The WALL-E DVD brings home Pixar's 2008 animated feature about a lonely trash-compacting robot who falls in love with a sleek probe named EVE. Directed by Andrew Stanton, it won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and runs about 98 minutes.
It is a standard DVD, so it plays in any DVD player and in Blu-ray players too, which makes it an easy pick for a family room or a kids' player.
In the year 2805, Earth is a deserted, uninhabitable wasteland, and a single robot, WALL-E, has been left behind to clean up the garbage. He spends his days compacting trash and collecting trinkets from the garbage, until EVE, a probe robot sent from the starship Axiom, arrives on the planet.
WALL-E falls for EVE at once, and his devotion takes him far from home and into space. Ben Burtt, who was also the film's sound designer, voices WALL-E, and Elissa Knight voices EVE. Jeff Garlin plays the Axiom's Captain B. McCrea, and Fred Willard appears as Shelby Forthright.
The ship's autopilot, AUTO, is voiced by the MacInTalk text-to-speech program, and Sigourney Weaver voices the Axiom's computer. Disney released the film in US theaters on June 27, 2008.
Besides its Oscar win, WALL-E earned Academy Award nominations for Best Original Screenplay, Best Original Score, Best Original Song, Sound Editing and Sound Mixing. Its early sequences tell the story with minimal dialogue, so even young viewers can follow along.
Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment released the film on DVD and Blu-ray on November 18, 2008, and various editions included the shorts Presto and BURN-E. It was one of the best-selling DVDs of 2008, and owning the WALL-E movie on disc means it is always ready for family movie night.

A Pixar triumph that shines on BD!!!
Wall-E is a movie that has an unlikely story but it pulls it off in a marvelous way. Pixar’s ninth film is another triumph for the studio because it deftly bends comedy, action, emotion and awe-inspiring animation that should take everyone’s breath away. This is a film that has very few words (especially in the first part of it) but the characters are very well rounded despite their ability to say very few words. It’s impossible not to root for Wall-E, he is a character that has a sunny disposition despite being all alone and when EVE arrives, he’ll do anything to be with her. This movie has a lot of messages but fortunately, they are not pushed down your throat. Wall-E despite many environmental undertones, it’s a love story. And is a wonderful one.
The animation in Wall-E is as usual for Pixar, simply outstanding. You will stare in awe as the realistic look of the space, the Earth and many other settings. The comedic timing is impeccable and is remiscent of old silent films from the 1920’s. The emotion feels honest and the cast of characters is spectacular. Round this with an amazing score from Thomas Newman and you get a masterpiece.
Video & Audio
Wall-E in Bd looks absolutely amazing. This is not surprise as all the other Pixar films looks spectacular on HD. You will see every detail, every texture. Detail is sharp and colors are well reproduced. A magnificent transafer.
The 5.1 DTS-HD MA is also outstanding. There is directionality in every way and every sound is perfectly clear without any type of distortion.
Bonus Features:
This is a loaded 2-disc BD set with phenomenal bonus material. On disc 1 you have cine-explore which is a commentary with director Andrew Stanton. Also you have two great shorts – Presto and Burn-E. On disc two you have a lot of featurettes that delves with the creation of the film such as story, characters, sound design among others. Also you have publicity material and galleries. But thehighlight of the disc is without any doubt the amazing documentary “The Pixar Story” directed by Leslie Iwerks that delves with how Pixar was founded and came to be the most succesful animation company in the world. Is an insightful and fun documentary that no one should miss. The documentary goes from the very beginning of Pixar when it was a Lucasfilm division until the release of Cars in 2006. I hope they do a follow up covering the rest of the films (from Ratatouille onwards). You also have some games and othe material.
The amount of bonus content is amazing making this one of the best BD sets ever.
A DVD copy of the film is also included.
Closing thoughts:
Wall-E is an instant classic film that proves that Pixar can do no wrong. Bending comedy, action and honest emotion with a cast of great characters and wonderful music, this movie is a must own for everyone. Disney has put an spectacular package with truly amazing video & aundio and oustading bonus material, this is a set that everyone should buy. Very Highly Recommended!!!

Wall-E is a hit
A few weeks ago, my 3yo grandson asked me to buy him Wally (I thought). He’s never asked me to buy him something, so I pressed for more information. I assumed it was one of his Thomas engines, but he told me Wall-E is a robot. His mom and I were surprised he even knew about the movie, but being the over-indulgent grandmother I am, I ordered it as soon as I got home and had it sent one day! The next day my daughter supplied the back story. She was out at a meeting the night before I was there. It seems he and his dad went and rented Wall-E. They watched it that night and he really watched it – something unusual for an active 3yo. The next day, on the way to school, his dad stopped to return the movie. The little guy had a royal melt down. “No! You can’t take away MY Wall-E!” His dad tried to appease him by saying they might buy a copy since he liked it so much. He responded, “Grandma will buy it for me.”
I tell this story so if anyone wonders if it is a good movie for young children, the answer is a resounding, “Yes!” I was staying with him today and had my first opportunity to watch the movie. He’s seen it many times by now. He still sat there wrapped up in the story. He’d ask a question every now and then, but I had to remind him he’s seen it, I haven’t! It is a very well done story. There is little dialog with a lot of the story carried in the soundtrack. I enjoyed the use of one of my favorite movie musicals – Hello Dolly. There are some anxiety producing sections (I’m sensitive to that thanks to Lassie, Bambi, and The Wizard of Oz), but they aren’t so bad they might cause nightmares. No one’s mother died (remember Dumbo?). I’d kind of like a sequel!

The Good Things
*Video/sound quality is perfect.
*Includes a whole bunch of featurettes, a couple of short films, a digital copy of the movie, and other extras.
*The movie has a lot of great imagery. It is well-imagined, with lots of fascinating ideas and settings, and it is all captured on film nicely.
*Production design is wonderful. The settings are vivid, the robot characters are cool, the spaceships are cool…heck the whole thing is cool.
*The story is great. It has some touching romance scenes, as well as some thrilling peril.
*Characters (by which I mean the robots) are good. Like Charlie Chaplain (who was an inspiration), Wall-E has a lot of goofy slap-stick moments but is still charming and adorable. Eve was interesting. Their relationship resembles most other human relationships that you may have seen on (or possibly off) film, and they managed to make it believable. Other characters are great too.
*Writing is sufficient (although limited).
*There are many strong themes throughout (see below for the more questionable ones). The most prominent thing is that people have lost touch with themselves and the world, and by the end of the movie, they rediscover their roots.
*Music is not bad.
The Bad Things
*
The Questionable Things
*The movie has some very strong ideas and themes about the state of humanity and its direction for the future. It portrays a lot of excessive commercialization (although without being too condemning) and excessive pollution (which is very condemning). Many people seem to have taken offense to the portrayal of people (or specifically Americans) as being fat, lazy, and ignorant. The filmmakers say that this portrayal is not intended to be offensive or condemning; it was simply a natural effect caused by prolonged multigenerational spaceflight. You will either see these things and get all mad, or you will nod in agreement, or you will just laugh at it all.
*No dialogue for the first twenty minutes or so. Some people seem to find this aggravating. I don’t mind myself.
I never thought another Pixar movie would come along that would be better than “Finding Nemo” or “The Incredibles,” but now I would say that “Wall-E” is my new favorite. It has gorgeous imagery, from the decadent ruins of Earth to outer space (which is great, because I don’t think there are many movies that can capture these kinds of settings so effectively). It is a wonderful story with lots of thought-provoking ideas; it manages to be cute and awesome at the same time. Above all, it is a kind of science fiction that we generally don’t see in movies too much anymore; it’s a classic variety that reminds me a lot of the works of Isaac Asimov or Arthur C. Clarke. I found it captivating from beginning to end, and would gladly reccomend it to everybody.

The best animated film ever?
If you told me beforehand, “I want to show you an animated film with almost no dialogue about a trash compacting robot,” I would probably laugh in your face. Dialogue is such an important element to any movie that I might have easily assumed it would be awful; something concocted by adult science fiction fans intent on pushing their interests unto the younger generation. However I don’t mind admitting when I am wrong, and never have I been so wrong than when I told those who invited me to watch WALL-E with them that it would not be a good movie. It is not just good, it is amazingly good, and easily the best animated film I’ve ever seen.
I know there will be movie buffs and purists who will extol the virtues of SNOW WHITE, or FANTASIA, or even TOY STORY, but to me, this movie exceeds those older Classics. As part of a younger generation accustomed to computer animation and with no particular love for hand-drawn cartoons (although I do love SPIRITED AWAY), I find the polished, digital animation in WALL-E to be visually unparalleled in quality.
However, this isn’t a digital wonder with no heart. The story is touching, heartfelt, witty, romantic, frightening in its portrayal of un-curbed consumerism, and altogether delightful. With elements of classic science fiction (the oh so HAL 9000 like shipboard super computer) juxtaposed with a modern, polished take on robotics (like the white i-pod exterior of EVE), the movie delivers for the true science fiction fan and child alike.
Even if you have little or no interest in science fiction as a genre, this is still a beautifully told story that is not dependent on the science fiction elements to be enjoyable. WALL-E is a great character, filled with hope and imagination and an insatiable curiosity that any child will relate to. Eve, his ‘female’ counterpart is dramatically powerful, cautious, and ultimately as ‘human’ as WALL-E is.
A film that I will watch again and again, and one which I am completely sold on, is perfect for children and adults alike, and one of those rare films which can be watched together with neither party feeling put upon. 5/5 stars and a must buy for anyone with children, or who is a child at heart.
