn't have that. Which is why, when WALL-E shows up, he radically changes their lives just by encountering them for a moment or two. He's the ultimate anomaly in their routines. A constructively disruptive influence.
Unfortunately, Auto was under too much responsibility. And while his directive to protect and nurture humanity and the Axiom was vague enough that he could've gotten around it...the directive to NEVER RETURN TO EARTH...was simple and direct enough that he couldn't work around it. Either he obeyed it, or he disobeyed it. His other directives had big gray areas to work with. The "no return" directive had zero wiggle-room. And, since he CAN'T disobey it...this is how things ultimately went down. Most of the robots in the story have some degree of choice. Auto's choice was taken away from him.
Please watch "Short Circuit" (1986). It's with WALL-E's "Dad". 😉
Yes!! Loved that movie as a kid! Also "Batteries not included".
I just asked for that in the latest poll on Patreon. I really hope it gets added to their next comedy or sci-fi poll.
Need Input
Short circuit 2 is better though
@@meu02136While I agree, like Godfather 2, it helps if you watch the original first.
Ben Burt did the sound design for this movie and it really shows his talent considering the first 20 or so minutes has zero dialogue while still telling a beautiful story. Ben Burt is the one who came up with the laser sounds from Star Wars and he remade them for this. He hung a metal slinky from a ladder with a weight angled near the bottom next to the microphone. He strikes a tuning fork to the bottom of the slinky and the high frequencies travel at a different speed then the low frequencies through the slinky giving that iconic blaster sound. He did a clinic for the solutions he came up with for the different sounds in this film. I highly recommend it if you're more interested.
15:56 While watching the scene where all the people are watching commercial after commercial, an ad tailored just for me popped up on You Tube interrupting my vegetative state. I think I need to go outside and take a long walk to rethink my daily activities.
I love how fascinated and involved the Captain becomes after he gets a taste for something REAL, something tangible and exciting.
Probably something a lot of those Captain's looked forward too before taking up the job.
George: "That plant probably would have died in the time it took to travel from Earth to the ship."
Me: "Oh, just wait until he releases it into the VACUUM OF SPACE." :)
But that's ok, it's just a Pixar movie. lol
You guess are actually the first I have seen actually show the credits as well which is so awesome and I've seen like 20 different reactions to this movie
If I'm remembering correctly, there is a "baby mammal" face ratio where proportionally large eyes and smaller "button" nose, mouth, and ear features are common. Must be something about those proportions among at least humans that we're evolutionarily drawn to finding cute & wanting to care for.
The first song is from the 1969 movie Hello, Dolly. You should put that movie on the list to watch. With Walter Matthau and Barbara Streisand.
Wall-E has some dark implications, but I love how the message is hopeful.
The UFO Incident is an early James Earl Jones movie and may be the only movie in which he plays the lead character. If you wanted to do a tribute reaction, that would be a way to go. The whole movie is available on RUclips on a few different channels.
Ive been waiting for this reaction for years!!!! Thank you simone and george!!!!
The musical Wall e loves is an incredible Barbra Streisand film called Hello Dolly! Totally worth watching if you guys like musicals. So much fun!
One of the bleakest views of the future of Humanity & the fate of the Earth .... happens to also be one of the most endearing, magical & humorous love stories ever told! Definitely one of Pixar's finest!
This was extremely magical in theatres, the score on the big surround sound and the fire extinguisher scene on the big screen... It was such a weirdly special film to see in a cinema, even if I was 18 at the time and felt a bit old to be in there with all the kids 😂
I was in my mid-40s when I saw this movie and I could not believe how emotional I got watching it. This is probably my favorite animated movie ever.👍
My take away about the end is that they also still have the ship there so they can gradually rebuild on "creative" mode without their survival really being at stake. Presumably the ship can still manufacture/produce all the food and water they need and they still have legions of robots and maintenance facilities to keep them operational.
4:35 that's one of my all time favorite Homer Simpson personality quirks :D
"Dear Die Hard,
you rock"
"Especially when the guy fell down from the building.
P.S. do you know Mad Max?".
The musical songs and video clips are from the film Hello Dolly! with Barbra Streissand, Walther Matthau, Michael Crawford and Louis Armstrong (yes THAT Louis Armstrong).
I love "The Incredibles" and "Toy Story 3", but I gotta say that this is is Pixar's best. Well, maybe TS3 is their best...hard to say for sure, they're both outstanding.
@@CineRam I don’t think anything will ever top Pixar putting out Wall-E, Up and Toy Story 3 back-to-back-to-back. IMO their 3 best, right in a row
Inside Out to me is their very best, but that's not really a debate anyone can win! If someone was to say Monster's Inc I can see how they would justify that too...
yeah new Pixar movies just don't hit the same as that era did
Except Coco exists, and it blows all the others out of the water.
@@richwoodward2693facts
Imo …. The greatest Pixar movie ever with an argument for Toy Story. But, this is my favorite!
Spectacular thumbnail as ever!
A good follow up to this movie is the short, "Burn-E".
There was a Pixar short released with this movie called BURN-E, its definitely worth it
The movie MIDWAY (1976) is newly available on Netflix. It is about a WWII naval battle between The US and Japan. It is star studded. From Henry Fonda (12 Angry Men) to a young Mr. Miyagi (Karate Kid), from Charlton Heston (Planet of the Apes) to a young Tom Selleck (Dentist boyfriend to Monica on Friends) James Coburn, Hal Holbrook and Robert Mitchum. Highly Recommended.
I like to think that this is an alternate Futurama timeline, where the garbage crisis of 2000 just grew to worldwide proportions because of corporate greed, and instead of New York "settling it" with a barge early on, we got humanity evacuating to space and WALL-E :D
I think the "adult" parts are for children too. Especially as they grow up and become more aware of the world around them, the seeds planted with this story should help them make sense of it all.
OMG the nerd spren shirt is fantastic!!
Also, glad you liked the movie. You're totally right, I never thought about how silly it is for Eve to have a weapon like that if her directive is just "find plant".
It makes sense to me. They don't know what circumstances she's going to encounter. She might have to defend herself.
One thing hardly anyone picks up on is that the movie begins with a zoom in on the planet earth and ends with a zoom out on the planet earth, and the planet looks just a little more blue on the ending zoom out than it does in the beginning, showing that while the planet is still absolutely filthy, it's beginning to move in the right direction.
Elissa Knight, who provided the voice of EVE, is not an actress but an employee of Pixar. The score from Thomas Newman is incredible in this film. It is Pixars all time, best, in my opinion.
They even did a video game based on the movie and I remember I finished it like 10 times when I was 8-10
"It’s Pixar so it's gonna have songs."
The closest to a musical Pixar has ever done is Coco, and even that one wasn't a full blown musical (songs acting as dialogue), they were performances within the story.
Agreed. Coco counts as a musical, but it's unique in the fact that it's diagetic, meaning that all the songs in the film are actually performed in the world as opposed to just being used as a storytelling element.
having songs doesn't mean the movie is a musical... many Pixar movies famously and prominently feature music or a few songs... by Randy Newman or someone else...
@nooneofconsequence1251 if characters are singing, then it's a musical.
Fun fact - if there's no spoken dialogue I believe it's considered an opera.
@@sailormoon262 I wouldn't say "unique", since there are plenty of musicals like that: Cabaret (film version), New York New York, Purple Rain, The Bitter Suite, Once More with Feeling, Enchanted, etc...
No thumbnail has gotten me. Congratulations, I'm tearing up with laughter. On with the show.
Wall-E's power up sound is from Mac, not Windows. I don't think they were going for a PC vs Mac thing. Everyone in the creative industries just uses Macs.
Steve Jobs was CEO of Pixar, in between his terms at Apple. Seems like a subtle acknowledgement.
Pixar famously uses Linux.. their proprietary 3d software runs *only* on Linux.
@@captainchaos3667 I don't think it was ever supposed to be PC versus MAC but there's no world where any reasonable person doesn't think that Eve is based on an iPod
Except if you consider the people who make video games part of the "creative industries", which you probably should considering it's the creative industry that makes the most money nowadays. Even outside of them, there's some PC and Linux use, including at the highest level of creative industries like Hollywood animation studios. "Everyone" is a gross exaggeration even though Mac is generally recommended to aspiring artists in part because they're easier to use for tech novices.
Most animation & Visual Effects studios use PC workstations, including Disney and Pixar, it's usually stated towards the ends of most film credits.
That's for the 3D part, the 2D pre-production from concept to previz can be done on any type of machine and it's usually up to any artist personal preference.
And now to watch the short Burn-e, which takes place during the movie, but focusing on a different robot.
The Apple thing makes sense if you remember that Steve Jobs was one of the big three that made the founding of Pixar possible.
I can't remember things I never knew! Now I potentially know, though. Have to go verify first, of course. Thanks in advance for the knowledge.
My absolute favorite Pixar movie!
13:10 "That's my nightmare." "Drifting into space?" "Yeah."
Time to watch Gravity!
My thoughts exactly 😆
@@jlilley73I think they did one for Gravity already
Wall e is probably the cutest thing ive ever seen! I have a wall e remote controlled romote and just loved him. I get teary eyed when wall e reset. Omg
hockey season is starting soon. About time you react to "slap shot" staring paul newman
I love that dance scene in space, it may be one of the most beautiful sequences in PIXAR's history. If you want a thing for your patreons, have you thought about having a March Madness type knock out tournament of animation sequences? The space dance from here, the lantern sequence from Tangled, the first flight with Hiccup in How To Train Your Dragon, The story of Ellie in Up, maybe the ice sequence in Titan AE, Be Our Guest from Beauty and the Beast....
That may be your most cursed thumbnail to date.
Wall-E hands down the best Pixar movie ...possibly one of the best films ever.
Fun fact: Your eyes are the only organ that doesn’t grow as you age. This is why babies and children appear to have such big eyes and why we generally find anything resembling it so “cute.”
Fake fact
@@robertyeah2259 American Institute of Ophthalmology (Eye care)
Question:
Is it true that we are born with our eyeballs already full grown?
Answer:
No, it is not true that the eyeballs are fully grown at birth. The eyes undergo considerable growth especially during the first two years of life, with a second growth spurt occurring around puberty. The length of the eye of a newborn is about 16.5 mm, while that of a full grown adult is about 24 mm.
Not sure if "grow", but sure as heck they deform... as anyone with increasing myopia would tell you.
Human eyes are about 16.5 mm long at birth, and reach their final size, ~24 mm, at 21-24 years old. So most of their growth happens in utero, but they have additional growth spurts in the first 2 years, and around puberty.
Still, at birth, they are 3/4 of their final size.
I remember before this movie came out, people were not thinking it was going to be a good movie because they had heard that the bulk of the movie has like NO dialogue. I'm so glad everyone was proven wrong because this is one of Pixar's best films! It has such heart and emotion and its just so fun!
Yeah, the people on the ship are on social media 24/7 with no interpersonal relationships outside of their monitor.
so are some ppl here in the comment section apparently lol
This in my opinion is Pixar's masterpiece.
