WALL-E

WALL-E is one of Disney Pixar's highest achievements! Considering how the makers took a risk crafting an almost silent animated picture, this is a form of arthouse victory! In a post-apocalyptic Earth abandoned by humans for eons and the mass of garbage has superseded lifeform, lives an early model garbage organizer robot. There seems to be no sign of any other living being apart from him and the cockroach that tails him everywhere. He has a routine job day in and day out, and it's pretty obvious he's starving for a companion. His yearning for one as he dances for the song in TV is truly sad!

His life changes when one day, a modern and posh-looking robot named Eve enters the Earth's atmosphere. She's here searching for something particular, but we and WALL-E have no clue. But what we do know is he loves this new bot! Maybe she is the companion he's been searching for all this time! His hesitations to approach her are hilarious! The way they communicate with each other brings warmth for sure! Soon after she's mute after locating the lifeform she's after, WALL-E takes care of her with everything he has, which Eve learns about in a touching footage replay! After she's taken away by the same mysterious spaceship she's brought in with, WALL-E goes on a journey to discover what has happened to our beloved Earth.

Humans now live in an artificially-nurtured, corporation-grown society in space with the scariest convenience you could think of; to a point where they are extremely obese and can't walk to save themselves! From brushing teeth to taking a piss, they are dependent on bots! These are future humans with no clue nor awareness about their original habitat, but that's about to change. It all starts with one lady having the constant screen in front of her knocked off, which leads her to start noticing and enjoying her surroundings. And then the captain is delivered the plant Eve carries, which he follow suits with the Return to Earth protocol. The entire climax of them discovering the truth and working together by learning how to walk for the first time and fight against the mutiny so that they could get back to Earth forms an incredibly moving second half!

WALL-E playing with bubble wrap, getting ejected out of the space pod, losing his memory after a card replacement before finally holding Eve's hand as he always dreamed of plus him and Eve dancing across outer space as the former tries to match the latter using a fire extinguisher are some of the best sequences! The photorealistic quality of the visual effects is freaking insane! The gorgeous solar system created here is a testament to the genius minds behind this project! Film editing too is perfect!
