Humans left the uninhabitable earth 700 years ago to live in luxury aboard huge space ships. Left alone on the planet was Wall-E, a little robot who still dutifully collects trash, compacts it, and stacks the cubes in sky-high stacks. He finds some interesting things in his job, but every night as he watches the romantic songs from his video of "Hello, Dolly!" he wishes he could find someone to love.

I wasn't prepared for how moving this wonderful movie would be. The early scenes showing Wall-E painfully alone and longing for love are absolutely heartbreaking. Love does come, in the form of a robot named Eve, but she takes a little convincing, which is adorable, and she eventually saves Wall-E's life.

There's lots of fun and high-speed action aboard a huge spaceship and some guilty insights into the future of mankind (fat, lazy slobs catered to by robots). With humour, romance, thrills, and above all, a loveable trash-compactor named Wall-E, this is a movie all ages can enjoy. (Bring your tissues!)

Je suis très satisfaite de mon achat.
La marchandise était telle que décrite.
Je serais prête à acheter à nouveau de ce revendeur.

I absolutely loved this movie. As a father of three, I feel like I've been through more than my fair share of kids' movies, but I went to see this one twice in theatres. At heart, this movie is a love story: simple, sweet, and beautiful.

It is true that this movie has an environmental message, but it is one of simplicity and hope rather than one that is dire and apocalyptic: the earth is ours, our home, and nothing can replace it. We need to take care of it.

In a time period when even kids' movies try to appeal to audiences with a certain jaded cynicism, this movie is honest and fresh, with a wonderfully appealing main character who ties the whole film together. I'll see this movie again, more than once. Maybe the kids will join me, maybe not. :)

Wall E is a sweet little film. In a true 2.39:1 big screen format, it's neither apocalyptic nor is it grim. It's just at heart a pretty little love story of two robots from opposite sides of the track and their quest to bring humanity back to planet earth. One of the better films from Pixar animation.

The main Bluray disc consists of the movie and two animated shorts, one 5 min. long, the other 8 min. long. The main audio is an English 5.1 DTS-HD track plus there are Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks in French and Spanish. It's not the best surround track I've ever heard, but it does the job! There are also two extra commentary tracks including one they call the Geek track.

There is also a second Bluray disc full of extras including arcade games, CG fly throughs of the Axiom, deleted scenes and various robotic profiles. Plus a third standard DVD which has the movie, two shorts and a couple of extras. The DVD audio tracks are in Dolby Digital 5.1 English and French. Being from 2008, there does not appear to be any digital copy.

For the extra five bucks, the BD combo pack is the way to go. You get an entire 2nd BD disc of extras plus with it's slipcover, a much classier looking release to place on your shelves that will perfectly match with Disney's other newer combo collections. Unlike the DVD collection which is in a weird all cardboard package which may eventually scratch the DVD's and doesn't match with any standard DVD cases. Disney must have gotten a lot of complaints about it as they never used it again on any other DVD releases. So do yourself a favour and go for the combo collection for the pitiful little extra money even if you don't currently have a bluray player. You'll be thankful in the long run.

I wanted to order Wall-E in advance for my nephew's fourth birthday. The shipping time for the product was not a problem but I was quite disappointed with the product I received. I had made sure to order the regular DVD (non-blueray) and of course an English copy... What I actually received was a Blue-ray copy of what I can assume to be the movie Wall-E, but in Italian. When I looked in to how to return the product, they told me I may not be reimbursed for the return shipping charges, even though it was the wrong product. Perhaps it was a fluke mistake with my order, but I will not be ordering from this company again.

I love this show when it first came out. Watch it over and over, never get tired of it. Now my daughter just loves Wall E. We both enjoy the show together and never get tired of it. Thank you!

I bouth a use dvd that was mark very good it was not so it was full of scrath'is and I could not view the film

It's Pixar. On Blu-ray. If that hasn't grabbed your attention then I don't know what will. You can see every single little detail with no trouble. On top of that, it's also a great movie. My only quip is that for the guy who did the sound effects from Star Wars, there's barely any surround sound going on. Even Toy Story had better surround effects. It's a very minor quip though; not enough to drop a star.

What's not to love? It's cute, a classic. Great for kids of all ages including this big kid and my husband, an even bigger kid.

Wall E is great from start to finish but what I love best about it is the limited dialogue which demands that the viewer watch the film intently to notice every movement, sound and expression which are the keys to unlocking the emotions of the characters. This is animation at its best.
