Fun Fact: Auto (the captain’s wheel robot villain) does not have a voice actor. His voice was the text-to-speech program MacInTalk. Pretty appropriate for the character actually.
I love the fact that the film heavily implies that the reason our WALL-E was the only one to still be going is that it didn't function properly, ie the reason it collected things and had a personality which is also why it repairs itself rather than working until fully breaking down
It'd be nice if that were explained somehow.. Why this unit was different. Although a "lightning strike" would be a direct tie to Johnny Five from "Short Circuit." (And previous to that, an electrical / data overload that makes "Edger" sentient in the movie "Electric Dreams.")
@@davidr1050 Well, according to the profile of each robot in the movie extras: _"WALL•E bot is considered archaic, disruptive and has a permanent malfunction: a personality and an illogical interest in musicals"_
@@davidr1050 I remember a few trailers of this movie with the trailer voice guy explaining that "He has a glitch," and that glitch is what gave him his personality.
Apparently according to a WALL-E game, during a sand storm the WALL-E’s were supposed to seek shelter in their homes(the place where WALL-E lives) but our WALL-E got there first and locked them out. 💀
"On the Axiom, you will survive." "I don't want to survive! I want to live!" One of the best exchanges of dialogue in any animated film, WALL-E is a masterpiece!
There’s a great irony for me with that exchange. When I was a kid I used to find that line funny cause I thought “survive” and “live” were technically the same thing. Now that I’m older I understand just how much weight that line carries
Well, minus the adverts from the BnL CEO, but yeah. No human dialogue for the first half of the movie really set Wall-E apart from not just it's contemporaries, but pretty much every other movie that followed.
16:48 - when the Captain realizes that the Autopilot has been steadily getting closer to the camera, symbolizing it steadily taking over control of the ship/mission
But that is not really what happened right? As soon as the A113 order was send Auto was in control, it wasn't a slow progression. It could mean that he had to take more and more action to keep the status quo though.
I know this a year ago, but I think the implication is that the Captain is realizing Auto has been there the whole time, controlling the ship and the captains. Who knows how many Eve units returned with plants or what else it did to disrupted their return.
@@MarijnvdSterre Well, very likely the Captains tended towards doing less actual work over time until there was literally nothing left that Auto didn't do himself.
Besides the main characters, my second favorite is Moe. He’s so OCD about cleaning that he steps out of his indicated line just so he can clean up after Wall-E who is leaving a trail of “foreign contaminant “. 🙂 He’s not sure what will happen since he’s never done that before and he closes his eyes and is clearly scared when he jumps out of line. But once he sees it’s okay, he proceeds to follow Wall-E all over the ship cleaning the floor as he goes. Even though Wall-E stepped on his face (which made him scream), and created extra work for him all over the ship, he’s not really mad at him. He’s mad at the dirt. And when Wall-E properly introduces himself to him, Moe actually cleans Wall-E’s hand before shaking it. Talk about a germaphobe. 😉 Soooo adorable and funny!! 🤗❤️ Yes, I am a clean freak myself, so cute little Moe has a very special place in my heart. 💜 ❤️
This movie holds a special place in my heart. My dad was a kid at heart. He was very sick around the time this was being advertised, but was so anxious to go see this. He passed away around the time it came out. My brother, sister, and I went and saw it in theaters together after he passed and we put our movie tickets in the coffin with him.
"Is it a weed or an actual plant?" Hopefully by the end you'll realise that even weeds are plants. Another film you might want to check out for a glimpse of the future is Idiocracy (2006).
@@shinrapresident7010 If those dandelions are where you want them, they're not weeds. An orchid in your rose patch is a weed. A dandelion where you want it, or are happy for it to be, is not.
This is perhaps my favorite movie. It’s so beautifully done, and different (no dialogue for the first half of the movie), and the story and character development is so good. Not to mention how cute the robots are.
What makes the last spark from eve more impactful is that she hums (very softly) the song about the two holding hands showing that she remembers Wall-E's big dream and why he cared so much about her.
16:46 - You didn't understand this scene : in each Captain's portrait, Auto is closer. So the Captain understands that Auto is the real master of this ship.
Over time, as each captain replaces the last and is instructed to assume the same faulted orders, they (and in turn, the passengers) become more and more complacent with their lives, while AUTO builds his influence more and more to keep everyone in place. That's actually the most horrifying fate I can think of, for humanity. To be enslaved for generations to come, and never even be aware of it.
@@Anino_Makata Don't you mean, "To be enslaved by AI for generations to come, and never even be aware of it?", because if we go by your original statement, that's already the case, we call it 'civilization'. ;)
I took my wife out to see this at the theater when she was pregnant with our daughter. We already had picked out Eva as her name after my dad's mom. It was so sweet to hear Wall-e calling out Eve-a throughout the movie with my wife sitting next to me and our daughter about a month away from making her appearance.
*BNL (Buy-N-Large)* is a recurring corporation in most other Disney films, usually seen or referenced in the background, further hinting at a connected universe. There's the *Pizza Planet truck* from *Toy Story* that keeps making brief appearances in Disney films.

@@gonk_chI know your comment is 2 years, but every bot in the Axiom is just as old as Wall-E. They dont build robots in there, they just repair them if something happens.
A lot of backstory is background details. The transports like the one WALL-E lives in have *all those cubicles,* each of which held a Waste Allocation Lift Loader -- Earth model, like WALL-E! And WALL-E is the only survivor of all the storms: the others are mechanical corpses in the background. When we got aboard the ship, we see other EVE units. It's suggested that all these units were placed in different parts of Earth. The defective bots were overjoyed to be released from captivity...never mind that they are still defective!
Lol I love that she’s talking about she doesn’t want the future of people sitting in front of screens all day when she’s literally talking to all of us sitting in front of a screen haha
i for one do stuff other than sit in front of screens. but yeah we as a society are on the way there. which is why sport is so good (human interaction in person + exercise)
If she loves this, she would certainly love Short Circuit, and Short Circuit 2. I'm guessing those 2 movies inspired this one. Those movies hold a special place in my heart.
So I guess you didn’t see the credits, they tell the story of how people became earthling humans again, how earth became again alive, and even the history of the little plant in the shoe the captain planted.
This is a perfect movie, animation or otherwise. There is an incredible amount of detail put into it. Just as an example, do a deep dive into the closing credits. They go through the entire history of art and culture in that one sequence. Absolutely brilliant.
I remember being in a nearby Wal-Mart when this film came out on DVD. The power went out for a second, but I guess the display was battery powered, since I heard a “Wall-E…” in the dark. It kinda freaked me out for a second.
There's Wall-E builders club where robot enthusiasts make their own life sized, remote controlled Wall-Es. They take them to children's hospitals to lift the kid's spirits. Well, they did until the 🤬 pandemic.
Fun fact: in the film Wall-E is obsessed with, Hello Dolly, there isn't a scene of the two characters holding hands. An additional scene was filmed and added into the film to fit this movies narrative.
There's a reference you may not have gotten. The music playing when the Captain is fighting Otto is called "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" and is referencing the song's use in the 1968 film "2001: A Space Odyssey". In that movie it was used to underscore the point in the movie when a band of prehistoric hominids learns tool use, implying they had achieved sentience. In other words, they learned to stand on their own.
If you want good kid but slightly dark robot movies with a protag similar to Wall-E I'd suggest Short Circuit and Short Circuit 2, I think a good majority of people were reminded of Johnny 5 when watching Wall-E.
Wall-e is one of the cutest movies ever, I love the sound and visual design. Eve's design is so slick and smoov. Fun Fact: the cockroach's name is Godzilla :3
WALL-E (and M-O and the majority of the "male" robots) are done by Ben Burtt, the legendary sound designer who created the sound effects for the Star Wars Saga (bar the sequel trilogy) and Indiana Jones. He's the guy behind the blaster fire, Darth Vader's breathing, R2-D2's voice, the lightsabers, Chewbacca's voice, the TIE Fighter engines, the list goes on. He also created the sound effects for this movie, which he did early on as Andrew Stanton wanted the film to relied on sound effects rather than dialouge, making it a "silent film" (they watched a lot of Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin and some Harold Lloyd for inspiration for how the robots should acting using little dialouge as possible).
This and the S4 finale of Doctor Who are the only pieces of media that can get me to tear up every single time, and that’s really hard for me cos even movies I cried at the first time don’t have the same effect every other time.
Wall-e is one of the greatest, underrated Disney movies of all time! When he threw her hand away and crawled to the plant to remind her of the greater good....incredible.
22:53 that’s the reason I keep coming back to this film you don’t always need to talk to convey your message/story people throw round “actions speak louder than words” all the time but this film really takes that in stride also I think that this film didn’t need auto (the so called evil robot) and it still would of been amazing.
Two distinct types of people watch this film and get different feelings... I'm Wall-E because I'm waiting for someone I loved to come back and I'd give anything to just have her take my hand again. All I want is to be loved and not alone anymore..
A year has passed since I wrote the above. The girl I loved died in my arms.. She did come back, but only for the briefest of moments. Now I have lost everything and am truly alone.
@@davidr1050 I am so sorry for your loss I can't say it gets better but don't be sad that you lost your partner be happy you enjoyed your time together when you had the chance I can't say I feel your pain nor will I understand what you feel but I hope you find comfort in knowing you had someone
You should go back and watch the end credits (if you didn't) as the animations that run alongside them tell the story of what happens to the people next and how they develop from there. One of the best films ever, imo.
"Is it a weed or an actual plant?" Weeds are just plants you don't want in your garden, so I assume the definition of what's a weed would change drastically in this situation...
No. There's a difference: If you pull it out of the ground or otherwise kill it and it grows back, it is a weed. If you water it and it dies, it is a plant!
my favorite quote from a movie critic said "I don't think any other movie in the world could get away with not saying a single word the first 20 minutes and be this successful, and thats the beauty of it."
As someone who remembers 8-tracks, vinyl, and a custom playlist being a mix-tape (for portability with either a shoulder mounted boom box or a hip mounted Walkman) you saying iPod’s are old made me feel ancient. 😜
That was the great comedic actor Fred Willard as the B&L spokesman. John Ratzenberger and Cathy Najimy were John and Mary and Jeff Garlin was the Captain. The glowing red thing in the middle of the steering wheel was a reference to HAL in 2001. They even played some of the 2001 music during the scene where the captain was fighting the wheel. The DVD of this has some great shorts worth watching if you can get ahold of one.
"Old iPods"?! LOL, I still am using this one, for over twelve years now. - Okay, it is old ... 😆 And the music playing while the captain is getting on his feet is a reminiscence to "2001". You should watch it. Just saying. ^^
There are a few references to 2001 including the eye of the Autopilot. I would hesitate to recommend it however, not sure it would be her cup of tea (even though it's my favourite film)
The joke with Hal the Roach (named after silent filmmaker Hal Roach and HAL2000 from 2001: A Space Oddysey, which heavy inspiring AUTO) is that coachroaches are not easily exterminated and are known to survive even apocapyltic scenarios. In real life, a roach does get killed if squished like other bugs and definitvely by a laser blast.
To me, the most amazing thing is how the film's director somehow made a fat guy getting back up on his feet after being knocked down such an awesome, awesome thing. And the fact that they set Captain McCrea standing back up to Also Sprach Zarathustra -- which has been the musical 'dawn of a new age' leitmotif since at least 2001: A Space Odyssey -- is just awesome sauce on an already awesome scene.
Every time I see the tree grown from that shoe in the final cast and crew animation, I get very very emotional. man, it makes me love this world. wow wow...
Appropriately enough, the music that plays at 20:01 is The Ascent of Man, from 2001: A Space Odyssey. In fact Otto, with his glowing red eye, is a big reference to HAL9000 from that movie
As others have mentioned, if you watch the credits, they show the evolution of the Axiom humans and the reparation of Earth in still art. It's really beautiful.
This is my favorite Pixar movie ever! It has some beautiful artistry and fantastic storytelling, especially in the first act! Thanks for the reaction and keep up the good work!
If you liked this one, give Titan A.E. a run. It is the last animated movie, also sci-fi, from the Don Bluth studio (Feivel and Land before Time series), due to being financially unsuccessful and thus ending the company. But it is criminally underated.
I like that the auto pilot isn't evil like it may have been in other movies or shows. It's just following the last order it received from the person at the top of the command
One of my favorite sci fi films of all time. Truly heart warming, hopeful, fun, futuristic… and we get Ripley as the voice of the computer, what more can we ask?
Fun Fact: Auto (the captain’s wheel robot villain) does not have a voice actor. His voice was the text-to-speech program MacInTalk. Pretty appropriate for the character actually.

22:53 that’s the reason I keep coming back to this film you don’t always need to talk to convey your message/story people throw round “actions speak louder than words” all the time but this film really takes that in stride also I think that this film didn’t need auto (the so called evil robot) and it still would of been amazing.
Mary: "Are you old enough to remember the old iPods?"
Me at 53: "Yeah, about that..."
I was thinking similarly, and I'm only 38.
@@gurvmlk 55 now and still going strong! 😁
@@RetroJack Well on that note, I'll technically be 39 in about a month.
@@gurvmlk Hope you have a great birthday! 🎂
@@RetroJack Thanks.
Two distinct types of people watch this film and get different feelings... I'm Wall-E because I'm waiting for someone I loved to come back and I'd give anything to just have her take my hand again. All I want is to be loved and not alone anymore..
A year has passed since I wrote the above. The girl I loved died in my arms.. She did come back, but only for the briefest of moments. Now I have lost everything and am truly alone.
@@davidr1050 I am so sorry for your loss I can't say it gets better but don't be sad that you lost your partner be happy you enjoyed your time together when you had the chance I can't say I feel your pain nor will I understand what you feel but I hope you find comfort in knowing you had someone
We are on our way toward this future, with a generation that parks themselves in front of a computer and lives on doordash. Lol
You should go back and watch the end credits (if you didn't) as the animations that run alongside them tell the story of what happens to the people next and how they develop from there. One of the best films ever, imo.
John of Mary and John (the couple Wall-E brings together) is John Ratzenberger, a Pixar staple
"Is it a weed or an actual plant?"
Weeds are just plants you don't want in your garden, so I assume the definition of what's a weed would change drastically in this situation...
No. There's a difference:
If you pull it out of the ground or otherwise kill it and it grows back, it is a weed.
If you water it and it dies, it is a plant!
@@kiillabytez Bruh.... that is just not correct
@@MagicTater It was a joke, "bruh"
this is legit one of the best films ever.
my favorite quote from a movie critic said "I don't think any other movie in the world could get away with not saying a single word the first 20 minutes and be this successful, and thats the beauty of it."
As someone who remembers 8-tracks, vinyl, and a custom playlist being a mix-tape (for portability with either a shoulder mounted boom box or a hip mounted Walkman) you saying iPod’s are old made me feel ancient. 😜
This is truly, one of my favorite romantic comedies of all time.
I love Wall E. I would love to have a Wall E to help me clean up the house.
Or you can use VAQ-M, the vacuum cleaner robot from the movie
There is an episode of LOVE, DEATH + ROBOTS that reminded me of WALL-E
Really?

@@RayMcElroy50 Noted! :)
That was the great comedic actor Fred Willard as the B&L spokesman. John Ratzenberger and Cathy Najimy were John and Mary and Jeff Garlin was the Captain.
The glowing red thing in the middle of the steering wheel was a reference to HAL in 2001. They even played some of the 2001 music during the scene where the captain was fighting the wheel.
The DVD of this has some great shorts worth watching if you can get ahold of one.
"Old iPods"?! LOL, I still am using this one, for over twelve years now. - Okay, it is old ... 😆
And the music playing while the captain is getting on his feet is a reminiscence to "2001". You should watch it. Just saying. ^^
There are a few references to 2001 including the eye of the Autopilot. I would hesitate to recommend it however, not sure it would be her cup of tea (even though it's my favourite film)
I forgot about the eye, right!
7:26 That's Michael Crawford: he played Frank Spencer in "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em" and the title role in "The Phantom of the Opera''.
Andrew Stanton also directed Finding Nemo
The joke with Hal the Roach (named after silent filmmaker Hal Roach and HAL2000 from 2001: A Space Oddysey, which heavy inspiring AUTO) is that coachroaches are not easily exterminated and are known to survive even apocapyltic scenarios. In real life, a roach does get killed if squished like other bugs and definitvely by a laser blast.
To me, the most amazing thing is how the film's director somehow made a fat guy getting back up on his feet after being knocked down such an awesome, awesome thing. And the fact that they set Captain McCrea standing back up to Also Sprach Zarathustra -- which has been the musical 'dawn of a new age' leitmotif since at least 2001: A Space Odyssey -- is just awesome sauce on an already awesome scene.
I'm sure you've noticed that Auto's red eye is also a direct reference to HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey. :)
I recommend that you see the 80s movie "Short Circuit". You'll find that Wall-E took inspiration from it to some degree. You'll love it!
Batteries Not Included is another along the same line.
Every time I see the tree grown from that shoe in the final cast and crew animation, I get very very emotional. man, it makes me love this world. wow wow...
Appropriately enough, the music that plays at 20:01 is The Ascent of Man, from 2001: A Space Odyssey. In fact Otto, with his glowing red eye, is a big reference to HAL9000 from that movie
"A romantic Sci-Fi with a message" ...and lot and lots of cannibalism
" no no, hes got a point "
The end credits kinda show them rebuilding earth if you stopped it right away.
That guy you saw at the beginning was Fred Willard. He played Phil Dumphy's dad on Modern Family. He passed away recently. RIP
As others have mentioned, if you watch the credits, they show the evolution of the Axiom humans and the reparation of Earth in still art. It's really beautiful.
This is the first movie I remember seeing in theaters. It hits so much harder now that I can understand all of the messages and symbolism.
20:07 - "Also Sprach Zarathustra" on the soundtrack! Another 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY callback.
The minimal-dialogue thing might also be a 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY ref.
One of the few animations of this ilk that sticks with you. Wonderful film.
2:38 yes! I actually still have and use my IPod shuffle; that one is the nano which is bigger than shuffle🤣 and was released after.
I love the song in the closing credits.
"That's The Power Of LOVE!"
The musical he's watching and humming to is Hello Dolly 🙂
The live version was from "Hello Dolly" a musical starring Barbra Streisand, a must watch 😊
This is my favorite Pixar movie ever! It has some beautiful artistry and fantastic storytelling, especially in the first act!
Thanks for the reaction and keep up the good work!
16:31 - Auto's appearance is *definitely* an homage to HAL-9000 in 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY.
(Which you should watch!!)
This movie and the good dinosaur doing a lot with little dialog is something i really respect
My favorite movie from Pixar. Such good messages of love and stewardship for your home
“Their only dialogue between each other is Eve! Wall-E!” Just like Finn from Star Wars only line is Rey!
If you liked this one, give Titan A.E. a run. It is the last animated movie, also sci-fi, from the Don Bluth studio (Feivel and Land before Time series), due to being financially unsuccessful and thus ending the company. But it is criminally underated.
I like that the auto pilot isn't evil like it may have been in other movies or shows. It's just following the last order it received from the person at the top of the command
Best Pixar film! Amazing use of so many non-verbal elements that still translate tons of emotion and intent.
One of my favorite sci fi films of all time. Truly heart warming, hopeful, fun, futuristic… and we get Ripley as the voice of the computer, what more can we ask?
The E in WALL-E stood for Earth while the A with the WALL-A's stood for Axiom.
