WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class), is about a battered little robot who collects rubbish.

Written and directed by Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo), WALL-E was inspired by the question, "What if mankind had to leave Earth and someone forgot to turn off the last robot?"

But for all its space-age sensibilities, at its heart WALL-E is that most traditional of films: a love story. Left behind on Earth when mankind abandoned its contaminated planet 800 years ago, WALL-E has continued to carry out the task for which he was designed. Diligently spending his days collecting the massive piles of rubbish man left behind, he compacts them into cubes that he stacks into towering piles. With only an indestructible cockroach for company, WALL-E spends his evenings going through the pile of strange items he finds, like a Rubik's cube and iPod, and watching an old videotape of Hello Dolly.

When the sleek and shiny robot EVE (Extra-terrestrial Vegetation Evaluator) lands in search of organic life, WALL-E is smitten. Much of Pixar's genius is in imbuing their characters with such expressive personalities. The way WALL-E looks at EVE, his awkward manner in her presence and the surreptitious way he tries sidling up to her are as nuanced as the work of any actor.
