In the 22nd century, rampant consumerism, corporate greed, and environmental neglect has caused an ecocide, turning Earth into a garbage-strewn wasteland. In September 2022, at the request of Stanton, Disney licensed WALL-E to The Criterion Collection, who re-released the film as a special edition 4K Blu-Ray-standard Blu-Ray combo pack on November 22, 2022, marking the first Pixar film to ever receive such an honor. In 2021, WALL-E became the second Pixar film (after Toy Story) to be selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The film was widely named by critics and organizations, including the National Board of Review and American Film Institute, as one of the best films of 2008, and to be considered among the greatest animated films ever made. It won the 2008 Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film, the 2009 Hugo Award for Best Long Form Dramatic Presentation, the final Nebula Award for Best Script, the Saturn Award for Best Animated Film and the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature with five additional Oscar nominations. It was also commercially successful, grossing $521.3 million worldwide and becoming the ninth-highest grossing film of 2008. The film received critical acclaim for its animation, story, voice acting, characters, visuals, score, sound design, screenplay, use of minimal dialogue, and scenes of romance. WALL-E was released in the United States on June 27, 2008.
Following Pixar tradition, WALL-E was paired with a short film titled Presto for its theatrical release. The film cost $180 million to produce, a record-breaking sum for an animated film at the time. Thomas Newman composed the film's musical score. It is also Pixar's first animated film with segments featuring live-action characters. The film incorporates various topics including consumerism, corporatocracy, nostalgia, waste management, human environmental impact and concerns, obesity/ sedentary lifestyles, and global catastrophic risk. WALL-E has minimal dialogue in its early sequences many of the characters in the film do not have voices, but instead communicate with body language and robotic sounds that were designed by Burtt.
He is visited by a robot called EVE sent from the starship Axiom, with whom he falls in love and pursues across the galaxy.Īfter directing Finding Nemo, Stanton felt Pixar had created believable simulations of underwater physics and was willing to direct a film set largely in space. The film follows a solitary robot named WALL-E on a future, uninhabitable, deserted Earth in 2805, left to clean up garbage. It stars the voices of Ben Burtt, Elissa Knight, Jeff Garlin, John Ratzenberger, Kathy Najimy, with Sigourney Weaver and Fred Willard. The film was directed by Andrew Stanton, produced by Jim Morris, and written by Stanton and Jim Reardon.
