the story took place in the far future where Earth was an abandoned planet covered with mountains and mountains of trash. the air was too toxic for any life-form, forcing humans to live in space instead. an army of trash compactor robots called Wall-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth Class) was left behind to clean up. one day, the last Wall-E met with a cockroach and they became friends. he also discovered a plant growing among the trash and brought it home to his truck. some time later, a spaceship landed and an advanced robot called Eve (Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator) was deployed, with the aim to search for signs of life. Wall-E immediately fell in love with Eve, who also gradually softens and accepted him. when the spaceship came to retrieve Eve, Wall-E clung to the spaceship as they were returned into space. Wall-E followed Eve to the bridge of the spaceship, where the captain leaved the control of the ship to a robotic autopilot called Auto. with the mind of its own, Auto stole the specimen that Eve collected on Earth, not wanting humans to return living on Earth. Wall-E tried protecting Eve when she was declared defective because of losing the specimen.
Pixar did a great job portraying the lonely life that Wall-E had, at the same time building a lovable character for us viewers. even the most impossible love story between Wall-E and Eve made the whole cinema go "aw..." . effortlessly, they earned everyone's empathy by being pure and believable. the animation relied heavily on communicating visually, words and voices only came at the second half, when the humans were involved. it was one thrilling ride, with spectacular scenes to take our breath away! it was so colorful and vibrant, making it all so exciting while we not only watched but also felt what the characters were feeling. who would have thought one would shed a tear or two for a love story between 2 robots?
