I still can't believe WallE wasnt everyone's best picture that year.. per your question, headcanon reads 'auto' is a true AI , aka. the entirety of human knowledge, science art etcetc.. auto connects to earth facilities, terraforming, recivilization.. like Zero Dawn .. Gen Axiom wouldn't have much to do, there isn't an economy to encourage work, auto will automate it all.. although, wallE2 .. auto says he's terra-forming, uh oh, he's built an army, enslaves what little numbers of humans are left.. can Plant and Captain stop Auto... again!?
I love that throughout the movie WALL-E has his eyes angled, so when EVE fixed him and the eyes were flat you KNEW something was wrong immediately, even before you really knew what.
I've wondered off & on why they included the live-action footage as well. The conclusion I've come to is that it connects the events of the film to the real world in the viewer's mind, making it harder to dismiss it as a purely fictional tale.
BnL is a megacorp government that wants to show the best face to the people, to animated people, the top of the top is Live-Action and which is an unreachable standard for animated cartoon characters (pixels vs cells). It is a facade of altruism that covers up BnL's hand in creating the extreme squalor that Earth is in.
Actually, they were planning on reanimating the scenes we see from Hello Dolly! but decided it would be too much work, so they probably figured that alone could justify adding more live action elements.
I love the line “I don’t want to survive, I want to live” or something like that from the captain. Surviving means nothing if you don’t do something with your life.
@@Anino_Makata and it fits with Friedrich’s… Auto wanted human survival because it knew that the meaning of the suffering was human’s choices, so it deprived them of making their own choices by maintaining control over them
@@algladyou There was a Short Circuit 3? I'm 99% sure this is the first I'm ever hearing of this. Including all the comments I've seen across RUclips mentioning the first, and second one.
Eve was voiced by a random Pixar employee as a placeholder/how-to for a hired VA, but they felt it fit so well for Eve they just kept it and credited her.
Did you notice that as the Captain was getting the definition of "dancing" from the computer, the visuals showed Wall-E and Eve doing their "dancing" in space, satisfying the definition as "a series of movements involving two partners where speed and rhythm match harmoniously with music."
Yeah, while having no facial expression, they gave them so much emotions just with eye movement and body language like hanging shoulders, E.V.E.s angry eyes and much more.
Disney used to be supreme at giving character and personality to literally anything in existence. I highly recommend you go watch the pixar shorts. You’ll see characters like a simple lamp being brought to life and showing a full personality
Fun fact: originally the scene in the Axiom's waste disposal was supposed to be with roles reversed, where WALL-E had to save EVE. Eventually the writers decided to make it as it is in the final product. Overall better decision: we already know WALL-E will do anything for her. The reverse, after all this time, needed to be established.
funny enough the Wall-E games followed the original waste disposal scene where EVE needed repairing, I dont think Pixar shared the change with the devs so the game is following the dated concept but also making it unique to the movie
@@socialfreak6900 Considering the bulk of the gameplay is devoted to WALL-E, this makes more sense. Creating notably different behaviour for EVE compared to the rest of the segments with her would probably have been a high hurdle.
@@socialfreak6900 I never played the game, but they might've also done that because it make more sense from a gameplay perspective. I'm pretty sure I've played other licensed games before that did similar things. Making slight tweaks to how the events played out in the source material for the sake of prioritizing the character the player is controlling, rather than the character who actually did the thing in the original movie, or whatever.
In case you haven't run into it before, Pixar animators insert A113 into every movie. That's the classroom number at Caltech where they all took their first animation classes. George Lucas skipped 1138 into his movies in honor of his first film, THX1138.
I love that WALL-E has no idea what the things he collects are, they just stand out from everything else in some way that caught his attention and that makes them special.
He didn't even correlate the incandescent bulb with lights, which he clearly knows about. When she turned that bulb on, the junior novelization confirms he thought it was broken
I love how you got it all. How humanity is so messed up, how Wall-E & Eve don't "talk" but say so much. You liked it so much you owe it to yourself to seek out the Pixar short "Burn-E". I won't spoil nothing but as you can guess it's set in the same world and I have a feeling you will like it as much. Enjoy and thanks for the video, I had a great time watching Wall-E with you.
This is my absolute favorite movie of all time, and I adore it with all my heart. M-O is my favorite character, just a very angry robot the size of a sock angrily scrubbing the ship was hilarious.
"It's almost like they HAVE to have those screens in front of them at ALL times?" (Well, THAT doesn't resemble reality at ALL now, does it?) "It's amazing what you can see when you don't have a screen in front of your face!" Wall-E. 90% HEART, 10% gentle, social commentary.
The way they animated wall-e after Eve repaired him is so well done. His eyes just aren't expressive anymore, and if you're really paying attention you can tell something is wrong even before the movie confirms it, and it's heartbreaking to see him being a mindless machine just fulfilling his purpose
My psych teacher made fun of me for liking this movie, or rather that it’s one of my favorites. Eff him tho I like this movie and I won’t apologize for it
In terms of having the capability of making me cry, like tear rolling down and all (and believe me, it's hard to even get my eyes moist), this movie takes one of the top spots in my list.
Anyone who sees those robots essentially fall in love and doesn't get something in their eye, is no better than a robot (a crappy one like Otto I mean). Top 5 Pixar offerings for sure.
I tend to get emotional during scenes when reactors do, so it was nice to feel that impact toward the end when EVE rebuilt WALL-E. I've never had a loved one with memory issues, but that theme hits me hard, and the first time I saw this, I was a mess. Your reaction to this movie was great, very astute observations and empathetic connection to the story and characters. And bonus points for sticking around to watch the credits animation. I like how it showed how the robots co-operated with the humans to rebuild society. Oh, not sure if you went back to look out for it during editing, but WALL-E = Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth class. In space, his giant cousins were WALL-A (Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Axiom class).
I have had family members with varying degrees of dementia. Based on my observations, for some people the memories are all there, but the person cannot tell old memories from new ones, the "timestamps" if you will are all erased. This is why victims wander off. They feel like they woke up in some weird hospital like place, and want to find their way home. Others can simply lose an ability to retain short term memory, so they get confused because they are always in the middle of doing something, but they don't remember starting, or why they're doing it to begin with. WALL-E just needed a minute for his memories to copy up to RAM buffers, his memories were intact.
This is such a special movie for me. It was the very first film I saw twice in theatres and was absolutely obsessed with it as a kid. To this day it is still my favorite Pixar film. For a movie aimed at children and families to go through the first half with no dialogue and still keep the attention of the audience is absolutely admirable. Another sign of its major impact on the film community is that just this year, it has become the first Disney title to ever be given a Blu Ray release through The Criterion Collection. Which for those who don’t know is an independent home media distributor specializing in arthouse and contemporary titles. Any movie that gets a Criterion release you already know is gonna be terrific.
This is one of the best from PIXAR, and arguably one of the best examples of near perfect cinema ever. It follows the holy grail of telling a story in film - don't tell. Show. And they did it in spades. You even saw yourself how expressive the characters are and how quickly you connect and fall in love with them, even without a shred of dialog. This film has it all. Great characters, a love story, identifiable heroes, a meaningful plot, and fun action. So glad you got to enjoy this one!
I always wanted WALL-E to look for the car when he clicked the key fob. His joy in the jewelry box is more precious than the ring itself. Even though WALL-E was alone for so very long he ended up having such a positive influence on every human and every robot he met. Early on, when we started to rely on so many digital devices we learned how easy it was to lose the content we had saved from a reboot or reset. As we saw EVE kinda reprogram WALL-E the fear of his lost memory felt like it could be permanent. We then learn that there's always a trace of memory to be found. Memories are available with just the right reminder.
The movie that was depicted on the video tape that Wall-E was watching is actually an old Barbara Streisand musical called Hello Dolly! and it's actually one of my favorite musicals of all time! A movie which I would highly recommend!
I went to Disneyland a few years back and while walking around main street at night they were playing an instrumental version of 'sunday clothes' over the speakers.its a nice memory.
I hope everyone today gets the metaphor and warning... people staring at screens all day, dependent on technology, losing their self-sufficiency, forgetting about the important things. Such a needed message today. Thanks for your reaction.
There are a lot of great animated movies out there, and you picked one of my favorites (my other favorite being Megamind). Wall-E is such a sweet movie that manages to be heartwarming and fascinating despite 80% of the dialogue being "Wall-E" and "Eve" spoken over and over. Great reaction and great channel!
I'm so glad you liked it!!! I could tell you were getting lots of the ~warm fuzzies~ along the way. I always cry at the scene where she fixes him up 💚 Pixar did such a great job with this film, it'll always be one of my favourites! I also LOVEEEE how there is still a lot of WALL-E merch in disney stores/parks including some very cute mugs 🥺
What so few pick up on is that this has a ton of Star Wars references in it beyond the voice of R2. The trash compactor, of course, but look at Eve. Now look at Leia in the OT- she inspired a lot of Eve's personality, and her design is a clear nod to not only Apple products but also that white dress from New Hope.
Pixar was developing a movie about humans who never look up from their screens at the Sam time that Apple was developing the iPhone and the iPad. Either Steve Jobs wasn’t paying much attention to what the companies he owned were doing, or he was just a flat out villain. “Oh, that sounds great. Let’s make those.”
I got to smile. " It's almost as if they have to have that screen in front of them at all times. " I heard you say this as I watched you on a screen in front of me, with a screen in front of you. LOL
This movie takes visual and thematic references from a couple of movies including, '2001'(1968) and 'Silent Running'(1972) both of which I'd recommend.
What a coincidence! I just rewatched it last night after buying The Criterion 4K Blu Ray copy after years of not watching it. I didn't appreciate it fully when I first watched it as a 8 year old, but now 21 year old me appreciates it fully as it just hits differently.
One of my favorite sci fi movies ever made, glad it connected so well with you. I'll defend the real humans in this one by saying the pictures of the captains on the wall explain why they used them. This movie is positing our future, not an animated future, and as time passes, you can see the human captains slowly becoming the blob-like characters humanity has become by the time of the movie. I think it's meant to anchor the story in our time and show us what we may become. If it pulled you out of it, totally understandable, but I think that was they were going for with those shots. A few more fun facts for you, the voice of the computer is Ripley herself, Sigourney Weaver. While making the movie, director Andrew Staunton told her, "You realize, you're Mother now," referring to the computer in the original Alien. There are a few significant number references in this one, notably A113 and 1912. A113 was a classroom number that a lot of people working at Pixar attended at the California Institute of the arts. Alumni of the class tend to work it into their movies somewhere, Brad Bird put it on a ring in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, for instance. The lifeboat being number 1912 is a reference to perhaps the most famous use of lifeboats in history, 1912 is the year the Titanic sank in the North Atlantic. Ben Burtt, who voices WALL-E in this movie, is indeed the creator of pretty much every Star Wars sound effect you can think of, but also helped popularize the Wilhelm Scream, by including it in many movies he did sound work for.
Also notice how the Autopilot became closer and larger in the pictures, showing the Autopilot's growing influence. Now what could have been interesting is that the Autopilot wanted to go Earth, but the Directive was a software override that it could not fight. The BNL Chairman effectively had admin access to the Autopilots, and put in an override to keep the ships in space.
1:23 - *“I have heard, over the years, that there is, like, a very sad moment in this movie…”* Yeah, this is kinda the reverse of _Up_ in that regard. Where _Up_ rips your heart out and makes you cry, just before the story starts, _WALL-E_ does it right before the story _ends._ 😭
Yesss! I knew you'd love Wall-E! I am surprised how little you knew of it, but that made everything even more wonderful to witness. Just love, love love this movie. I didn't know the fun fact about R2/Wall-E!
Still one of my favorite Disney movies. I just love Wall-E and how expressive and adorable he is. But also this movie kind of scared me as a kid cause I felt like such a thing like this could actually happen in real life
"I can't imagine a world where nobody knows what dancing is." You need to watch the legendary tale called Footloose, where a great hero named Kevin Bacon teaches an entire city with sticks up their butts that dancing, well, is the greatest thing there is!
Another PIXAR easter egg I recently learned about: the little robotic mice in the trash heap have a model name. Care to guess what it is? REM-E. As in, the rat protagonist of Ratatouille.
At the Moment your reaction channel ist one of two i know on yt that is not just reviewing the same movies as any other reaction channel during a week. Its quite refreshing and i hope you continue to be off the mainstream and stay suprising!
My Patreon community has decided the next bit of movies for me and I'm incorporating a couple TV series soon (Dragon Age Absolution and The Last of Us). I just do what I want, though sometimes things happen at the same time without realizing. Like my friend Verowak Reacts and I uploaded our reactions to The Last Samurai a day apart and neither of us even realized that we were both doing that.
Yooo, my most favorite movie of all time, I watch it once every year or so just to feel that emotion of something so distant yet comforting, everything in this movie has always made me feel so alive also I read the title but I'll say it anyway. You like droids?! That's so cool, what type of droid do you like? Mine is the B1 Battle droid cause of their versatility in use btw your reaction and review is wonderful 👍👍
38:13 Kaiielle, I think that was the whole point of the end credits. We came back and naturally repeated what had come before: The Agricultural Revolution (Birth of Civilisation).
I remember watching this in my childhood, I rewatched it recently. I don't remember the part where Wall-E got reset at the end being so heartbreaking. Watching this as a toddler and now watching this at 17 years old really hits different. In my childhood I thought Wall-E and Eve just wanted to be friends, and now I understand that it's actually more of a romance type of movie and it's just beautiful. This movie is a piece of my childhood I'll always remember, it's too much of a masterpiece for me to forget it. Pixar absolutly nailed it with this movie, 10/10. Btw I don't know if you saw it but there's a little bonus at the end with Wall-E and Luxo jr. which is just adorable.
same! i used to watch it sooooooo much as a kid that my mom doesn't even want to watch the movie anymore lol and yes, its super different seeing the movie when you're a kid and when you're older, as a kid I just wanted to constantly hug Wall-E because he was so cute, but when I rewatched it recently I realized it was a bit scary if you thought about it. we might not be too far from the circumstances the humans in the movie were in
The state of the humans on the Axiom was due to the fact that the ship was designed as a five-year retreat, not a generation ship. The idea was to keep all the people who had to leave the Earth, which was then still familiar, entertained and satisfied for a fairly long time so they wouldn't make trouble, get restless, feel confined, etc. So, the extreme luxury hotel/cruise ship setting, so that everyone could simply while away the 5 years, until they got to go home. As it dragged on, and Auto kept them away while the cleanup took far longer than understood (ultimately failing), they started losing all their physical health, and were kept intellectually stimulated through immersion in the in-your-face screens, and instant-gratification automated services. As they passed from one generation to the next, the new generations would have no living memory of actual Earth life or any sense of self-care, being totally educated by the computer, both in knowledge and social cues, having no first-hand experience of life other than on the ship. As such, they evolved bodies which were simply there in the hover chairs, and minds which lacked curiosity, until Wall-E made them look at something - anything - else. The Captain had to be trained to run the ship, even if otherwise automated, so he had more knowledge than everyone else, but his deficits were shown as he started teaching himself about life back on Earth. In regards to your question about how anyone would know how to do anything back on Earth, they would have to do the same thing, ask the computer, and have the robots help until they could start doing it for themselves. Without actual capitalism driving their lives, they would re-learn basic skills, and in the end credits you see they aren't just returning to 21st century technological lives, but lives of taking care of the Earth, and each other. They would have the past as a sobering reminder of how things could go horribly wrong when a system is trusted over other people. (This was also the lesson George Lucas tried to teach in Star Wars with the Empire, and his first film, THX 1138, a dystopian future where people were treated like machines, down to having number designations, instead of names.)
It's also important to note that the humans' chubby forms are meant to remind you of the bodies of well-fed babies, further driving home the fact that humanity's entered a sort of second infancy during their time away from Earth. It's only when they become more aware of their surroundings and develop connections and empathy that they're able to make the change to a "mature" state of being-- exemplified when the Captain immediately wants to learn everything he can about Earth (evoking the imagery of a child who's staying up past his bedtime reading) and when he ultimately takes his first (literal) steps towards independence.
18:34 just noticed this: he pauses for a second before he says Axiom, so they use this same footage for every other ship out there, they just edit a different name in for each one, lol
Another one of a very emotional and spacey animated movie that I recommend is Mars Needs Moms, I cried rivers to this and a new appreciation to all the mothers out there
This is one of my favorite movies of all time, I think it's an absolutely beautiful film. Loved watching your reaction to it, and I look forward to seeing more. I don't usually watch every reaction on a channel but I do go through and watch movies that I like. So I'll be checking out your selection to see what you have. Happy Holidays and have a wonderful New Year.. :)
I love this movie everything about it. In my humble opinion the purest and greatest love story ever told. The moment Eve lights the lighter and you see Wall-E fall in love so good.
By the way, the blobby human that WALL-E accidentally knocks off his floating chair says his name is John. And it is! He is voiced by John Ratzenberger who has voiced a character in every single PIXAR movie starting with Hamm in the first Toy Story.
Great reactions to the very well made film Wall-E, Kaiielle!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Unlike the other Wall-E machines, he has clearly evolved over 700 years devoloping a personality, being able to repair himself, and making his own personal home.
30:50 -- I know what it's like to have been forgotten by someone you love... I was Wall-E... I lived with my girlfriend who changed over the years and I was alone. Waiting for the woman I loved to come back. Waiting for her to remember who she was when she loved me.. I could have left at any time.. Given up and gone home.. But I stayed. Every day I would tell her that I loved her. Every day, I looked after her and the house, her car, and the pets. I kept hoping that the good person she was would come back. I would see her from time to time. Peeking though the person she became. She was still in there.... -- She died in my arms of cancer this June.. I'd taken her to the hospital and I was there every day with her.. In the end, I got the "Quantum Leap" ending... -- I spent years holding my own hands like Wall-E and praying that things would change. Sometimes, there are no happy endings. Or redemption. (addendum :. "Quantum Leap" was a TV show from the 90s in which Dr. Beckett would leap from person to person, year to year, and put the wrong things right. The last episode, ends on a black screen with the words, "Dr. Sam Beckett never returned." --- Fans were in an uproar because all those seasons of waiting to see if he gets home, and we felt like we got gypped. --- It's only when you look back at it as an older person that you realize he made the right choice. That the hero's job, is never really done.) -- In my relationship, I felt cheated. That had there been more time, maybe the good person she was would have come back. In the last six months, I lost her, the house, I had to give our pets to the shelter... And now I'm truly alone. Just me and the ghosts. The memories of the happy and the sad. And I will always be haunted by the last image in my head of her laying in a very quiet room turning blue and cold in the dim light.. 37 years wasn't long enough. And those last months flew through me like angry birds with razors..
If you are interested in watching other animations with no dialog, I suggest Triplets of Belleville. It is a *completely* different kind of story, and animation, so don't go in expecting anything like a Pixar film. But it is a coherent narrative told with no dialog whatsoever.
The Captain is such a hero. He developed such a strong human will out of apparent nothingness. For 1000 years, humans had no reason to strive for survival. But out of the blackness, he arose.
I really like how older movies like this don't tell you everything and let you figure the story by yourself. I absolutely loved this movie when I were little and I can watch it over and over again to this day.
for silent movies I recommend "It" (`1927) starring Clara Bow, which defined the term "it girl". She's my favorite silent screen actress, so cute and expressive. The movie is silly and fun!
I think that is the point that it wasn’t animated because it was a complete different world from the world we start the movie in because of those 700 years without earth
For as much as I love the movie WALL-E and the wonderful emotional storytelling expressed throughout the film, the engineer in me can't help but wonder how they were able to make a perfectly sustainable self contained utopia on a spaceship, but couldn't figure out how to do the same on Earth. Why even launch the ship ? It could just sit on the surface while WALL-Es spent years cleaning up. I know, don't ruin it. Great reaction !!

In terms of having the capability of making me cry, like tear rolling down and all (and believe me, it's hard to even get my eyes moist), this movie takes one of the top spots in my list.
Anyone who sees those robots essentially fall in love and doesn't get something in their eye, is no better than a robot (a crappy one like Otto I mean).
Top 5 Pixar offerings for sure.
Sure one of the most heartwarming pixar movies ever. Definitely in my Top 5.
There's a short film called "burn-e" that's worth watching.
P.s. you were correct in that binoculars were the inspiration for wall-e's design.
Can you tell me what's that about?
@@jeremiahaxlgonzales4805
It's a film about a welding robot working on the outside of the ship.
I could watch this movie over and over again. Truly Pixar’s greatest work (or at least one of them) in my opinion.
Agree. Inside Out is still my #1 Pixar film, but this one is up there in the top 5.
I tend to get emotional during scenes when reactors do, so it was nice to feel that impact toward the end when EVE rebuilt WALL-E. I've never had a loved one with memory issues, but that theme hits me hard, and the first time I saw this, I was a mess. Your reaction to this movie was great, very astute observations and empathetic connection to the story and characters. And bonus points for sticking around to watch the credits animation. I like how it showed how the robots co-operated with the humans to rebuild society. Oh, not sure if you went back to look out for it during editing, but WALL-E = Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth class. In space, his giant cousins were WALL-A (Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Axiom class).
She didn't actually rebuilt him, just repaired him.
I have had family members with varying degrees of dementia. Based on my observations, for some people the memories are all there, but the person cannot tell old memories from new ones, the "timestamps" if you will are all erased. This is why victims wander off. They feel like they woke up in some weird hospital like place, and want to find their way home.
Others can simply lose an ability to retain short term memory, so they get confused because they are always in the middle of doing something, but they don't remember starting, or why they're doing it to begin with. WALL-E just needed a minute for his memories to copy up to RAM buffers, his memories were intact.
I lost a grandmother to dementia. The first time your grandmother doesn't recognize you is a really hard blow.
This is such a special movie for me. It was the very first film I saw twice in theatres and was absolutely obsessed with it as a kid. To this day it is still my favorite Pixar film. For a movie aimed at children and families to go through the first half with no dialogue and still keep the attention of the audience is absolutely admirable. Another sign of its major impact on the film community is that just this year, it has become the first Disney title to ever be given a Blu Ray release through The Criterion Collection. Which for those who don’t know is an independent home media distributor specializing in arthouse and contemporary titles. Any movie that gets a Criterion release you already know is gonna be terrific.
This is one of the best from PIXAR, and arguably one of the best examples of near perfect cinema ever. It follows the holy grail of telling a story in film - don't tell. Show. And they did it in spades. You even saw yourself how expressive the characters are and how quickly you connect and fall in love with them, even without a shred of dialog. This film has it all. Great characters, a love story, identifiable heroes, a meaningful plot, and fun action. So glad you got to enjoy this one!
I always wanted WALL-E to look for the car when he clicked the key fob. His joy in the jewelry box is more precious than the ring itself.
Even though WALL-E was alone for so very long he ended up having such a positive influence on every human and every robot he met.
Early on, when we started to rely on so many digital devices we learned how easy it was to lose the content we had saved from a reboot or reset. As we saw EVE kinda reprogram WALL-E the fear of his lost memory felt like it could be permanent. We then learn that there's always a trace of memory to be found. Memories are available with just the right reminder.
The movie that was depicted on the video tape that Wall-E was watching is actually an old Barbara Streisand musical called Hello Dolly! and it's actually one of my favorite musicals of all time! A movie which I would highly recommend!
I went to Disneyland a few years back and while walking around main street at night they were playing an instrumental version of 'sunday clothes' over the speakers.its a nice memory.
@@oaf-77 oh, that's awesome! It's so cool that Hello Dolly is now in the Disney/Pixar canon!
I hope everyone today gets the metaphor and warning... people staring at screens all day, dependent on technology, losing their self-sufficiency, forgetting about the important things. Such a needed message today. Thanks for your reaction.
""metaphor""
Not me crying with you when I watched this movie for the billionth time 😩😭😭😭
There are a lot of great animated movies out there, and you picked one of my favorites (my other favorite being Megamind). Wall-E is such a sweet movie that manages to be heartwarming and fascinating despite 80% of the dialogue being "Wall-E" and "Eve" spoken over and over. Great reaction and great channel!
I'm so glad you liked it!!! I could tell you were getting lots of the ~warm fuzzies~ along the way. I always cry at the scene where she fixes him up 💚 Pixar did such a great job with this film, it'll always be one of my favourites! I also LOVEEEE how there is still a lot of WALL-E merch in disney stores/parks including some very cute mugs 🥺
The WALL-E Short "BURN-E" is worth watching. Takes place during the movie.
That scene with WALL-E and EVE dancing in space... hits me in the feels hard
What so few pick up on is that this has a ton of Star Wars references in it beyond the voice of R2. The trash compactor, of course, but look at Eve. Now look at Leia in the OT- she inspired a lot of Eve's personality, and her design is a clear nod to not only Apple products but also that white dress from New Hope.
Pixar was developing a movie about humans who never look up from their screens at the Sam time that Apple was developing the iPhone and the iPad. Either Steve Jobs wasn’t paying much attention to what the companies he owned were doing, or he was just a flat out villain. “Oh, that sounds great. Let’s make those.”
I got to smile. " It's almost as if they have to have that screen in front of them at all times. " I heard you say this as I watched you on a screen in front of me, with a screen in front of you. LOL
"It almost feels like they have to have that screen in front of them at all times."
I feel personally attacked. 😅
It's simply fantastic. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
This movie takes visual and thematic references from a couple of movies including, '2001'(1968) and 'Silent Running'(1972) both of which I'd recommend.
What a coincidence! I just rewatched it last night after buying The Criterion 4K Blu Ray copy after years of not watching it. I didn't appreciate it fully when I first watched it as a 8 year old, but now 21 year old me appreciates it fully as it just hits differently.
One of my favorite sci fi movies ever made, glad it connected so well with you. I'll defend the real humans in this one by saying the pictures of the captains on the wall explain why they used them. This movie is positing our future, not an animated future, and as time passes, you can see the human captains slowly becoming the blob-like characters humanity has become by the time of the movie. I think it's meant to anchor the story in our time and show us what we may become. If it pulled you out of it, totally understandable, but I think that was they were going for with those shots.
A few more fun facts for you, the voice of the computer is Ripley herself, Sigourney Weaver. While making the movie, director Andrew Staunton told her, "You realize, you're Mother now," referring to the computer in the original Alien.
There are a few significant number references in this one, notably A113 and 1912. A113 was a classroom number that a lot of people working at Pixar attended at the California Institute of the arts. Alumni of the class tend to work it into their movies somewhere, Brad Bird put it on a ring in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, for instance. The lifeboat being number 1912 is a reference to perhaps the most famous use of lifeboats in history, 1912 is the year the Titanic sank in the North Atlantic.
Ben Burtt, who voices WALL-E in this movie, is indeed the creator of pretty much every Star Wars sound effect you can think of, but also helped popularize the Wilhelm Scream, by including it in many movies he did sound work for.
Also notice how the Autopilot became closer and larger in the pictures, showing the Autopilot's growing influence.
Now what could have been interesting is that the Autopilot wanted to go Earth, but the Directive was a software override that it could not fight. The BNL Chairman effectively had admin access to the Autopilots, and put in an override to keep the ships in space.
Wall-E rememberd me on "number-five" from 'Short Circuit' (1986 film), same expressions, kindness and fun, but live-action
1:23 - *“I have heard, over the years, that there is, like, a very sad moment in this movie…”*
Yeah, this is kinda the reverse of _Up_ in that regard. Where _Up_ rips your heart out and makes you cry, just before the story starts, _WALL-E_ does it right before the story _ends._ 😭
Saw this film in the cinema with my mom. We were the only ones there. Loved it so much as a kid. But ow as an adult all i can do is cry as i watch it
WALL-E stands for Waste Allocation Load Lifter: Earth-class.
The big ones on the Axiom are WALL-A's, for Axiom-class.
Yesss! I knew you'd love Wall-E! I am surprised how little you knew of it, but that made everything even more wonderful to witness. Just love, love love this movie. I didn't know the fun fact about R2/Wall-E!
Anyone else already point out that the guy who voiced John (the blonde dude) was John Ratzenberger who also voiced Hamm in Toy Story?
Still one of my favorite Disney movies. I just love Wall-E and how expressive and adorable he is. But also this movie kind of scared me as a kid cause I felt like such a thing like this could actually happen in real life
Still my fav movie. And i always endek crying so hard during watching it even if i know it very well!
I love wall e and his relationship with eve is so cute ☺️ great movie
"I can't imagine a world where nobody knows what dancing is."
You need to watch the legendary tale called Footloose, where a great hero named Kevin Bacon teaches an entire city with sticks up their butts that dancing, well, is the greatest thing there is!
Or Avatar: The Last Airbender in "The Headband"
Wall-E is the most precious little robot ever!! ♥️
One of my favourite Pixar characters he is so cute
Another PIXAR easter egg I recently learned about: the little robotic mice in the trash heap have a model name. Care to guess what it is?
REM-E.
As in, the rat protagonist of Ratatouille.
At the Moment your reaction channel ist one of two i know on yt that is not just reviewing the same movies as any other reaction channel during a week. Its quite refreshing and i hope you continue to be off the mainstream and stay suprising!
My Patreon community has decided the next bit of movies for me and I'm incorporating a couple TV series soon (Dragon Age Absolution and The Last of Us). I just do what I want, though sometimes things happen at the same time without realizing. Like my friend Verowak Reacts and I uploaded our reactions to The Last Samurai a day apart and neither of us even realized that we were both doing that.
The Music always makes me feel emotional. It's beautiful and relaxing
Yooo, my most favorite movie of all time, I watch it once every year or so just to feel that emotion of something so distant yet comforting, everything in this movie has always made me feel so alive also I read the title but I'll say it anyway. You like droids?! That's so cool, what type of droid do you like? Mine is the B1 Battle droid cause of their versatility in use
btw your reaction and review is wonderful 👍👍
38:13 Kaiielle, I think that was the whole point of the end credits. We came back and naturally repeated what had come before: The Agricultural Revolution (Birth of Civilisation).
I remember watching this in my childhood, I rewatched it recently. I don't remember the part where Wall-E got reset at the end being so heartbreaking. Watching this as a toddler and now watching this at 17 years old really hits different. In my childhood I thought Wall-E and Eve just wanted to be friends, and now I understand that it's actually more of a romance type of movie and it's just beautiful. This movie is a piece of my childhood I'll always remember, it's too much of a masterpiece for me to forget it. Pixar absolutly nailed it with this movie, 10/10.
Btw I don't know if you saw it but there's a little bonus at the end with Wall-E and Luxo jr. which is just adorable.
same! i used to watch it sooooooo much as a kid that my mom doesn't even want to watch the movie anymore lol
and yes, its super different seeing the movie when you're a kid and when you're older, as a kid I just wanted to constantly hug Wall-E because he was so cute, but when I rewatched it recently I realized it was a bit scary if you thought about it. we might not be too far from the circumstances the humans in the movie were in
The state of the humans on the Axiom was due to the fact that the ship was designed as a five-year retreat, not a generation ship. The idea was to keep all the people who had to leave the Earth, which was then still familiar, entertained and satisfied for a fairly long time so they wouldn't make trouble, get restless, feel confined, etc. So, the extreme luxury hotel/cruise ship setting, so that everyone could simply while away the 5 years, until they got to go home. As it dragged on, and Auto kept them away while the cleanup took far longer than understood (ultimately failing), they started losing all their physical health, and were kept intellectually stimulated through immersion in the in-your-face screens, and instant-gratification automated services. As they passed from one generation to the next, the new generations would have no living memory of actual Earth life or any sense of self-care, being totally educated by the computer, both in knowledge and social cues, having no first-hand experience of life other than on the ship. As such, they evolved bodies which were simply there in the hover chairs, and minds which lacked curiosity, until Wall-E made them look at something - anything - else. The Captain had to be trained to run the ship, even if otherwise automated, so he had more knowledge than everyone else, but his deficits were shown as he started teaching himself about life back on Earth.
In regards to your question about how anyone would know how to do anything back on Earth, they would have to do the same thing, ask the computer, and have the robots help until they could start doing it for themselves. Without actual capitalism driving their lives, they would re-learn basic skills, and in the end credits you see they aren't just returning to 21st century technological lives, but lives of taking care of the Earth, and each other. They would have the past as a sobering reminder of how things could go horribly wrong when a system is trusted over other people. (This was also the lesson George Lucas tried to teach in Star Wars with the Empire, and his first film, THX 1138, a dystopian future where people were treated like machines, down to having number designations, instead of names.)
It's also important to note that the humans' chubby forms are meant to remind you of the bodies of well-fed babies, further driving home the fact that humanity's entered a sort of second infancy during their time away from Earth. It's only when they become more aware of their surroundings and develop connections and empathy that they're able to make the change to a "mature" state of being-- exemplified when the Captain immediately wants to learn everything he can about Earth (evoking the imagery of a child who's staying up past his bedtime reading) and when he ultimately takes his first (literal) steps towards independence.
18:34 just noticed this: he pauses for a second before he says Axiom, so they use this same footage for every other ship out there, they just edit a different name in for each one, lol
Holy crap good pick up
Saludó desde la República Dominicana excelente vídeo 🇩🇴👍🏿👏🏿🏆🌟❤
Another one of a very emotional and spacey animated movie that I recommend is Mars Needs Moms, I cried rivers to this and a new appreciation to all the mothers out there
This is one of my favorite movies of all time, I think it's an absolutely beautiful film. Loved watching your reaction to it, and I look forward to seeing more. I don't usually watch every reaction on a channel but I do go through and watch movies that I like. So I'll be checking out your selection to see what you have. Happy Holidays and have a wonderful New Year.. :)
The most emotional Pixar movie I've seen. Even more than any of the Toy Story movies. So utterly wholesome and feel-good.
I love this movie everything about it. In my humble opinion the purest and greatest love story ever told. The moment Eve lights the lighter and you see Wall-E fall in love so good.
I always end up with foggy eyes too, even though I've seen it a few times
So many years I've seen this and here I am, getting all emotional with your reaction! Great job, such a lovely portrayal of adorable little droids!
By the way, the blobby human that WALL-E accidentally knocks off his floating chair says his name is John. And it is! He is voiced by John Ratzenberger who has voiced a character in every single PIXAR movie starting with Hamm in the first Toy Story.
This and Ratatouille are my two favorite Pixar movies, but The Iron Giant is my favorite animated movie of all time.
The Iron Giant is WELL up there for me!
i like how wall e saw the diamond as they are irl, just a shiny rock
"Yeah, look at all you can see when you don't have a screen in front of your face". So true Kaiielle, so true. ✊😞
Great reactions to the very well made film Wall-E, Kaiielle!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Unlike the other Wall-E machines, he has clearly evolved over 700 years devoloping a personality, being able to repair himself, and making his own personal home.
You picked my favorite pixar movie of all time!
Definitely a subscription for this beautiful and emotional reaction. For me this is the best Pixa film ever.
The Force is Strong in these Droids! Wonderful reaction!!!
there is amazing music from Peter Gabriel during the flights around the Axiom and at the end when the credits roll.
The captain may not have known what dancing was, but at least he knew what pizza plants are…
30:50 -- I know what it's like to have been forgotten by someone you love... I was Wall-E... I lived with my girlfriend who changed over the years and I was alone. Waiting for the woman I loved to come back. Waiting for her to remember who she was when she loved me.. I could have left at any time.. Given up and gone home.. But I stayed. Every day I would tell her that I loved her. Every day, I looked after her and the house, her car, and the pets. I kept hoping that the good person she was would come back. I would see her from time to time. Peeking though the person she became. She was still in there.... -- She died in my arms of cancer this June.. I'd taken her to the hospital and I was there every day with her.. In the end, I got the "Quantum Leap" ending... -- I spent years holding my own hands like Wall-E and praying that things would change. Sometimes, there are no happy endings. Or redemption. (addendum :. "Quantum Leap" was a TV show from the 90s in which Dr. Beckett would leap from person to person, year to year, and put the wrong things right. The last episode, ends on a black screen with the words, "Dr. Sam Beckett never returned." --- Fans were in an uproar because all those seasons of waiting to see if he gets home, and we felt like we got gypped. --- It's only when you look back at it as an older person that you realize he made the right choice. That the hero's job, is never really done.) -- In my relationship, I felt cheated. That had there been more time, maybe the good person she was would have come back. In the last six months, I lost her, the house, I had to give our pets to the shelter... And now I'm truly alone. Just me and the ghosts. The memories of the happy and the sad. And I will always be haunted by the last image in my head of her laying in a very quiet room turning blue and cold in the dim light.. 37 years wasn't long enough. And those last months flew through me like angry birds with razors..
Happy New Year everyone hope this year is a better one
You must see UP. Arguably, the most heartfelt tearjerker Pixar movie.
I have before starting a reaction channel.
If you are interested in watching other animations with no dialog, I suggest Triplets of Belleville.
It is a *completely* different kind of story, and animation, so don't go in expecting anything like a Pixar film. But it is a coherent narrative told with no dialog whatsoever.
The Captain is such a hero. He developed such a strong human will out of apparent nothingness. For 1000 years, humans had no reason to strive for survival. But out of the blackness, he arose.
The will to engage is still readily apparent in their virtual interactions.
Buster Keaton's "The General" is a must watch classic silent film, if you choose to go that route.
The Legend of Vox Machina -- and ARCANE!!!!
I really like how older movies like this don't tell you everything and let you figure the story by yourself. I absolutely loved this movie when I were little and I can watch it over and over again to this day.
I used to have an actual wall-e toy and I loved it
This is my favorite Pixar movie; I love it so much. So upsetting it got scrubbed by not even being nominated for Best Picture.
Hello 😊
This is one of our favs too.
Thx for reacting & uploading; oh and great statements on humanity esp: #38:50 - 39:05
TakeCare...
Still my favorite Pixar movie after all these years! Great reaction!!!
My favorite Pixar movie
for silent movies I recommend "It" (`1927) starring Clara Bow, which defined the term "it girl". She's my favorite silent screen actress, so cute and expressive. The movie is silly and fun!
A-113 is a reference to the animation classroom they went to, they try to slip it into every movie somewhere.
I think that is the point that it wasn’t animated because it was a complete different world from the world we start the movie in because of those 700 years without earth
For as much as I love the movie WALL-E and the wonderful emotional storytelling expressed throughout the film, the engineer in me can't help but wonder how they were able to make a perfectly sustainable self contained utopia on a spaceship, but couldn't figure out how to do the same on Earth. Why even launch the ship ? It could just sit on the surface while WALL-Es spent years cleaning up. I know, don't ruin it. Great reaction !!
WALL-E is definitely one of my favorite Pixar movies I watched growing up
You should try "Short Circuit" next for some droid lovin' ^-^
23:36 ...."I heard something else"..... We all did......
