32:17 - Fun Fact: The filmmakers named the cockroach that WALL-E keeps as a pet "Hal", in reference to silent film producer Hal Roach (as well as being an additional reference to HAL 9000).
The captain is genuinely my favorite character. His first steps, his fascination with earth and history and life, and of course his quote "i dont *want* to survive, i wanna LIVE!"
This might be the first movie I've seen where Alex literally cannot bring himself to fully commit to the sexual humour. Wall-E is officially cute enough to break Alex
@@drakeredwingofficial I suspect she speaks more than just those 4, she probably did not get through ALL of them before hitting on the one WALL-e understood.
@ Speaking of Easter eggs… …if you listen closely to EVE’s bleeps and blips of frustration when she is scanning everywhere and finding nothing… at one point you may be surprised.
I like the thought of Wall-E having a glitch within his code that allows him to be more human. He takes care of not only himself, but the roach. He made himself a home & finds treasures, within the trash, to keep. We see that he wasn’t the only robot, but he didn’t just die because parts went bad. He learned to fix himself and still work, even after 700 years!
I love how the credits show society gradually returning to its former state, and the ending where Wall-E and Eve visit the tree, which turns out to be the same plant from the beginning of the movie, is a perfect full-circle moment.
Trivia note: In 1994, the 4 guys in charge of Pixar got together for lunch & brainstormed ideas for other films they could make if Toy Story 1 was a success. During that lunch, they came up with the ideas for Toy Story 2, A Bug's Life, Monster's Inc., Finding Nemo, & WALL-E. Well, WALL-E was the last of those 5 films made, 14 years after that lunch took place. Furthermore, 1 thing that I like about WALL-E that not enough people bring up is that if you isolate the parts with just WALL-E & EVE the story works, but if you isolate the parts with just the Captain & the humans the story also still works. It's 1 of the few Disney films that actually does a subplot that's just as interesting as the main plot.
Except Captain's plot is a straight rip-off from 2001: Space Odyssey, but alright, whatever. It's not easy to make Stanley Cubrick's movie good for kids
@@АлександрАнтипин-к6д being a rip-off nd touching the same subject are quite different things. By that logic you could say every single car racing game is the rip-off of Need for Speed. Or every shooter is just a CoD copy
His reaction to her holding his hand at the end. There are so many unsaid words packed into his shocked disbelieved "EVE!?" And Mo just ushering everyone away so they can have their moment in peace. 🤣 I absolutely love this movie. Always makes me shed a tear or two.
It blows my mind the way Alex can go from a pretty deep and interesting perspective about the lines on the ground and what that says about the society to making a sex joke within minutes of each other
Fun fact, Buzz Lightyear's batteries are made by the same fake company as is shown in Wall-e BNL (Buy n' Large) Also, in Cars 3, BNL is shown as one of the sponsors of the Piston Cup. BNL made the trash, the sold the trash, they tried created robots to clean up the trash, and they sent humans into space to get away from the trash. Their movies are connected through a shared universe, though across a massive time scale.
Saw an interesting video back in the day explaining the batteries are the energy captured from monsters Inc and when they switch to laughter it captured some of the human soul. Humans eventually discover monster and steal the same tech so toys come to life for toy story (also where you see sullys fur as a toilet seat cover) and when humans destroyed earth the cars became sentient in human absence, before they finally rusted out and died off 700 years later for wall-e
Ben Burt did the sound effects for this movie, the same man that did the sound effects for Star Wars, it's his voice he used to voice Wall-E. So the same man gave both Wall-E and R2D2 their voices. And the voice of the ships computer is Sigourney Weaver.
9 year old me didn't appreciate how good of a movie this is. Pixar had no reason to make a basically dialog-less film hit you in the feels like this lol
@@Atlessa I entirely agree with the sentiment, but not the wording. To say Pixar had no reason to make a good movie, kinda implies that kids are dumb and don't deserve more than sunshine-and-rainbows filler entertainment. The reason Pixar makes fantastic movies, is because kids and adults alike DO deserve good/meaningful/hard-hitting movies that make you think, or at the very least, sow seeds for later :)
@@SaltySeaCat369 Where did you get "pixar had no reason to make a good movie" from? That's neither what I said, nor implied. Not even close. The entire emphasis of my statement was on the "... hit you in the feels." part of pixar movies.
There’s a deleted scene of Wall-E meeting his older cousins the Wall-A bots, the giant robots in the trash dump, he makes them a smaller trash cube and it’s adorable check it out 😭 ❤️
E for Earth, A for Axiom. There's something to be said that the Wall-E's were so tiny and barely able to do their jobs without breaking down while the Wall-A's were big beefy well maintained machines. Shows that B&L didn't actually care about saving earth. Also that makes me wonder if there are other ships like the Axiom out there.
@@CanisMythsonI remember hearing that the other Wall-E robots didn't break down, they were defective. There was something wrong with them that caused them to short circuit suddenly. The Wall-E from this movie didn't succumb to that because he was already malfunctioning (the "malfunction" being his curiosity) so his circuits and programming were too changed for the normal malfunction to happen. I don't think the Wall-Es were purposefully meant to malfunction, but it's definitely a possibility There are ships other than the Axiom. The first video in this movie with real humans says the Axiom is the "jewel of the BNL fleet". So there are other ships, but they are probably smaller and don't have as many things to do (I doubt the smaller ones have a pool). I LIKE to think that when the Axiom returned to Earth, it sent a signal to the smaller ships and they ALL returned to Earth automatically
Here's a little detail most people don't notes: Wall E and EVE don't have elbows, yet they are still able to perform multible different emotes with their arms. Another thing. All the robots have very simple faces, but you are still able to tell what they are currently thinking and feeling. Bonus info: In Wall E PS3 videogame. Wall E goes on a rampage with EVE's gun. This is not a joke.
The sociological angle is good and all, but there's other themes at play. I like when the captain learns to love life instead of survival, just as Walle loved watching his movies and dancing and collecting. And what Walle loved most of all was sharing it with Eve, and loving her. The people learned to love life and especially to love sharing it with each other. The theme is curiosity and love and togetherness as the source of happiness and growth.
@CanisMythson I wouldn't say they're ALL right. What if I said Walle is about the fun fairground food called elephant ears? That's just not true. It's barely even true about the sociological point. The movie isn't about conformity. The only one adamant about staying the course and conformity was Auto, and it was clearly irrational. The moment they turned off the screens they all became non-conformists. The struggle against Auto and conformity is a very small part of this movie.
I'm convinced that RUclipsrs like you purposefully decided not to watch these childhood classics when you were a child, JUST so you could potentially watch it as your childhood dream job as a RUclipsr when you're older.
@@9.5.9.5 if they're all actually lying in some conspiracy, then they deserve props for keeping it up so well. sometimes the simplest answer is the most likely. no matter how boring it may be. the vast majority of reactors aren't faking it
I've had plenty of friends who have no clue about classic media that everybody loves. I haven't seen a bunch of "all-time greats" either. Everyone's seen different things, and you're kind of defeating the purpose of the movie by implying that everyone must have the same experiences...
The credits are absolutely worth watching! They dedicated the film to Justin Wright, an artist who worked on the film but died of a heart attack at only 27 before the film released. I believe he worked on some of the end credit animations. The credits finish the story out, I'd recommend watching them.
Part of the humans being fat is the long-term effects of low gravity. We rely on our own weight and the impact of moving to keep our bones strong, and long-term astronauts have to do physical therapy after months on the ISS. The Axiom was intended to be a 5-year trip, but if you look, it's been well over 700. Humans have physically evolved to where they can't really move much, which has led to them getting fatter over time. You can see it in the wall of captains.
When my favourite video store was still around I was there to rent a DVD and my favourite staffer there mentioned Wall•E in passing. I casually said I hadn't seen it yet, and she was shocked. Especially as she knew my taste in movies. She said "You're renting Wall•E today", and absolutely meant it. She got it off the shelf and did the transaction. I had no say in the matter. 🤣 The next day I thanked her. 😁
I did this with Boondock Saints. I talked it up so much and then it turned out we had none left in stock, so I ran across the street to my apartment, got my own copy, and brought it back over. Gave it to the customer (he was a regular) and sure enough he brought it back my next shift. I loved that job.
God, I remember just being out of the hospital from almost dying at 7y/o and seeing this movie in the theater was the first thing my mom and I did together after I left the hospital, I love this movie so much
The reason this is my favorite Pixar movie, is definitely because of how much of this movie is nonverbal. It adds to the realism of the characters, but you still understand everything that’s going on
29:10 the realization Eve had was that by completing the directive and bringing the Axiom back to earth, they'd go to the only place she could get spare parts to repair WALL-E.
I honestly wasn't really expecting Alex to have so much thoughtful and intelligent input on the deeper meanings in this movie, but I am so pleasantly surprised! Wall-E is top tier for sure **Editing to add that your input on this film makes me think that you would really enjoy Soul (2020)! It's one of Pixar's most amazing and underrated films imo. It takes you on a complex emotional and philosophical journey, exploring concepts of life, purpose, and death. It's so beautifully well done and thought provoking. I would love to see your reaction! ❤️
When this movie came out I had just adopted two kittens. When it got to the part of Wall-e chasing the laser I wanted nothing more than to run out of the theater and rush home to play with those two, cute, fuzzballs.
Fun fact the creator of Wall-E, Andrew Stanton made his director debut working on “Finding Nemo” also from what I researched the concept of Wall-E came to be with a lunch discussion about people’s views of humanity and the history of art.
WALL-E is truly one of the Pixar classics of all time. It has been in my childhood for 16 years since it came out in theatres. Ben Burtt did the sounds for WALL-E just like he did for Star Wars and Indiana Jones. He's one of the best sound designers of all time.
26:31 funny thing, in one of the deleted scenes there's one where Autopilot sees the messages from the BNL CEO/President in which it starts professional about Operation Clean-up and with enthusiasm about it, another message 15 years later (10 years past the planned cruise ship schedule to return home) and the CEO is a little concern that the operation isn't going as planned and there isn't much positive results but he's trying to looks professional about it, as well for some concerns about the weakening of the passenger's bones due to the lack of gravity, and another message 5 years later where activates code A113 in a desperate way after losing oxygen and not having enough from the tank that remains with a turbulent and toxic atmosphere outside with the last words "I wanna live!" before cutting out the last transmission. you can see that this wasn't just the easy choice for this, it was the only option left after failing Operation Clean-up.
29:35 I think Otto is not realy a villain here. He was told to keep the humans away from earth because they can not life there. After that message he never gets another one. So he still thinks that he is doing the right thing.
The best way to put it is that Otto is an antagonist, not a villain. He's just following his orders, his programming, he's not actively making these choices but instead just following his directive, just like how Eva was following her directive, or Mo, or any of the other robots. The only difference is that the other robots changed after meeting Wall-E, while Otto only saw Wall-E as something causing chaos on the ship from afar for most of the movie.
There's a fan theory that the cups contain recycled humans. Which kinda makes sense since we don't see any food production capability. My guess is ground up humans combined with an algae protein grown on the ship.
@@mushman3744 Good eye! However, it backs the OP's case. The only thing that can synthesize molecules complex enough to qualify as food is life, even if it's only fungal life (mushrooms, etc.). And unless everything they're eating came from 'shrooms, the only vast farm or ranch shown on that luxury liner... are the passengers! 🤣
One possible (and in my mind, likely) reason that the WALL-E who is the protagonist of this movie never completely broke down is because due to the quirk in his programming that gives him his distinctive (and awesome) personality as well as self-awareness, he is able to engage in self-preservation and repair himself using parts from other WALL-E units. Also, I think WALL-E basically just collects objects that he finds interesting. On the subject of cockroaches, are indeed known for being quite durable. And while I don't recall the exact amount of time off the top of my head, you are right that they can survive for some time without their heads. In fact, the main reason they do end up dying after losing their heads, is due to thirst. EVE was specifically sent to see if there was life on earth, which would indicate that the earth was once again capable of sustaining life and that humans could return. And you’re absolutely right about the social hierarchy. It’s definitely not a society that rewards critical thinking or deviation from the norm. It’s a very safe and intellectually sterile environment.
WALL-E is one of my favourite Pixar films, it's a social commentary on the downsides of consumerism that works on so many levels, and it has something for everybody.
Just cried my eyes out because I'm at the bottom of my anxiety depression trying to crawl up top and it is so hard to do it on my own, and then I happen to see this video and I just know that for at least the next 30 minutes Alex will make me laugh and forget and I will be a little bit more okay.
"Spirit" is also a movie where the protagonist doesnt speak....because he's a horse. It's such a deep and beautiful animated movie with amazing songs. For me it has the same feeling like Wall-E 😊
I love how even the main villain isn't the sort you'd normally see. Most villains are out to kill, injure or enslave anyone, kill especially in the case of robots or AI. But AUTO isnt any of that. It simply follows two basic directives: keep the humans safe, and dont go back to Earth. It only starts to (slightly) deviate from directive one, after directive two took precedence.
WALL-E is a masterpiece and I love that it contradicts one of the biggest things that society believes: You can't have love without s*x. Society has always said that a person can't be in love and never have s*x because since the majority of people do it, they think everyone should. But this movie is amazing in that it shows that there can be love without s*x because WALL-E and EVE fell in love and they are robots without genitalia. It's also a great movie about pollution and humans becoming lazier and lazier as technology advances. This movie shows us everything that is going to happen if we don't start taking better care of our planet, because it takes more than one person to change the world for the better.
Wall-E is up at the top for me. It's an adorable movie with one of the biggest underlying messages. And the fact that two standards emotionless things can develop more personality than a normal person speaks volumes.
i swear the end always gets me. as a small child i always cried when WALL-E forgot EVE and now im a full grown dude and ive matured and still cry at the end of this movie. luv the vid.
Every time I rewatch wall-E it’s just a joy makes me realize how beautiful our planet is and to experience all our planet has to offer “I don’t want to survive I want to live” sometimes we get lost in our day to day that we forget to LIVE
10:40 "Hes so fucking cute, god damn it!" You ever see something so cute you just want to squeeze it relentlessly? Or so cute you can only talk through your teeth while clenching your jaw. "SO FUCKING CUTE!"
I'm catching up on Alex's reacts lately and I swear, the editor comments crack me up. The "Editor's Note: Brother you ALWAYS say a stupid" will live in my head rent free for the next few days.
"Major kudos to Pixar for being able to make a roach cute" Truer words have never been spoken. I loathe those vile little critters, but in this movie, that one can stay! Just one of many reasons that I agree with the claim of best Pixar movie on the market, and that's truly saying something. Because, in line with your opening skepticism of that claim, it isn't like everything else they put out is crap.
WALL-E is peak animated cinema. One of the best animated movies ever made. Visuals, Soundtrack, Characters, Story-writing, everything is perfect. One of only 6 movies I have as a DVD and I watch it at least four times a year. Only a couple animated movies reach the same level of perfection as WALL-E.
This was my late brother’s favorite film. He was taken from us last summer, and this movie just hits different now. His favorite color was yellow too. 😢
31:18 This song is called _Also sprach Zarathustra,_ it's the main theme of _2001: A Space Odyssey._ It's the most famous movie theme in all of science fiction. But the real reason we hear it so much is that it's in the public domain - it was written in 1896! It was used as a placeholder song during the development of Space Odyssey, but they fell in love with it, and ended up using it instead of the main theme written by Alex North. They also discarded all of his other songs he wrote for the film, and used the placeholder songs for them too. He did not find out until he watched the movie at its premiere.
26:51 , I love this quote in German. It says ,,Ich möchte nicht Überleben, ich will leben!", what means, I don't want to surcive, I wont to live, only that survive is in German to survive life, but life and live are the same words here so it is really d3ep for me❤
What's interesting is that the Captain himself early on you can tell he's wanted to do more he hated that some of his job what little he had was still trying to be taken over by Auto/Otto. And at the end of the movie during the credits, you also see the message wasn't ironically 'technology is bad' not just with the Wall-E and Evea, but the fact that they were also using the tech they had try and fix Earth too.
speaking of thinking outside the box at 21:40, walles a box and this whole movie is about walle thinking about people other than itself also, while u was talking about surviving and living, in the captain photos, you can slowly see auto creeping closer and closer to the captain to signify its influence
My wife is named Eva, I chased her across this country to finally marry her after five years. We've been married since 2005. This movie killed me when he screams Eva
It’s funny that you see reason to give slack to the humans because of their “programming” by their social construct of the way things are and way to be. But A.U.T.O you thought of more readily as a villain despite also, more literally, being programmed. Not everyone can be a Wall-e. I like to think it’s because of how long he’s had to repair himself, and absorb the “parts of others” by salvaging from the artifacts of the human and robot pasts, making him aware of different paths and “directives” than his own.
Glad you finally got to watch this one, it's such an awesome example that sometimes in a movie, less is more. Less dialogue ended up being much more powerful because they took to time to flesh out the characters and let them emote.
If you watch the movie with subtitles you will notice that the robots do in fact say words. some examples: 7:10 "Who are you? Who are you?" 8:30 "Directive?" 11:08 "Whoah!" Also if you notice: Wall-E is the only robot still functioning on earth. A theory is that Wall-E has something wrong with him. All the other robots act robot-like until they meet Wall-E.. Whoever Wall-E interacts with becomes more human. And once Wall-E was back on earth and "fixed" he was a robot again.. It took a spark, or "shorting a circuit" to make him become Wall-E again
I think all the experiences Wall-e had and his programming was defective in way that he wanted to live and these combined gave him actual consciousness.
The order of Pixar definitely starts at number 1 with Wall-E. And the play on using art history to tell their story going forward in the closing credits... so so good.
I saw this in theaters and that ending had the kids screaming for Wall-E to wake up. They were DEVASTATED. When he woke up, all you could hear was clapping and “thank you Jesus”.
WALL-E is adorable. But the message in it is super important and humans should listen to it. If we don't start taking care of our home's it will one day look like this. I think so, we need to keep this place, Green.
Definitely need to watch the credits. The art work during them actually tells the story of how they re-civilized themselves after returning to earth. It's that extra bit of plot closure that's so rewarding.
WALL-E is one of the best, if not the best, animated films alongside Up, Your Name, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Inside Out, and Spirited Away. 🙂
Otto is definitely like HAL... You should watch 2001: A Space Odyssey if you haven't yet... Also, I think we're all ready for more Clone Wars too 😅 Btw... Ben Burt, who did sound design for Star Wars, had a big hand in this film
One of most intriguing parts of this movie is for the entire beginning of the film it’s essentially a silent film (zero dialogue/spoken word) yet everything is conveyed so clearly and you immediately fall in love and understand the story of WallE
It actually makes sense that this population would become very unhealty. Recycled food, meaning poo, would be very difficult to clean, reconfigure,flavor, and add nutrients that would yeild anything but a carb filled goo. They have no crops, no animals. Just recyled poo and people.
Problem with lines on the ground? You mean like roads and streets? With their own lines, lanes and direction of travel for those upon them? This movie is just mimicking modern reality with a technological advancement to it. We also have a path laid out for us. Even when reaching adulthood and having supposed freedom, the lines to follow are already drawn. Work to pay bills and taxes until they allow you to "retire." And only a few can/will deviate from that line.
23:32 First Human to Human Contact in 700 YEARS! 26:54 "I don't want to Survive. I WANT TO LIVE!" Tell him again Captain!. 31:16 First Human Steps in 700 YEARS! 34:17 Congratulations. Pixar has made you Care for a ROBOT. 👏
They were on the ship 700 years. Personally, I doubt that they hadn't walked or had contact for that long. Maybe 100-200 years, but that's obviously speculation
Originally the chairs were “for grandma”. But over time everyone just started using them. Especially as they lost bone density and such from low gravity

There’s a deleted scene of Wall-E meeting his older cousins the Wall-A bots, the giant robots in the trash dump, he makes them a smaller trash cube and it’s adorable check it out 😭 ❤️
E for Earth, A for Axiom. There's something to be said that the Wall-E's were so tiny and barely able to do their jobs without breaking down while the Wall-A's were big beefy well maintained machines. Shows that B&L didn't actually care about saving earth. Also that makes me wonder if there are other ships like the Axiom out there.
@@CanisMythsonI remember hearing that the other Wall-E robots didn't break down, they were defective. There was something wrong with them that caused them to short circuit suddenly. The Wall-E from this movie didn't succumb to that because he was already malfunctioning (the "malfunction" being his curiosity) so his circuits and programming were too changed for the normal malfunction to happen. I don't think the Wall-Es were purposefully meant to malfunction, but it's definitely a possibility
There are ships other than the Axiom. The first video in this movie with real humans says the Axiom is the "jewel of the BNL fleet". So there are other ships, but they are probably smaller and don't have as many things to do (I doubt the smaller ones have a pool). I LIKE to think that when the Axiom returned to Earth, it sent a signal to the smaller ships and they ALL returned to Earth automatically
@@marieporter9488 i heard somewhere that the reason the other WALL-E's were destroyed was because of the dust storms shown at the beginning
29:15 "remember on earth when i broke my eye and fixed it? I have the parts on earth"
“when YOU broke my eye”** 😂
@@wavehellhole yes yes. That
Here's a little detail most people don't notes: Wall E and EVE don't have elbows, yet they are still able to perform multible different emotes with their arms.
Another thing.
All the robots have very simple faces, but you are still able to tell what they are currently thinking and feeling.
Bonus info: In Wall E PS3 videogame. Wall E goes on a rampage with EVE's gun.
This is not a joke.
The sociological angle is good and all, but there's other themes at play. I like when the captain learns to love life instead of survival, just as Walle loved watching his movies and dancing and collecting. And what Walle loved most of all was sharing it with Eve, and loving her. The people learned to love life and especially to love sharing it with each other. The theme is curiosity and love and togetherness as the source of happiness and growth.
I think that's the great thing about art, different people will see different things, have different perspectives, and they're all right.
@CanisMythson I wouldn't say they're ALL right. What if I said Walle is about the fun fairground food called elephant ears? That's just not true. It's barely even true about the sociological point. The movie isn't about conformity. The only one adamant about staying the course and conformity was Auto, and it was clearly irrational. The moment they turned off the screens they all became non-conformists. The struggle against Auto and conformity is a very small part of this movie.
Yes, they rediscover their own humanity

I've had plenty of friends who have no clue about classic media that everybody loves. I haven't seen a bunch of "all-time greats" either. Everyone's seen different things, and you're kind of defeating the purpose of the movie by implying that everyone must have the same experiences...
The credits are absolutely worth watching! They dedicated the film to Justin Wright, an artist who worked on the film but died of a heart attack at only 27 before the film released. I believe he worked on some of the end credit animations. The credits finish the story out, I'd recommend watching them.
My childhood movie. Still remains undefeated

Tf you saying right now igga@@DeliriousD-class
Facts bro
Top tier and aged like a fine wine
Part of the humans being fat is the long-term effects of low gravity. We rely on our own weight and the impact of moving to keep our bones strong, and long-term astronauts have to do physical therapy after months on the ISS. The Axiom was intended to be a 5-year trip, but if you look, it's been well over 700. Humans have physically evolved to where they can't really move much, which has led to them getting fatter over time. You can see it in the wall of captains.
When my favourite video store was still around I was there to rent a DVD and my favourite staffer there mentioned Wall•E in passing. I casually said I hadn't seen it yet, and she was shocked. Especially as she knew my taste in movies. She said "You're renting Wall•E today", and absolutely meant it. She got it off the shelf and did the transaction. I had no say in the matter. 🤣 The next day I thanked her. 😁
Why was i thinking this was going to end with you saying you dated them or something like that?😂😅
Damn I miss video rentals.
I did this with Boondock Saints. I talked it up so much and then it turned out we had none left in stock, so I ran across the street to my apartment, got my own copy, and brought it back over. Gave it to the customer (he was a regular) and sure enough he brought it back my next shift. I loved that job.
God, I remember just being out of the hospital from almost dying at 7y/o and seeing this movie in the theater was the first thing my mom and I did together after I left the hospital, I love this movie so much
I know right Wall-E is like my favourite movie when I was a child.
The reason this is my favorite Pixar movie, is definitely because of how much of this movie is nonverbal. It adds to the realism of the characters, but you still understand everything that’s going on
29:10 the realization Eve had was that by completing the directive and bringing the Axiom back to earth, they'd go to the only place she could get spare parts to repair WALL-E.
I honestly wasn't really expecting Alex to have so much thoughtful and intelligent input on the deeper meanings in this movie, but I am so pleasantly surprised! Wall-E is top tier for sure
**Editing to add that your input on this film makes me think that you would really enjoy Soul (2020)! It's one of Pixar's most amazing and underrated films imo. It takes you on a complex emotional and philosophical journey, exploring concepts of life, purpose, and death. It's so beautifully well done and thought provoking. I would love to see your reaction! ❤️
In Galaxy Quest, Sigourney Weaver's character repeated the computer. In WALL-E, Sigourney Weaver voiced the computer.
When this movie came out I had just adopted two kittens. When it got to the part of Wall-e chasing the laser I wanted nothing more than to run out of the theater and rush home to play with those two, cute, fuzzballs.
Fun fact the creator of Wall-E, Andrew Stanton made his director debut working on “Finding Nemo” also from what I researched the concept of Wall-E came to be with a lunch discussion about people’s views of humanity and the history of art.
One of the cutest romance stories ever! I love WALL-E! 😍💖
Never actually heard it be referred to as a romance story before but yeah, very true
I wish for this kind of romance one day…
If you love the lack of dialogue you should watch Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. It's such a beautiful movie with an amazing soundtrack
WALL-E is truly one of the Pixar classics of all time. It has been in my childhood for 16 years since it came out in theatres.
Ben Burtt did the sounds for WALL-E just like he did for Star Wars and Indiana Jones. He's one of the best sound designers of all time.
1:06 “lord please bless this little bitch” is what i think every time alex reacts to a horror movie
34:35 sounds so weird out of context
26:31 funny thing, in one of the deleted scenes there's one where Autopilot sees the messages from the BNL CEO/President in which it starts professional about Operation Clean-up and with enthusiasm about it, another message 15 years later (10 years past the planned cruise ship schedule to return home) and the CEO is a little concern that the operation isn't going as planned and there isn't much positive results but he's trying to looks professional about it, as well for some concerns about the weakening of the passenger's bones due to the lack of gravity, and another message 5 years later where activates code A113 in a desperate way after losing oxygen and not having enough from the tank that remains with a turbulent and toxic atmosphere outside with the last words "I wanna live!" before cutting out the last transmission.
you can see that this wasn't just the easy choice for this, it was the only option left after failing Operation Clean-up.
29:35 I think Otto is not realy a villain here. He was told to keep the humans away from earth because they can not life there. After that message he never gets another one. So he still thinks that he is doing the right thing.
Yeah. Its kind of like Chef Skinner. Both villains are technically right from their perspectives.
The best way to put it is that Otto is an antagonist, not a villain. He's just following his orders, his programming, he's not actively making these choices but instead just following his directive, just like how Eva was following her directive, or Mo, or any of the other robots. The only difference is that the other robots changed after meeting Wall-E, while Otto only saw Wall-E as something causing chaos on the ship from afar for most of the movie.
There's a fan theory that the cups contain recycled humans. Which kinda makes sense since we don't see any food production capability. My guess is ground up humans combined with an algae protein grown on the ship.
You've just reverse-engineered the plot of Soylent Green.... 🤣
One of the systems the captain checks is a "regenerative food buffet" so it's likely they just found a way to synthesise food
Can't unsee this now 😢
@@mushman3744 Good eye! However, it backs the OP's case. The only thing that can synthesize molecules complex enough to qualify as food is life, even if it's only fungal life (mushrooms, etc.). And unless everything they're eating came from 'shrooms, the only vast farm or ranch shown on that luxury liner... are the passengers! 🤣
Mat pat devised that theory
Hes wrong about anything other than fnaf
It should be a law that everybody must watch Wall-E at least ONCE in their life
Twice*
Once as a kid, once as an adult. 😂😂
One possible (and in my mind, likely) reason that the WALL-E who is the protagonist of this movie never completely broke down is because due to the quirk in his programming that gives him his distinctive (and awesome) personality as well as self-awareness, he is able to engage in self-preservation and repair himself using parts from other WALL-E units. Also, I think WALL-E basically just collects objects that he finds interesting. On the subject of cockroaches, are indeed known for being quite durable. And while I don't recall the exact amount of time off the top of my head, you are right that they can survive for some time without their heads. In fact, the main reason they do end up dying after losing their heads, is due to thirst. EVE was specifically sent to see if there was life on earth, which would indicate that the earth was once again capable of sustaining life and that humans could return. And you’re absolutely right about the social hierarchy. It’s definitely not a society that rewards critical thinking or deviation from the norm. It’s a very safe and intellectually sterile environment.

It's ok to cry Alex, I did 😂
WALL-E is one of my favourite Pixar films, it's a social commentary on the downsides of consumerism that works on so many levels, and it has something for everybody.
Just cried my eyes out because I'm at the bottom of my anxiety depression trying to crawl up top and it is so hard to do it on my own, and then I happen to see this video and I just know that for at least the next 30 minutes Alex will make me laugh and forget and I will be a little bit more okay.
This movie is absolutely brilliant. You'd think it's just about a cute little robot, but it's actually speaking to the Human condition on top of it.
Please watch through the credits! The evolution of art style and life progressing is amazing.
"Spirit" is also a movie where the protagonist doesnt speak....because he's a horse. It's such a deep and beautiful animated movie with amazing songs. For me it has the same feeling like Wall-E 😊
Lmao I was killing myself watching Alex lose his shit at the bull the humans got up to... to avoid getting up from their chairs.
WALL-E screaming sounds and the sounds he makes are hilarious he's funny.
I love how even the main villain isn't the sort you'd normally see. Most villains are out to kill, injure or enslave anyone, kill especially in the case of robots or AI.
But AUTO isnt any of that. It simply follows two basic directives: keep the humans safe, and dont go back to Earth.
It only starts to (slightly) deviate from directive one, after directive two took precedence.
And Auto is the only robot with an actual robot voice. They used Apple’s new (at the time) text to voice.
Wall-e definetely has a prominent attribute that makes someone cute - big ass eyes. And a spark in them
WALL-E is a masterpiece and I love that it contradicts one of the biggest things that society believes: You can't have love without s*x. Society has always said that a person can't be in love and never have s*x because since the majority of people do it, they think everyone should. But this movie is amazing in that it shows that there can be love without s*x because WALL-E and EVE fell in love and they are robots without genitalia. It's also a great movie about pollution and humans becoming lazier and lazier as technology advances. This movie shows us everything that is going to happen if we don't start taking better care of our planet, because it takes more than one person to change the world for the better.
Wall-E is up at the top for me. It's an adorable movie with one of the biggest underlying messages. And the fact that two standards emotionless things can develop more personality than a normal person speaks volumes.
i swear the end always gets me. as a small child i always cried when WALL-E forgot EVE and now im a full grown dude and ive matured and still cry at the end of this movie. luv the vid.
I own a remote control Wall-E and I'm proud of it! That's how much I love this film!
The question is, how impossible is it to make it fold up on a scale of Impossible to physics destroying?
The Lego Wall•E is precious too✨
Every time I rewatch wall-E it’s just a joy makes me realize how beautiful our planet is and to experience all our planet has to offer “I don’t want to survive I want to live” sometimes we get lost in our day to day that we forget to LIVE
10:40 "Hes so fucking cute, god damn it!" You ever see something so cute you just want to squeeze it relentlessly? Or so cute you can only talk through your teeth while clenching your jaw. "SO FUCKING CUTE!"
I'm catching up on Alex's reacts lately and I swear, the editor comments crack me up. The "Editor's Note: Brother you ALWAYS say a stupid" will live in my head rent free for the next few days.
"Major kudos to Pixar for being able to make a roach cute"
Truer words have never been spoken. I loathe those vile little critters, but in this movie, that one can stay!
Just one of many reasons that I agree with the claim of best Pixar movie on the market, and that's truly saying something.
Because, in line with your opening skepticism of that claim, it isn't like everything else they put out is crap.
WALL-E is peak animated cinema. One of the best animated movies ever made. Visuals, Soundtrack, Characters, Story-writing, everything is perfect. One of only 6 movies I have as a DVD and I watch it at least four times a year. Only a couple animated movies reach the same level of perfection as WALL-E.
This was my late brother’s favorite film. He was taken from us last summer, and this movie just hits different now. His favorite color was yellow too. 😢
I’m sorry for your loss man, best wishes to you and your loved ones🫶
31:18 This song is called _Also sprach Zarathustra,_ it's the main theme of _2001: A Space Odyssey._ It's the most famous movie theme in all of science fiction.
But the real reason we hear it so much is that it's in the public domain - it was written in 1896!
It was used as a placeholder song during the development of Space Odyssey, but they fell in love with it, and ended up using it instead of the main theme written by Alex North. They also discarded all of his other songs he wrote for the film, and used the placeholder songs for them too.
He did not find out until he watched the movie at its premiere.
26:51 , I love this quote in German. It says ,,Ich möchte nicht Überleben, ich will leben!", what means, I don't want to surcive, I wont to live, only that survive is in German to survive life, but life and live are the same words here so it is really d3ep for me❤
What's interesting is that the Captain himself early on you can tell he's wanted to do more he hated that some of his job what little he had was still trying to be taken over by Auto/Otto. And at the end of the movie during the credits, you also see the message wasn't ironically 'technology is bad' not just with the Wall-E and Evea, but the fact that they were also using the tech they had try and fix Earth too.
speaking of thinking outside the box at 21:40, walles a box and this whole movie is about walle thinking about people other than itself
also, while u was talking about surviving and living, in the captain photos, you can slowly see auto creeping closer and closer to the captain to signify its influence
My wife is named Eva, I chased her across this country to finally marry her after five years. We've been married since 2005. This movie killed me when he screams Eva
0:13 WHY DOES HE HAVE A WELSH ACCENT 💀💀
Argentina has a sizeable welsh community, it’s lore-accurate
😂😂
BRO IS SO CLOSE TO SAYING POPTY PING
Absolutely laughed my ass off at it 🤣
To some of you that never asked this question : there was no animals (except the cockroach) or teens/kids (except babies) in the whole movie
It’s funny that you see reason to give slack to the humans because of their “programming” by their social construct of the way things are and way to be. But A.U.T.O you thought of more readily as a villain despite also, more literally, being programmed. Not everyone can be a Wall-e. I like to think it’s because of how long he’s had to repair himself, and absorb the “parts of others” by salvaging from the artifacts of the human and robot pasts, making him aware of different paths and “directives” than his own.
Glad you finally got to watch this one, it's such an awesome example that sometimes in a movie, less is more. Less dialogue ended up being much more powerful because they took to time to flesh out the characters and let them emote.
10:22 i think wall-E is the animated version of Alex and his wife, she's the spice and Alex the observer and caretaker. It's adorable :)
LOVE this movie. But you missed one of the best parts with the end credits sequence showing the humans repopulating the earth and rebuilding society!
If you watch the movie with subtitles you will notice that the robots do in fact say words. some examples:
7:10 "Who are you? Who are you?"
8:30 "Directive?"
11:08 "Whoah!"
Also if you notice: Wall-E is the only robot still functioning on earth. A theory is that Wall-E has something wrong with him. All the other robots act robot-like until they meet Wall-E.. Whoever Wall-E interacts with becomes more human.
And once Wall-E was back on earth and "fixed" he was a robot again.. It took a spark, or "shorting a circuit" to make him become Wall-E again
I think all the experiences Wall-e had and his programming was defective in way that he wanted to live and these combined gave him actual consciousness.
Our boy Alex has one switch with two moods: deep thoughts or gooch and Wall-E forced him into only deep thoughts. GOAT movie.
The order of Pixar definitely starts at number 1 with Wall-E. And the play on using art history to tell their story going forward in the closing credits... so so good.
I saw this in theaters and that ending had the kids screaming for Wall-E to wake up. They were DEVASTATED. When he woke up, all you could hear was clapping and “thank you Jesus”.
I think of the walle opening every time I go try to go to sleep, it helps so much...
Wall-E gives vibes of “me and the woman I pulled by being a cute idiot”
In this case the woman is Eve
WALL-E is adorable. But the message in it is super important and humans should listen to it. If we don't start taking care of our home's it will one day look like this. I think so, we need to keep this place, Green.
It's not enough to pay lip service though, notice all the solar and wind power kicking around in the opening.
for, sure, man that's, a pretty, solid point💀
SUPAH green 💚
Definitely need to watch the credits. The art work during them actually tells the story of how they re-civilized themselves after returning to earth. It's that extra bit of plot closure that's so rewarding.
WALL-E is one of the best, if not the best, animated films alongside Up, Your Name, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Inside Out, and Spirited Away. 🙂
in all reality, you cant exactly blame auto, he was only doing what he was programmed to do.
Otto is definitely like HAL... You should watch 2001: A Space Odyssey if you haven't yet... Also, I think we're all ready for more Clone Wars too 😅
Btw... Ben Burt, who did sound design for Star Wars, had a big hand in this film
One of most intriguing parts of this movie is for the entire beginning of the film it’s essentially a silent film (zero dialogue/spoken word) yet everything is conveyed so clearly and you immediately fall in love and understand the story of WallE
It actually makes sense that this population would become very unhealty. Recycled food, meaning poo, would be very difficult to clean, reconfigure,flavor, and add nutrients that would yeild anything but a carb filled goo. They have no crops, no animals. Just recyled poo and people.
Soylent Green!
2:01 You obviously haven’t met a Giant Madagascar Hissing Cockroach before. They are adorable.
Problem with lines on the ground? You mean like roads and streets? With their own lines, lanes and direction of travel for those upon them?
This movie is just mimicking modern reality with a technological advancement to it. We also have a path laid out for us. Even when reaching adulthood and having supposed freedom, the lines to follow are already drawn. Work to pay bills and taxes until they allow you to "retire." And only a few can/will deviate from that line.

They were on the ship 700 years. Personally, I doubt that they hadn't walked or had contact for that long. Maybe 100-200 years, but that's obviously speculation
Originally the chairs were “for grandma”. But over time everyone just started using them. Especially as they lost bone density and such from low gravity
